Oh White crane!
White crane!
lend me your wings,
I won’t Fly Further to the West
From here I shall return
White crane!
Lend me your ears,
And Hear me out in Silence
Tell them how firmly we Stand
White Crane!
Lend me your Eyes,
And watch me in Distance
How United we stand

I visited the Potala many years ago now and it was glorious to see where HH once lived.

How lucky you are, I have seen it on my way. But never had the chance to visit it. My only wish is to witness His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama watching his countrymen from the Potala Palace.

In Tibetan Buddhism, cranes symbolize the Longetivity and reincarnation, which can also be considered a compassionate bird.

Oh yes, thank you, I enjoyed the flight of your crane. White crane, save me a dance for later. For now, I am learning forbidden steps in a lonely exile, and I fear the choreography of aging teachers is beyond my physical understanding, but I think I will fly when my imagination lifts up into the sky or will it be only into some kind resting place from which I can return and take your wing under my shoulder and do an odd waltz.

Beautiful. Reading your poems from the other side of the globe, makes me miss my home country more. Your line from interview “even the heart and mind choose to run away every now and then towards the homeland” is what I go through every day. Please keep writing more. Your work not only touches our hearts but it inspires us to write more 🙂
