A Spectacle At Loftiness Poem by Muhammad Shanazar

A Spectacle At Loftiness



I stand here in the Pleasure-world,
There stretches all-around
A galaxy of spectacles,
And these spectacles bear
Prints of sights of those onlookers
Who have departed from here,
And now are dwellers
Of the world across the sky,
Wherefrom no one returns.
They have departed,
Imprinting on spectacles,
Their tales of being here;
I too have come here,
To write my own tale but where should
I inscribe my impressions,
All spectacles carry
The dust of eyesight of those
Who have travelled onward.
I long to become eternal
By signing with the eyesight
Such a virgin spectacle,
As it should not have caught earlier
The eyes of someone else.
