Poetic Pearls Poem by Khairul Ahsan

Poetic Pearls

Rating: 5.0


A mother knows the pains of child bearing,
The forest knows the pains of weathering,
The pianist knows the pains of producing
The sweetest notes from the saddest feelings.

The gardener knows the pains of fallen leaves,
The lagoon that loses its water in the sand
Knows the pains of desertification.
Sorrow sings in the melancholy of a mourning dove.

The deeper the pain, the sweeter is the song.
The saddest bird croons the sweetest song.
Sometimes, the best of the poetic pearls
Emanate from the tears and pathos of pain.
