The Word Poem by Tuwa Noor

Look, how the ancient building withstands the winds and the climates!

Moss like weed makes a smear over the walls like a wide spread green carpet,

The plaster of the wall falls off,

The saplings of banyan and ficus spread theirs roots in the cornice of the building,

The cracked chips fall from the roof on the floor.

The red bricks erode by time and make a thick layer of powder

Still the building stands there, does not disintegrate like a defeated man.

Even one or two aerial roots of a banyan tree uprooted by storms,

The plant does not fall down on the ground.



How many stars disappear from the sky everyday silently?

The sky does not cry out with lightning and heavy uproar.



When you tell the story to make the baby sleep,

If one word is dropped somewhere in the story, then he wakes up with open wide eyes.

He wants to listen the whole story again and again from the beginning to the end,

With the full script, not a single letter less.



A tremendous impact happens in case of love!

It's totally and absolutely different.



The way you convey your love to your loved one,

The words pacify the mind and wash away all sorrow and sadness,

How you utter your loving word at morning time, or at noon or at bedtime.

If one of the words you pronounce less

Just a single word less!

The river overflows the dam vehemently and inundates the land

What a catastrophe happens around!



Human being has so much dependency on words!

It seems that the heart will collapse and the breath will stop suddenly in a moment!
