Prayer In Space Gaols Poem by Naseer Ahmed Nasir

Prayer In Space Gaols

Rating: 5.0


O God!
I'm but a moment in your endless millennia
My life span is but a shred of your continuum
Since times immemorial
The blue sky signifies the holiness
Of your sleep
You sit in the very heart of the night
Illumining the eternity of stars
Sounds are but the seranata of your silences
You are the ocean of lyrics
Antidote to the grief stretched from end to end
But the fate of my earths is the gaol of space
Set them free, O Lord
Fill the darkness of stellar distances with light!
Make me limitless!


(1993, Translated by Dr. Satyapal Anand)

Your spiritual insight is such a creed that is reaches with such distance across all lands and oceans, your words are such a blessing to the eyes and to the mind but most of all the heart and soul. Thank you

What an amazing spiritual poem! Some of my favorite images here are these: 'The blue sky signifies the holiness Of your sleep' And 'Sounds are but the seranata of your silences You are the ocean of lyrics' Also: 'Fill the darkness of stellar distances with light! Make me limitless! ' the ending is esp. powerful.
