Farah Shaikh - how can we understand?

how can we possibly understand the depth? ?
how can we possibly realise the strength? ?
how on earth can we control our feelings? ?
when from within us we let loose those innocent beings? ?
those innocent beings one day will come back..
one day will come back all worn out and slack!
from what we thought was a pure white dove..
only to realise the pain was called love...
