<≪≪ Mother Land Poem by Abdul Wahab

<≪≪ Mother Land

Rating: 5.0


Now I sit and wonder
How, for long, she managed to slip away
Though i have been always there, upon her chest
yet she did not catch my eyes
and I,
too careless to realize
her beauty and grace
till yesterday

for a personal reason
a long distance I had to travel
so I got up early
and at the nearest stoppage
I caught a bus
recently bought by the government and colored green
the road was laid like a serpent
smooth and wide
and the car was moving at a full speed
while the mild breeze kissed my face
for the first time I felt her
my mother land
so sweet and fresh
so beautiful and delicate..

the road was empty
and inside the car
travelers were few
whoever were there they were sleepy
but I was fully awake
and through the transparent glass
i was looking out side
it was really great
to see animals
without human interference
in ones and twos
on the fields to graze
at that moment what a delight I got
just to tell you that
I am now out of phrase.
