Marcia Funebre Poem by Ahmad Shiddiqi
Marcia Funebre
(dedicated to Mr. Alexei Volodin, a great pianist)
slowly
souls ascend
to highest palace
left all behind
the fame and victory
only love and hope, it brought
walk helplessly
to an unsurpassed forest
without friends or beloved ones
the snakes
imitate devil and crime
can we remove it from ourselves?
(inspired by Henri Rousseau's The Snake Charmer)
I love the way arrange those stanzas. It is an elegant piece.
