Abendrot : [N.]

The color of the sky while the sun is setting

The sun dips below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the calm sea, a sense of peace and tranquility descends upon the world. The sky is painted in hues of pink, orange, and purple, while the water mirrors the colorful spectacle above.

As one of my friends says:
“Feeling a bit blue and sleepy? Take a moment to watch the sunset or sunrise – it can give you a fresh start for the next 12 hours.”

Next time you find yourself near the water at sunset, take a moment to stop and soak in the beauty of the moment. Let the colors wash over you, breathe in the salty sea air, and feel your worries melt away. In the grand scheme of things, the sunset and calm sea remind us that there is beauty and peace to be found in even the simplest of moments.

Although in this passion and shame
I am drowning in the sea of ​​sugar
Although I am a prisoner of travel
Fresh to the smell of my homeland

گر چه در این شور و شرم
غرقه بحر شکرم
گر چه اسیر سفرم
تازه به بوی وطنم

As I searched for a breathtaking view in the Village, a sudden movement caught my eye, a squirrel darting above the cabin. Intrigued, I crept closer until I discovered the perfect spot to capture.
But alas, the squirrel vanished into the shadows, leaving me empty-handed, deprived of the chance to immortalize its haunting presence.

Eyebrows like meteor             hair like cloud
Sight like new star             visage like the sun
My eyes became Jupiter             my enthusiasm was uncountable
I was drowned in her eyes             like drowning in the water
What is she in my mind?             Like delusion, like a dream
An unquestionable goddess             an unanswerable question
Impossible to describe             in Inscription and paperback

Sina Nowroozian

ابروانش چون شهاب             گیسوانش چون‏ سحاب
دیده‌اش نو‌اختری             روی ماهش، آفتاب
چشم من شد مشتری             شور و شوقم بی‌حساب
غرق چشمانش شدم             غرقه گشتن اندر آب
چیست او در خاطرم؟             مثل رویا، مثل خواب
یک الهه بی‌گمان             یک سوال بی‌جواب
شرح آن ناممکن است             در نوشتار و کتاب
