The Flash Poem by Abdul Wahab

Everything seems to be meaningless
The beauty you hold one day it fades away
The house you build crumbles down anyway
Money and power men accumulate in hands
Fingers have gaps and those have wings
Both either slip down or fly away
I search and have been searching
Since I developed inquisitive mind
A thing or two comparatively of longer durability
I went to a desert and asked the sand
The sand smiled at me and said ‘'take my dunes ‘'
Then I went to an ocean vast and asked the tide
The tide rose and looked at me and said ‘'take my foams''
I was tired but yet not spiritless
I climbed and climbed and reached to the cliff
The cliff gave me heard look and said ‘'take away my ice chunk ‘'
This time I really broke
And climbed down with a saddened heart
Suddenly I saw something inside
And it was a flash
Glowed and shined bright
And told me in whisper it is in your mind what you search
In joy I hurried back and sat down to write this poetry.
