The Conference Of The Whales Poem by Ahmad Shiddiqi

The Conference Of The Whales

Rating: 4.9


over the Mountains of the Ocean
what more miraculous thing may be whispered
that wave which all things melts should soften desires

when the whirlpool doth flow
the Secret was kept tight
that can guide but One

but always have a vast vessel
and just going round and round
and adoring the Mermaids with Love

Since this piece is written in profound thoughts we have to carefully analyze what the author mean in reference to his one step beyond thinking. I mean he's probably a couple of steps ahead of what his readers were about to say. 'Mountain of the ocean' this description is splendid and brilliant. You could imagined a Mt. Everest under the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean. Yeah, right! This work is full of imagination.10+

The Blue Whale is the largest animal to have inhabited this planet, I am in awe of these large magnificent creatures, In my life I just wish I could witness seeing this magnificent plaget, If we allow these animals to become extinct on our watch, Then we are stupid and not worth a mention on the record of eteternity
