The sun brushes the treetops
A day is done time for home
I walk with no words or stops
I am just a lump of gray stone,
As I only pause to look to your window.

The wind has a gentle blow
Carrying the fragrance of closing bloom,
Combs removed your hair flows
Boldly down in your own room
Unaware that anyone can see.

I watch for a moment’s eternity
Lost in dreams that are not mine
Then enter into my stark reality
With your vision in my mind
Body old and tired from a hard day.

It’s the only time I see her that way,
Pure skin and unwound hair,
For she is someone else in the day,
A different lovely than when there
Away from the streets and the shops.

Gloom

I do admire your translations and the ability to make the poems your own

It's so hard to say "this is now my favorite" because so many pieces of your poetry would fill a book that would make Rumi jealous.

But there was a special vision about this, Sir, that stirred my very well.  I thank you for that.
