Reading my dad's Rubaiyat ...



I'm reading my dad's Rubaiyat - 

I can hear the waves breaking upon the stony shore - 

Behind the oleanders are the silent pines - 

A butterfly like a piece of rich brocade settles upon the deck - 

These verses, like the watch around my wrist, bring his memory close - 

We cast the same shadow upon the earth - 

When I look into a mirror I see his face -
