Have We Met Before? Poem by Rehan Hyder
Have We Met Before?
Perhaps you are:
My tomorrow,
Tomorrow …….
which is mine
Forever
Yes! Till today.
Like some childhood
Dream
Of some faraway
Land
A song of some
Unheard language
Song - whose lyrics
I could have never known
But whose tunes
Could always drench
My arid emotions
And stir the
Seedling of
Hope.
(A seedling
torn twixt
death & deliverance) .
Tiding of sun & rain
But you can’t be
My tomorrow
For tomorrow can be
unreal.
You are not
(For I exist)
Perhaps you are
my dreams lost:
whose search has
taken me,
To every feeling
heart
Whom I have looked
for
in fleeting sand
of hour glass
(From eon to eon)
But no! you’re not
Even my dream
I mislaid it
Few centuries ago.
If hopes dreams
rhymes and times
Contains you not
You must be
Silence:
A celestial melody
A heart felt prayer,
A nexus ‘tween
Imperfection of reality
And perfection
Of dreams
A whisper of a melody Among pounding drums A lilting tune As low as a hum A hint of a symphony Meant to be heard The sweetest notes As pure as a jay bird Little person, Come bask in my sun Ill show you the heavens One by one There it starts My tune reached your heart Beating in time You can’t tell them apart :) loved your poem
It's like a I can hear the melody when I read it... lovely poem.
I loved this Rehan, it has such a dream-like quality to it. I especially like the idea of a song in some unheard oflanguage - I can't help but imagine what it might sound like. Hugs Anna xxx
'Whom I have looked for in fleeting sands of hour glass (From eon to eon) ' What (who) is it that we search for from eon to eon? Are we searching for our own awareness, that evasive something that eludes us yet pull us ever onward? A deeply introspective piece, Rehan.
