Journey Poem by Ahmad Shiddiqi

Journey

Rating: 5.0


new ideas
blue seas
silvery lakes
green forests

new days
brightness
sweetness
togetherness

new nuances
dancing lilies
singing leaves
smiling flowers

new horizons
joking roads
giggling kids
laughing friends

new breathes
talking birds
romancing doves
whispering winds

new sceneries
flowing rivers
running horses
growing grasses

new fragrances
charming gardens
shining mountains
swimming pelicans

new hopes
gracious corn fields
enchanting lagoons
dazzling harp’s sounds

I promise to you, gorgeous
I will borrow your spirit
and will fill it into
my memories

I promise to you, cheerful
I will borrow your love
and will fill it into
my melodies

I promise to you, beauty
I will borrow you joy
and fill it into
my dreams

can I forever go to you
the wondrous landscapes?
can you join me nights and days
through up and down of my life?

can we forever together
thank deeply to who create us?
can I protect and heal you
from human’s selfish ambitions?

(inspired by Frederic Chopin’s Etudes)
