The Seeker [unrhymed Poetenry: Poems Of Ten Lines] Poem by Md. Ziaul Haque

"Where is heaven? " asks the seeker,
Courteously to the saint,
Waiting for the answer the seeker himself replies,
It must be in the sky!

As a blooming flower the saint slowly opens up the eyes,
And says, "The sky is not the same everywhere,
The one you call ‘up' is called ‘down',
By the people living on the other side of the earth! "

The saint closes his eyes and says with a celestial smile,
"The heaven exists and only God knows where! "
