Missing You Poem by zaheer uddin

I miss you when the earth snuggles
in the folds of the night
, and the stars shine in the sky
when the moon descends in still waters
without a sound, without a stir,
and life pauses to rest-

when souls traverse distant lands
visiting people in their dreams
, and tears flow incessantly
when the reins of the mind are free
from the vigil of thought- -

.I miss you when the night signals the earth to rise
and the dew freshens the face of the flowers
to welcome butterflies,
when church bells echo in the frosty morning
and the call for prayer pierces dawn,
when the sun rays warm the earth, - -

I miss you when the sun is a fiery ball in the sky
and the farmers sow their golden dreams
in the scorching mid noon heat

.I miss you when shadows lengthen
and the birds fly home,
when the sun drowns in the waves
and the stars appear in the sky - - - -
