How far is far?
How far is far?
How many ways to get there
We walk
and walk towards meaning
and don't arrive
It is a mirage
guide of the confused
to distant water
futile and heroic
We walk, and in the desert
we grow wiser
and don't say : 'Because the wilderness is perfection'
But our wisdom needs a song
with a lively tempo
so that hope doesn't flag
How far is far?
How many ways to get there?
- Mahmoud Darwish
