For My Mother... Poem by Usman Hanif

The eerie light in my sombre life
Bring me the mysteries of afterlife
One mystery is up ahead
still unsolved...
'tis the light!
'tis the light that heals,
that leads to eternity...
'tis the insignia of selfish, selfless love!
It lies in my hands but unsolved
The hand which I'd have to let go
And the secrets of the love hidden
Would be kept hidden...
And the light would keep on gleaming
The light, so sublime emits from...
From my treasure, my mother...
