The Magician
by Hooman Anvari

Ambition is a vast ocean,
The more you drink, the thirstier you become

Patience is a block of ice,
If you wait 'till it melts you can quench your thirst

Opportunity is a piece of fruit,
It needs to be picked when it's ripe

Cruelty is a nightmare,
If not controlled, you never wake up

Hatred is a fire,
It burns everything in sight

Fear is a dessert,
Where nothing ever grows

Love is a magnet,
Which attracts things together

The ego is a balloon,
The more it's inflated, the sooner it pops ...

Success is as sleep,
The harder you try, the longer it takes,
The less you stress, the sooner it happens

Optimism is money,
The more you have, the more you spend

Love is the sun,
Its warmth is always there,
Even at night when its presence is not felt

Doubt is thunder,
It strikes loudest in the dark

Fear is the dark,
Its abyss endless

Faith is a compass,
It reveals direction

Reflection is a clock,
It keeps us informed of our progress

Volatile-temperament is a disease,
Anyone can catch its contamination

Honesty is gold,
The purer its content, the more its worth increases in value

Potential is a seed,
Its content is capability in its embryonic form

Anger is smoke,
It temporarily blinds vision

Violence is an eclipse,
It deteriorates eyesight

Abuse is lightning,
If struck, its result is either death or a narrow escape

Friendship is fire,
When too far or too close, its result is consequent temperatures of either extreme

Volatile temperament is a genetically deficient seed,
Its only fruit developing into embarrassment

Laughter is a medication,
Its advisable to follow the recommended dosage,

Justice is a mirror,
It reflects only whatever is in front of it

Truthfulness is a window,
It portrays nature's reality

Personality is a piece of metal,
The easier it heats up, the easier it bends

Imagination is a flat tire,
Only once it's inflated can it best serve its purpose

Concentration is a laser,
The more focused its projection, the more increase in its potency

Life is an egg,
The safer its kept, the less chance it cracks

Suspicion is a magnifying glass,
It reveals what the normal eye cannot see

Envy is a microscope,
It reveals more than the eye can see

Arrogance is ventriloquism,
You may as well be talking to somebody else

Jealousy is a tornado,
Only after it passes through can the damage be measured

Cruelty is an earthquake,
The only thing it measures up to is the Richter scale

Determination is a piece of charcoal,
Which when reaches maturity transforms into inestimable value

Religion is a self-programmable moral computer,
which functions purposefully once we comply with the manufacturer's instructions

Science is a tool,
What more does its purpose serve?

Paranoia is one kind of shadow,
Its image may well haunt us,
But it's only ever a reflection of our true selves

Faith is another kind of shadow,
Even though we may only appear to stumble into its mystery at night,
It always follows us unconditionally and eternally, with or without light

Respect is like the mother's womb,
We never fully appreciate its necessity until we develop and mature

Youthhood is like our parents' love,
We don't appreciate it until it's gone

Superstition is a ghost,
The more it creeps into our minds, the sooner it haunts us

Life is a cloud,
We can sleep on it,
But only 'till the story ends ...

Innocence is childhood,
The world a never-ending adventure

Hope is a fairy tale,
No matter what the consequence it always has a happy ending

Love is magic,
No earthly power can grasp its diversity

God is a magician,
Who by the very nature of His wand performs true magic

We are His audience,
Caught spellbound by His image

Our soul is the wand,
And at birth the magic show begins.
