Faces, Mirrors And Questions Poem by Afzal Shauq

Faces, Mirrors And Questions

Rating: 5.0


Once again
Open eyed till morning
I question...
Do I choose to see
these faces within faces?

Will all these faces
reflecting in the mirror
of my caring heart
lead to prosperity...
bring about peace...?

No answers are forth coming
I close my eyes to sleep
The mirror reflects faces
questions spring forth
once again I awake.

Afzal... tis interesting that once again 'regardless of creed or colour'... the window of opportunity posed by facing questions... mirrors each of us... I reflect positively over this translation...
