The Bridge Of Love Poem by Nazmul Haque

</>Love is the only bliss in life -
everything else deceives,
everything else is a mirage.

Life allures you
but it never satisfies you.
On the contrary-
it leaves a feeling of great frustration.

Love gives you
the first taste of satisfaction.
You feel perfectly satisfied-
as you are,
and in that state of satisfaction
God comes in.

You are open to God
only when you are in a state of contentment.
The door only opens then-
for God to step in.

The discontented man
is so obsessed with himself,
that he remains closed.
Even if God knocks on his door,
he cannot hear it,
there is so much noise inside him.

But when one is contented
there is silence, deep silence inside him.
Everything is quiet,
then one starts hearing
the whispering of God-
from everywhere.

The cuckoo calls from the distance-
and He has called you.
In laughters and in tears
only He is felt then.
Then He is day and He is night.
Then He is life and He is death.

The wind blowing
through the pine trees-
it is God whispering.
The river running
towards the ocean,
and the sound of the water-
it is God’s song.
