Come..... Poem by Nosheen Irfan

Come.....

Rating: 5.0


Stark, empty days and nights
Sadness has made nests in the trees
Despair is crying in the cuckoo's trill
My vision is stuck within four walls
What color is the sky, I don't know
Where art thou? I don't know
All is amiss, nothing is in place
From the flowers to the dreams
All have lost their color
Come and flow like a stream
To fill the emptiness within me
Come and blow like the breeze
To sweep away the clouds of sorrow.

How to convey the stark, raw and open, deafening silence. A black and white inner and outer world. Those familiar things, the sky, depth, color, joy are all a strange reality in this personal space. Waiting for it to be filled by a breeze, a stream. To be blown awake and submerged once again in a colorful world...............the wait.
