A Wound That Time Cannot Heal
A Soulful Ghazal by Salman Savaji
Salman Savaji, a 14th-century Persian poet, is known for his elegant and deeply emotional poetry. His verses often explore themes of love, longing, and the sorrow of separation. In this ghazal, the poet describes how love has consumed his heart, leaving him restless and lost. He portrays love as an inescapable journey—where even those who have never set foot in its path eventually become familiar with its sorrows. Through beautiful imagery, he captures the pain of separation and the desperate hope for healing.
🌿 My heart is bound by love’s endless pain,
My eyes, lost in longing, shine once again.
💫 No soul has walked this path and remained the same,
In the end, love’s sorrow calls each by name.
✨ My heart is left behind at your door,
Like a sigh in the night, lost evermore.
🌙 If you do not grant me mercy or grace,
The wound of distance shall forever remain in place.

Thoughts on Vocal and the way the world is
"Death cannot stop true love, only delay it." – Wesley in The Princess Bride. I decided to come back to Vocal on a very cold and dark night at the end of December. I had been, and still am, convalescing from a horrible staph infection that had gone misdiagnosed for months. This, paired with the increasing challenges of being healthy, making the best choices for my co-parented child, being a wife, and being a director at a new job, was a lot to manage.
