Dalgaları seyrederken kayboldum aralarında
I was lost among the waves while watching them
My eyes turned into blue
As if I was breathing through my skin instead of my nose
The smell of the world in fact would be the smell of iodine
I tasted something salty
My face brightened
That was the taste with which I was familiar
My eyes were wet but I didn't cry
I coulde see blurry but better
The important thing was to see as it is
What I saw was enough for me
I could feel and understand more than what was spoken
Because what was told was not always true
Everybody has its own reality
For me
What they made me feel was important
Maybe"nice to meet you"means"it doesn't matter if we meet"
Or"how can I help you"means"I hope I don't have to help you"
"Let's drink something sometime" could be "if you will pay!"
Or if"I really wanna see you" means "if I can find time"?!
Therefore what I think is important"and also what they meant to be
Instead of becoming foreigners more and more
Using less words is the best
Instead of listening to what is said between two lips of the one
Listening to nature
Leafs of tree which are trying to be heard among all that chaos and noise
Bidrs hang on those branches
If there is one around, the sea which is trying th be heard by its waves
Sound of the wind which sometimes pats your face
And times cuts your face off
We should listen to the cities
Which we read from the books and watch at old movies
We should smell the flowers and the grass after the rain,
The sea, the moss
We should touch the cat, the dog on the streets
Which human being hasn't tamed
If you can find, touch the pebble which has just been washed away by a wave
Even if it is rainy, muddy
You should walk on the sands with bare foot
Without thinking, fear or shame
We should remember
Not only the ones we forget
But also what we were doing without the things we have now
That many things are not indispensable
It all starts with only being you
When you see, hear, smell, touch,
When you start feeling life...
Gözlerim mavi oldu birden
Sanki burnumdan değil derimden nefes alıyordum
Dünyanın kokusu aslında iyot kokusuymuş
Tuzlu bir tat geldi ağzıma
Aydınlandı yüzüm, alışkın olduğum tattı bu
Islaktı gözlerim ama ağlamaktan değil
Bulanık ama aslında daha iyi görüyordum
Önemli olan olduğu gibi görmekti
Gördüğüm kadarı da yetiyordu bana
Hissediyordum, anlıyordum konusulandan daha fazla
Çünkü anlatılanlar her zaman doğru değildi
Herkesin kendi doğrusuydu biraz da
Benim içinse
Bana ne hissettirdikleri önemliydi
Belki"tanistigimiza memnun oldum"
"Karsilasmamizin bir önemi yok"demekti
Ya da"size nasıl yardımcı olabilirim?"
"Umarım yardımcı olmam gerekmez"demekti
"Beraber bir şeyler içeriz"
"Hesabı sen ödeyeceksen..." demek olabilir miydi?
Ya"seni çok görmek isterim" "eğer vakit bulabilirsem" demekse...?!
Bu yüzden benim ne düşündüğüm önemli biraz da söylemek istedikleri
Gittikçe yabancılaşmaktansa
Kelimeleri daha az kullanmak
İnsanın iki dudağının arasından çıkan sesleri dinlemektense
Doğaya kulak vermek
O karmaşanın, gürültünün arasında sesini duyurmaya çalışan ağaçların yaprakları
O dallara tutunan kuşları
Varsa yakında bir yerlerde
Dalgalarla sesini duyurmaya çalışan denizi
Kimi zaman yüzünüzü hafifçe okşayan
Kimi zaman bıçak gibi kesen rüzgarın sesini
Dinlemek lazım
Kitaplardan okuduğumuz veya eski filmlerden seyrettiğimiz
Artık tanıyamadığımız şehirleri
Koklamak lazım çiçekleri, yağmurdan sonraki çimeni, denizi, yosunu
Dokunmak lazım
Sokaktaki kediye, köpeğe
İnsanoğlunun henüz evcilleştiremediği
Sahilde az önce üzerinden dalgaların akıp geçtiği bir çakıl taşına
Hava yağmur da, çamur da olsa
Çıplak yürümek lazım kumların üstünde
Düşünmeden, korkmadan, utanmadan
Hatırlamak lazım
Sadece unuttuklarımızı değil
Aslında şu an sahip olduklarımız yokken ne yaptığımızı
Çoğu şeyin vazgeçilmez olmadığını
Sadece sen olduğunda başladığını herşeyin
Sen gördüğün, duyduğun, kokladığın, dokunduğun zaman
Sen hayatı hissetmeye başladığın zaman...
