How Can I Believe Poem by Akhtar Jawad

How Can I Believe

Rating: 5.0


It was a single breath,
a singular heart beat,
but many flowers say,
fifty years have passed,
How can I believe?
Right now I took her hands in my hands,
and I kissed her in early springs,
but the birds sing a golden song,
How can I believe?
In the cold winter rains,
we took shelter in a hut,
but the clouds say we stayed there for half of a century,
How can I believe?
It wasn't more than fifty seconds,
all right, my be fifty minutes,
the calender on the wall shows it's 2017,
How can I believe?
The sun and the moon keeping silence just smile,
The stars tell it's the last day of our teen age,
but each day durated for thousand days,
How can I believe?
The stock flowers, still fresh, still fragrant,
are these flowers more than 18000 days old,
these flowers say never mind they are liars,
Thanks, you are truthful, in you I believe.

This resonates with me.....! How swift time flies! We are never able to believe that so many years have gone by! I too feel the same! On this 11th Feb. we will be celebrating 38 years of togetherness.... but some how I feel it has been just yesterday that he came into my life!
