And the Eternity Slowly Whispered Yes...

      This desert is sad.....  but it is not its own sensation - it is taken so by peop-

le.....  only sand for miles around.....  even Egyptians find it dull....  the dunes like

curdled vawes drift from the banks of the Nile to the foot of  the far away mountains....

nobody will ever find what is hidden deep under this unmeasured amount of sand.....


     Only tender wind caresses it sparing no efforts in trying to count billions of golden

grains.....  and making a break for a rest sighs in silence  -  there are far too more

stars in the sky.....  But even this wind is not able to penetrate into the depths of

this lifeless ocean where as predestined rests the unshared love  - (who could measure 

it?) - that exceeds the number of the grains in this desert and even that of the stars...

And that love created the beauty which could be compared only to its own power.....


     Sensation.....  articles in newspapers, magazines.....now all the mankind knows

how beautiful the Queen of Egypt was.....  "What Was Hidden in the Depths of Desert for

Thousands of Years?".....  Yes, Nefertiti was the beauty itself.....  "The Eternity

Uncovered....."  Actually the eternity slowly whispered yes.....  but whom did it

address it to?


     ..... to the man whose warmth and tenderness turned out to be much higher than

the masterpiece of female beauty created by nature.....  the inspired soul of the artist

hardly breathing merged with the beauty it gave life to.....  Here they are inseparable.

The supreme harmony of silent music of touching souls.....  And it is this love to which

the eternity slowly said  yes.
