Young Poem by Ahmad Shiddiqi

Young

Rating: 3.5


(dedicated to L Árc-en-Ciel, a great rock band from Japan)

face your days
spread your wings
abundance of energy

rise your hands
meet your chances
abundance of synergy

sing your songs
kiss beloved ones
abundance of melody

nothing can harm you
no one can hurt you
can we follow you?

nothing can fool you
no one can push you
can we go with you?

nothing can deny you
no one can defeat you
can we accompany you?

fearless
never ending feelings
forever, wherever

reckless
never ending romance
forever, whatever

endless
never ending ideas
forever, whenever

unlocked
unblocked
luckily young

unchained
unmasked
happily young

unworried
undoubted
proudly young

young at heart
young at soul
young at all

young in the beginning
young in the middle
young in the end

young
equal to
courage

young
equal to
freedom

young
equal to
the truth

grab your dreams
fill inside your hearts
never surrender your days

smile to every creatures
give them all your charms
never leave us alone, brothers

inspire us with your daring tunes
hug us tight with your joyous harmonies
never give up your strength to dark horizons

Well said, sir. Many young people, as we know, struggle with their emotions, are still maturing, often working while going to school, dating and are trying to deal with all the temptations around every corner. Your words are an inspiration. Should be required reading in every school in every country. Thank you for sharing your amazing insight and wisdom. Carol

Exellent poem. Its stanzas brought the image and feelings of when I was younger to the fore front of my mind. The memories and emotions of youth are strong and you managed to tap it so that anyone who reads this poem will remember their own childhood. Bravo.
