«How Good»

«How Good»

How good it is

that our strength is built on kindness—

our steps aligned with the path of the heart,

our hearts bright

with the sunlight of life.

Against that blind darkness,

our eyes remain full of meeting, memory, and light;

at times bitter, deeply instructive—

a moment plunging into the depth of an ocean.

How good it is

that by the belief in radiance,

we stay true to the horizon—without falsehood.

That we hold a place in each other’s hearts,

sitting there,

and rising hand in hand.

Shariati‑Moghaddam, Ali
