Nowruz

As the frozen sky melts and drips down,

Droplet by droplet.

Thawing the trapped sunlight from the ground,

And how death's counterpart will visit these lands,

Breathing life into every branch that was touched by its sibling.

Bird songs echo from this firmament forevermore,

And my eyes will kiss green.

Time is backtracking.

Fallen leaves grow magnificent wings and fly back to their branches.

The night breeze is touched by the sun before hitting my delicate face,

And the dark clouds scurry away to make way for brightened days.

The land feels like a dormant creature rising after its slumber,

This is reanimation,

This is spring,

This is Nowruz.

NOWRUZ - Noun

Nowruz, also known as Persian New Year, is a 13-day holiday that celebrates the first day of spring and the vernal equinox, which usually occurs around March 21. The word "Nowruz" translates to "new day" in Persian, and the holiday symbolizes harmony with nature and renewal.

“Nowruz means a lot to me, waking up and realizing that the dark days of winter are over and it's time for the land to become green and warm again. Eating "samanak" and drinking "haft mewa". It's all very nostalgic!” Ahmad Morid is a young and self-taught poet and artist. They have been writing poetry since May of last year and drawing and painting since they were seven years old.
