Some poems by Mani Sharifian

1. Words of Wisdom B y: Mani Sharifian Summer 2005, Tehran

2. 1.Secrets Not all that glitters is gold Not all I utter shall be told Not all who smile are happy Not all who go to war are bold We shall wait, maybe a thousand years So that all these secrets are unfold

3. 2.Happiness To the day, that ocean of tears That dwells in every single ego Wouldn't let sorrow enter, hither Only happy tears are allowed to flow

4. 3.The Magi Not all the wise ar e to be seen Some, you never see with eyes, so keen For withe r silver white snowflakes come They'd depart, all that is green

5. Not everything there, is for me to see There lie so many obstacles ahead of me The sunlight reflected in the mirror Is seen when the sun is behind thee

6. 4.Great deeds Need careful heeds Yet a single water drop Helps a seed that breeds By The Little Swallow
