Luminous Boat Poem by Ahmad Shiddiqi

Luminous Boat



silken sky flashes
reddish sea yearns
whose icy currents
ebb to humble love

O young voyagers!
send your all charms
sail, sail to the edge
never, never surrender

your hearts, your hopes
your prayers, your joys
your all faith triumphant
are on this sailing boat

(dedicated to a great poet at poemhunter, Winnie Angel)
