Seeking Heaven Poem by Naveed Akram

Seeking Heaven



Do not seek me with the heaven of seeking,
Do not falsely associate partners with my God.
I have a secret of the abundant grace involved
In the attraction and repulsion of the electron.
One atom is enough matter to direct the creation,
Why do you speak of wonders above the heavens?
Take care, strangers are strangers, and you are one,
So take the cautions of this world as the molecules
Rotate and react, fully and partly, justly and brightly.

What did you find in my eyes and bones when seeing me?
You watch my every movement, you see the oblivion
In my brain, the fury of my lungs, a detail of the heart.
This is my hand and my foot, that is the man with soot,
Labour is the axe to grind, paperwork is like poetry,
Willing itself, working itself into a fury of joy.
So take care, and the poets will question and riot
On the territory of the highest men.
One spear is like the foulest weapon of the soul.
