A Poet's Note Three (Lago Tammuriata) Poem by Ahmad Shiddiqi

(dedicated to Leslie Alexis, a poet friend at poemhunter)

I set my foot on a virgin land
I've been roused by its rocks
I've been refreshed by its ponds
I've been blessed with friendship

you've been supported me
believe in myself again
you've been saved me
heal my broken heart

I just need to make it sure
nothing submerges that chance
you've been eagerly shared love
the light is starting to pour on my soul
