What happens when we die? Is there a second life after death? Why does everyone talk in their dying moments about a tunnel of light at the end?
Can insects read? What does a Tibetan monk do in a high school? Was Newton just a mathematician? How do we save the world?
And most important of all, does she reciprocate his admiration?
Many important questions that need to be answered, and who is more capable of doing that than a high school student who believes that he is the best musician in the world, and with a little help from his coffee-loving grandfather (even if he is dead... a little).
Rubaiyat bin Qalala.
Poetry is sweet words that nourish the heart and conscience of those with good taste. I present to you some verses.
If time had been long, it would not have forgotten you
May my heart be kind and may you make it happy
For years of my life I have been giving you
And in the middle of the heart you have the most beautiful treasures
If the nights keep you away, I will be afraid
The path of your connection, my thought, I am chanting it
I stayed up all night, my dear, and wrote about you
Express my feeling with the most beautiful word
