“روزی ما دوباره كبوترهایمان را پیدا خواهیم كرد
و مهربانی دست زیبایی را خواهد گرفت

روزی كه كمترین سرود
بوسه است
و هر انسان
برای هر انسان
برادری ست
روزی كه دیگر درهای خانه شان را نمی بندند
قفل افسانه ایست
و قلب
برای زندگی بس است

روزی كه معنای هر سخن دوست داشتن است
تا تو به خاطر آخرین حرف دنبال سخن نگردی
روزی كه آهنگ هر حرف، زندگی ست
تا من به خاطر آخرین شعر، رنج جستجوی قافیه نبرم
روزی كه هر حرف ترانه ایست
تا كمترین سرود بوسه باشد

روزی كه تو بیایی، برای همیشه بیایی
و مهربانی با زیبایی یكسان شود
روزی كه ما دوباره برای كبوترهایمان دانه بریزیم ...

و من آنروز را انتظار می كشم
حتی روزی
كه دیگر
نباشم”
― احمد شاملو
