Your Godliness Not Yet Revealed Poem by Afzal Shauq

Whenever...
my heart wishes to fly
my hands like wings
begin to fly...

Like blowing air
moving them faster
higher in the sky
fly..fly...fly

the last of my will spent
my wings become stiff
darkness covers my eyes
I am stalled...

Everything before me fades
deprived of feelings
I become static in space
So I pray...

Almighty God
far off this place you live
away from human existence
in the centuries of journey
the distance between unending
Though the closer I strive
Your Godliness yet revealed.
