Enes Kišević: Heritage of God

With Old Bridge of Mostar

two banks became one.

That’s how the Almighty wanted

and He built it by

the hand of Hajrudin.

This word of stone belongs

to the heritage of God

for its look and beauty.

It was being built and deconstructed

this bridge is like a light and dark

under eternal protection of God.

What the moon is on the sky

among the stars –

that’s the bridge of Mostar

on the earth.

He remains on memory

of those who see

him only once.

Without the bridge of Mostar,

beside of all its stars

and oceans –

The world would be crippled.

That was shown

by these 11 years

not his

but human’s fall.

I rely on pitying God

that He will make

the world stand up on the feet

after the Bridge is rebuilt.
