That's How the Story of Love Started

I have translated this from an Arabic story that a friend sent me... Thanks Friend.....

Gold_N_Silk

That's how the story of Love started

Once upon a time

there was no life on earth

Except for the children of Vice and Virtue

who were roaming on earth

not knowing what to do

bored with the feeling of nothingness

Then... one day

Creativity suggested

a game of hide and seek

to overcome boredom

All applauded and welcomed the idea

Madness jumped and cried:

I want to start

I want to start

I shall close my eyes

and start to count

you all go to hide

Madness leaned on a trunk of a tree
And started counting

One

Two

Three

One after the other

Children of Vice and Virtue started hiding

Kindness found a place

on the face of the moon

Deceit found a hiding in dirt

Romance found a place

in the clouds

Longing found a hiding

in the cavity of earth

Lieing cried:

I will hide under a rock

then went under water

to the bottom of the lake

Madness conting was about to be done:

Seventy nine

Eighty

Eighty one ...

Children of Vice and Virtue all went to hiding

Except for Love

Love, as usual

was unable to decide

where to hide

and as usual

Love is hard

to hide

Madness continued countin':

Ninety five

Ninety six

Ninety seven

Love was still trying to hide

Madness continued:

Ninety eight

Ninety nine

One Hund...

Love jumped into the garden

and among the roses found a hiding

Madness continued:

Hundred...

with eyes opened

Madness shouted

Here I come

I will find you one by one

Laziness was first to be found

as it is so hard to hide,

Lieing came out breathless

from under the water

when the clouds moved west

Romance had to appear

Kindness with moon light

came on the clear

Longing was found

and no more could hide

Madness found them one by one

But hopelessly kept looking for Love

Till Jelousy whispered

Love is hiding in the roses

Madness took a sharp wooden spear

started striking at the rose bush

to get Love to come out of hiding

Love came out covering his eyes

Madness Cried:

OH MY God

What have I done?

What shall I do?

I have blinded Love

Love answered:

You can not bring back my sight

So be my guide

Since then

Love that was blinded

Has been

by Madness guided

And you know the rest of the story

Happy Valentine Day
