Prayer In Space Gaols Poem by Naseer Ahmed Nasir

Prayer In Space Gaols

Rating: 5.0


O God!
I'm but a moment in your endless millennia
My life span is but a shred of your continuum
Since times immemorial
The blue sky signifies the holiness
Of your sleep
You sit in the very heart of the night
Illumining the eternity of stars
Sounds are but the seranata of your silences
You are the ocean of lyrics
Antidote to the grief stretched from end to end
But the fate of my earths is the gaol of space
Set them free, O Lord
Fill the darkness of stellar distances with light!
Make me limitless!


(1993, Translated by Dr. Satyapal Anand)

'My life span is but a shred of your continuum' U have written beautifully Sir :) The above line has been one of my strongest views about this soul and body! The soul remains the same, its just the body tht changes. :)

What an amazing spiritual poem! Some of my favorite images here are these: 'The blue sky signifies the holiness Of your sleep' And 'Sounds are but the seranata of your silences You are the ocean of lyrics' Also: 'Fill the darkness of stellar distances with light! Make me limitless! ' the ending is esp. powerful.
