Gradual Earth Poem by Naveed Akram

Gradually the sun surpasses us
With vigour that invigorates the hearts
Of those who are smaller than the restless.

Suns and similar stars surprise us
With grounds and learning that astounds
The sons of the earth and fire.

Sick mirrors are the wet faces
That smile and smirk with glaring
Light from the night and the day.

The sun has travelled like a truth,
Mothers on happy routes digest it,
Feeling their futures with the dream.
