We were present anyhow on the fine place
(It was an International Forensic Team) ,
Mountains were sympathetic to us.
At the stony place it was an evil juxtaposition
Of little fertile lands;
There grew poppies…oh the mothers of opium,
Amid the light breeze at the sinking sun
The place seemed to kiss me-
I arranged to be solitary and managed….
Suddenly I wonder!
Who is coming from the top of the mountain
Clad in white and reflecting lights?
A fragrance also filled the air…He comes and
comes too close to me …my mortal tongue ceased…
The ever and eternal young boy begins-

'I was sitting beside this mountain,
Fragrance of poppies make me too about to sleep
I tried to write a poem as I used to do but
ON THE DIVINE DAY no subject came.

I watch to the front...to the elusive horizon,
Grey was the light.
I try to look up to the sky,
Blue was covered by light cloud.
Vaguely I observe a black bird was flying madly.
Alas! yet no subject came...

Suddenly I heard a sharp and shrill sound of siren;
Increasing gradually...
I run and run..and run.
The sound seemsto catch me with love.
No subject I need....no poetry...

Run run and run and I run blindly...but.
That mortal tragedy brought me the fortune to
Enter into the Eden, the God's evergreen Garden....

Now frequently I come to this place
To have a Ariel look and read my poem I engraved
By my Running FOOT-PRINTS, the poem my hand
failed to write to your false paper.


Goodbye my salaried and edited ex-friend.....'

After the tiny transitory trance I feel as if
I was on a divine trip as
Mohammod's(peace and blessing be on him) Miraj.

Thanks.... when I wrote this poem it seemed to me as if I was in a vision and the victim boy was infront of me.... tears of joy came to my eyes when I finish it.... I was in my way to school and at the bus stop I go to a Internet cyber café first and after writing and submitting within 15 minits I catch the next bus... and I was little bit late to join my school.....

• WHEN I LOOKED for definition of “allution” [from your Poet’s Note], I found this. See the spelling. This is a new word for me. follow Dictionary.com allusion [uh-loo-zhuh n] • Examples • Word Origin See more synonyms on Thesaurus.com noun 1. a passing or casual reference; an incidental mention of something, either directly or by implication: The novel's title is an allusion to Shakespeare. 2. the act of alluding; the making of a casual or indirect reference to something: The Bible is a fertile source of allusion in art. 3. Obsolete. a metaphor or parable. Origin of allusion Some other observations on your Foot-Prints poem: I am rereading the poem now. It is more understandable (for ME) after reading the poet’s note. Thanks. “I try to look up the sky” …………..i would add “to” or “at” after “up”. But if I were about to look for a word in a dictionary, I might say: “I am looking up how to spell a word.’ I might say “I am looking up the street ………or up the woman’s dress………or up above my head, but I would not say “I am looking up the sky “ …. Or “up the tree” [well, maybe]….or “up the car” [unless I meant that e.g. I was looking up information about a car]. But I might say “looking up the pipe”. LANGUAGE IS WAY TOO COMPLICATED! ! ! ! ! I was taught the story of The Garden of Eden (not Eaden) . “To have a ariel look….” …………I would use “an”, not “a” in front of “ariel” …………..and here we spell it “aerial”. [well, I didn’t really know how to spell it! ] Maybe in India, U.K. etc. it is spelled “ariel”. follow Dictionary.com aerial [adjective air-ee-uh l, ey-eer-ee-uh l; noun air-ee-uh l] • Examples • Word Origin See more synonyms on Thesaurus.com adjective 1. of, in, or produced by the air: aerial currents. 2. inhabiting or frequenting the air: aerial creatures. 3. operating on a track or cable elevated above the ground: an aerial ski lift up the mountainside. 4. reaching far into the air; high; lofty: aerial spires. 5. partaking of the nature of air; airy. 6. unsubstantial; visionary: aerial fancies. 7. having a light and graceful beauty; ethereal: aerial music. noun 11. a radio or television antenna. 12. Football. forward pass. This story is a bit surrealistic*** for me. ***not sure if “surrealistic” is quite the word I want. Full Definition of surrealistic 1. 1: of or relating to surrealism 2. 2: having a strange dreamlike atmosphere or quality like that of a surrealist painting I like the poem, though I like, even better, poems I don’t have to wonder much about. The video I think caused me to have to deal with an ad video which came on after your video. And sometimes when a poem has a video, I find the page switches to another poem page when the video finishes. Both the video and the still photo make me think you are trying to make some statement about war, as I believe your “subject (of poem) ” line mentioned. Yes, it mentioned “art, terrorism, warfare”.

inner awakening is needed for all, to some it happens by incidents, to so some it happens naturally, to some it was not realized at all, your thoughts are spontaneous and superfluous, the more you open your heart, the fountain gushes priceless words, keep sharing, thanks for the invitation, read my works too, dear
