Slow Poem by Lubna Hazeem

Slow



Im headed towards the ultimate road
Where skies are held where clouds do float
Im headed towards alternative hope
Where lights are sent where crowds are remote
With simple treads
Away from conflicts
But not in a position of threats
Just uninterested in compliments

He says: ''Cars and planes''
''Ships and trains''
And where would you be,
On your own today?
I say: ''A little bit plain''
''But im not ashamed''
And where i might be
Im not alone today

Slow, it's true
Without friends
Without foes
Im always going to be slow
No enemy of danger
No penalty for leisure
Unfathomable to you
But im not a stranger, no...
He says: ''Where would you be? ''
''Straying away indeed''
I say: ''Im unfathomable to you''
''But im not an enemy, no...''

Where the pale light goes
Where the rare plight flows
That's where i'd like to go
Im walking slow
Away from home
But im not alone
Im not alone, no....

With delicate steps
I forget my dread
And wander off to where
The pale light's fed
With pointed eyes
I forget these lies
And wander off to where
The rare plight's high

I see him when he speaks
I hear him when he hears
And that's where he takes me
In his arms now....
