Poetry Moment of peace Shania Naderipour July 14, 2004 iranian.com If I had a moment of peace It was when my eyes could look over the edge And watch that dreamy river flow down into Esfahan If I had my moment of peace It was when my feet kicked the dirt and sand of the rocky rubble Around my streets If I had a moment of peace It was when I was watching my friends and family with warm eyes Crowded around the harmonious guitar Laughing and dancing If I had my moment of peace It was when I let my eyes gaze into the fire That the young children lit During "Chahr-Shambeh Soori" If I had my moment of peace It was when you and I were in paradise Back home. ....................
