What I Need Poem by Akhtar Jawad
What I Need
Beauty is scattered,
Even in a particle,
Below my boots,
What I need,
Just the eyes,
That can see.
Pretty is the man,
Even my enemy,
Critical and violent,
With a reason or not,
What I need,
Just to react friendly.
Lovely is someone,
That hates me always,
Condemns all my acts,
What I need,
Just a loving heart,
That can love him, too.
Light is flowing,
In all the rivers,
Seen or unseen,
What I need,
Some courage to swim,
May be it water or the fire!
The ocean is the same,
From East to West,
Different names at places,
What I need,
To fall in the ocean,
And forget myself.
Nice piece of work. Thanks for sharing this poem with us. E.K.L.
beautiful...need to find the charm around us................
Beauty is scattered all around! What we need are eyes to enjoy it and hearts large enough to accommmodate both friends and enemies! We can hardly change others, but we can always change ourselves if we are determined! Lofty thoughts, Akhtarji!
Light is flowing, In all the rivers, Seen or unseen, What I need, Some courage to swim, May be it water or the fire! A sufi like views, liked it.
