Wonder Poem by Lubna Hazeem

Oh, licking off the pouring drops
Slipping through the evening walls
Pointing towards the angle of spite
Or a distorted look on your weary eyes

You think you've got it figured right
Everything you've got to lead a comfortable life
But with a disciplined tongue you block your thoughts
And begin to wonder why it's been such a dreary walk

Oh, you wonder, you wonder
In the depth of complete surrender

What if this isn't the right way?
What if this isn't the right place?
What if this isn't the right moment?
How could you've possibly known it?

It's a wonder for sure
Even if it is a little absurd

I've been living my life alone
Searching though i've found no home
Everything i do and everything i don't
Is something i end up doing on my own

And i wonder, i wonder
In the depth of complete surrender

What if there's still some hope
In a world with no straight roads
What if it's something i don't know
Or something i've never seen before

A vision or a blur
A vision of comfort
Your life's a vision so pure
Your life's a wonder for sure
