Poetry In Moon Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Poetry In Moon

Rating: 5.0


The night birds lost millions of generations,
attempting again and again and failing every time,
dreaming to think a poem sitting on the mountains of the moon
dreaming to write a poem swimming in the rivers of the moon
dreaming to recite it and send it on the air at the moon.
And then the kind, beneficent and merciful God
send an Angel with the command to exchange the wings
with the most beautiful poet among the night birds.
The Angel obeyed the command.
And the night bird poet took off the soil
arrived at the moon,
whereat he was astonished to see in the skies
a six times bigger moon,
a thing of unbelievable beauty.
He wrote a poem at this large and lovely moon
but he when tried to recite it he failed
and he could not send the poem on the air
as there was no atmosphere.
With tears in his eyes he came back to the earth
and recited his poem before the Angel.
The Angel smiled and said,
'Do you know you are now at this larger moon?
The most beautiful and the most suitable
for writing a poem,
and,
for sending it on the air.
Here love is not merely a divine feeling,
it can be materialized here in passion and pleasure.'

Again I have liked to read this beautiful poem and I am amazed about your expression and imagination to sit in mountains of moon and writing poems. This poem is really very attractive and reflects your skillful poetic ability. Swimming in the rivers of moon and praising kind, beneficent and merciful God value more in such poetry writing. Angel like you writes the most beautiful and the most suitable poem writing a letter to God. Love in moon materializes with passion and love. But true love still motivates mind towards God. Excellently penned poem this is definitely. Revisiting this I am feeling very glad.
