Today's Sunday
Today's Sunday
They took me out into the sun
for the first time today
and for the first time in my life
amazed that the sky was so distant
so blue
so wide
I was still
Then I sat on the ground with respect
leaned my back against the wall.
No rolling with the waves at this moment
at this moment, neither freedom, nor my wife
the earth, the sun, and I
am content
NAZIM HIKMET
