Glancing beyond the shiny stars
And seeing the earth as it is,
Learning more of the galaxy,
Exploring more the Milky Way
Without stress or feeling of haste,
And knowing the source of balance
That balances the outer space.
Asking nature of its nature
In a way that I am careful,
Comprehending the sands of time
And doing my purpose and dream.
Consulting to witty sequoias
On how to be giant and wise.
Owing the secret of the sea
Because it makes me wide and deep.
Observing eagles as they soar
And hearing lions as they roar;
Understanding what power is
And the essence of leadership
To use crowns and scepters wisely,
And to rule applying justice,
Being rational on the throne
And to give the people support.
Keeping in mind that I am me
To live life without pretending.
(dedicated to Mr. Ahmad Shiddiqi, a poet and a friend)
lovely write up and i like the idea, the imagery, symbol and everthing about this poem keep it up dear poet
Obed, this is nice. Your idea 'bout telling lecture you'd got is so nice. Its own meaning is deeper than what it's written. Nice.
in response: =) yeah, i would agree.. in my 'lay still and hush' we have this notion of getting lost like in your galaxy cause we're bound for infinity ayt? sail on, Liyo Denorte
