God! Poem by Shahzia Batool

God!

Rating: 4.3


With rest misplaced, and
peace missing too,
dreams lie floating on the restless surfs,
hoping for a glance of mercy;

despite Your blessings countless
You guided me, and held me strong
I wonder why then I stay at a loss
God!
you help me fight back the evil that tempts
the evil that lasts with me
as a constant though unwanted companion

God!
empower me
despite swimming skilfully
the waters threaten and victimize me
waves and ripples know me not
what is this sense of alienation?

You have given me a deep sight
bless me with an insight too

God!
enrich me
despite keeping a stern eye
on my mistakes
serious losses occur
sometimes reparable, sometimes irreparable

God!
guide me, bless me, forgive me

There are moments in life when we feel lost, helpless and alone. Even when surrounded by blessings many, such negative emotions can drown us at weak moments which is only a fleeting illusion. With resilience, we can soon spring back to our happy and contented self, if we abide in His providence and mercy! Hope for the best! Hope like the gleaming taper's light Adorns and cheers our way.....Let your prayer be heard! ! An excellent write! !

Two words.. Saying all. God. And Please. A poem from the depth of your heart. It occurs as 'jawar bhata'. I felt it, because otherwise the title of the poem would not be 'God'. I think, in strong feelings you just have no other title to choose. Best wishes aapi.

A fervent cry to God to lead through the rough water of life.The fear, despite the many benevolence of God, that she might still falter; haunts the poet.A sense of submission to God pervades the whole poem.
