Eraser. Poem by Syed Anwar Yarkhan Jilani

Eraser.

Rating: 4.3


There is the pencil to commits mistakes
The eraser is there to remove distastes.
Each time untouched breath is induced
And happiness with gaiety is introduced.
In the royal bargain a little of it is lost
With time the eraser is sure rubbed off.
Existence was benevolently devoured
Barbarous corrections it has savoured.
Without appreciation there was no ask
Perhaps it was so created for that task.
A few lines unintentionally did go astray
God bless the eraser that did not betray.

Like seasons the epoch has changed
Accept the vista differently arranged
Become an eraser to your children.

wonder such memories pass away leaving deep scars on white paper of life making it even torn yet the bright vision to erase the mistake with hopeful hopes and moving forward to write more absorbingly at every phase with undeterred passion of living............possible with all values of life..........simply by the art of living.........art in life...........for life........with an eraser........i enjoyed it! !
