Grandeur Of Life! ! ! Poem by Shahzia Batool
Grandeur Of Life! ! !
When pearls of tears
linger on long lashes,
look like dew-drops on flower-petals
glittering in the sun,
then -and only then
the gloom looks great;
When heart feels fresh
and mind bears glimpse
or holds the treasure of memories
of the departed ones,
then-and only then
the pain seems superb;
When a bruised heart smiles
and this smile creates hues,
bright more than the colored stripes
of the magical rainbow,
then-and only then
the glee looks grand;
and these facts form
the grandeur of life! ! !
A bit nihilistic and steeped in sorrow where the poet could easily have put a positive twist to it. Existential negation and finding solace in misery may be a decent into pathos and gloom bordering on Dickinson tinges. We may get our catharsis from Tess, yet our lives are as tangible as the apple we bite into, and maybe just as satisfying … if we choose to look for it. But I liked the flow and the content, you have managed to infuse in it a heaviness that we all carry around and call it destiny. ***
Such are the things that make life so delicate, and thus precious.
reality is, people judge...working through how to present ourselves to others is its own self battle. I feel you in this write today. Love this one as i am relating today thanks
Singing of grandeur of sorrow, this soft and mellow piece touches the heart.
Smile in tears! The presence of darkness makes the light covetable and brighter! If we can view our tribulations from this angle, life becomes easier and more pleasurable! ! A Great poem with great comparisons and poignancy of feelings! !
This one piece is a highly educative one indeed. Time and again we are reminded of all such requisites for leading a balanced life but often do not track them much. It is a poem that glorifies pleasures of pains embedded to our life`s phases.

It takes a lot of guts for a bruised heart to smile. when such smile is compared to the colors of the rainbow which is formed at the back dropp of teary drops of water, it seems to be so beautiful... very nice and well written! 10
