Reconciliation Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Reconciliation

Rating: 5.0


It's not you alone,
its me, too,
we both have been lost,
in a desert of time,
how the differences were created,
how the distances increased,
neither you know it,
nor I know it,
we have been walking,
we have been talking,
with a hand in hand,
on the endless sand,
too hot in noon,
but pleasant in moon,
why came that oasis,
where a fork was there,
you wanted to go on a way,
that leads to life,
I wanted to go on a away,
that leads to love,
life lacked love,
and love lacked life,
why life and love,
couldn't reconcile,
couldn't walk together,
neither you know it,
nor I know it,
we are still together,
passing our days and nights,
keeping a distance.
Really it's me?
Really it's you?
Perhaps not,
where is that knot?
sleeping so close and adjacent,
how much we are now tangent!
I miss you,
do you miss me?
We are punished in a land of ego,
can't we become the return convicts?
I am still vulnerable,
Rewind, replay, and reconcile.

Not you alone both of we have lost. But we can regain it soon. Reconciliation matters a lot for union memory. Wise sharing and thoughtful poem....10

Awesome poetic work, everybody wish a second chance to rectify, reconcile and correct the past. Very well said Bhaijaan..... We are punished in a land of ego, can't we become the return convicts? I am still vulnerable, Rewind, replay, and reconcile.

**~I am an advocate for second chances. Few tho they are, if one gets an opportunity, it must be given full heart
