Landscape

Vahid Nazemi

Life’s masterpiece, a word — forever, always: life

As prey, in a trap — wells on the ways: life

By the lives of lives — shapes and stays: life

Its coming, going, being— nights after days: life

Everyone and everywhere — similar plays: life

Finally, the Last Supper — last time prays: life

Raw to ripen, a trip — earns, holds and pays: life

Life’s landscape unique - a limited phase: life
