God, Make My Single Tear Flow Along With The Rain
God, make my words a firefly
God, make my conversation a butterfly
God, make my footsteps a path
God, make me fragrance of flowers
And blow me in the air.
God, smile like jasmine
God, make my eyes poems
God, make my poems a flock of birds
Flying to far away lands!
God, mother's tears are priceless
Preserve them in misery's locker
God, my portrait lying on the mantelpiece
Of time is dying
Decorate it in my children's hearts
God, a girl has made a place in somebody's heart
Let him too live in her heart
God, women's bodies are becoming barren
Like heaps of sand
God, let them be fertile like harvests of wheat!
God, a tear from somewhere in my childhood
Is floating in both my eyes
God, make it flow now along with the rain
God, make my single tear flow along with the rain
God, cry and make me cry!
Naseer, its a very well crafted poem; in the first stanza you delight with beautiful images of nature, express your aspirations. in the second, the mood changes, scene shifts to contemporary society, you lament change in values. third ends in a prayer to God- let's cry together over what has been lost with passage of time, for there is no one else to share the grief with. a very touching poem. Regards Mamta
Thank you so much for this wonderful prayer, if that is the right word. John
wonderful feelings captured in this poem.
The beauty of your poem with all its glorious imagery of nature is a heartfelt poem, a prayer to God, to become aware and grieve. It is wonderful how you have tied up the title with the last stanza and this is such a creative poem.
