Quiet Company

Faisal Shahid September 12, 2006

Tags: age

Frames of life,
Crawling regressively,
Smoothly slowing.

A drop of dew
On the bough,
And a few pebbles;

Setting sun,
Crying seagulls,
Recurring whirls of wind;

The Self
In me
Is aware.

My palpitating
Existence becoming,
Before your gaze, naked.

A vulnerable child;
An obedient
slave;
Rastafarians and raggae.

Oh! How love commands,
And demands,
And then surrenders.
