A glimpse at the ocean
I witness sovereignty of swinging souls
That scatter sorrow along thy bored bodies
Hail the hovering of silky souls
Squeezing space and sequence of time.
Bodies surrender,pave the ride
To such mad melody of thy souls.
I can fix dwindling dreams
Heal horrors of history
Cluster bleeding feathers of buried birds…
Never blame terrifying tunes of steady souls;
Uprooted,unsettled in glittering garments.
I can see sunshine along thy burdened soul
It stretches at distance of stuttering springs
And still gazing at the seventh sky
Above thy heavenly hopes…
