The True Face Of Life Poem by Afzal Shauq

When I am near the stage
of my desired
completion...
I am worried...

Still all these faces...
Motionless pictures
in this album...
My memories.

Hundreds of faces...
Different in race
Shades of hair
color of eyes

In my confusion...
Faces now roads
Leading on
to perfection.

Miles of stone roads...
Ahead a face
Beautiful...
my beloved face...

All of these faces
helping me on
To reach you
My perfection...

I am still searching
walking onward...
Direction
always the same.

Leading to one place...
Your lovely face...
Face of peace...
Face of my life.
