Fire

Posted: Jun 29, 2008 Sun 11:32 pm     Views: 222    Interacts: 8

Lo! the fire's
here to emerge
from the womb
of time, where
hatred and contempt
in a warm coact,
decided its fate.

Don't leave it grow
wild, for it can
turn us all into dust
and ashes.
Let us break it bit
by bit, and dissipate
it in the colder voids
of our hearts, for
the much needed warmth.

So very thank you sir! Along with shobig and Nikhat's encouraging and worthy comments I do appreciate your thoughtful remarks and consider them revitalizers for my hopes that sometimes stumble along. I like your positivity and the creativity you exude in your poetry. Together we will strive to do our bit to change the existing gloom into something of a gleam for our downtrodden masses.

Go well!

dear Optimistic - I have believed in the strength of human spirit to rise from ashes - but to ashes they do fall - at every turn of history - to me it seems we are going through that turn - I see a big calamity coming towards humanity - which may be avoided only if we collectively change - but do we see any signs of change - people still arguing trifles - and not believing - then LOVE will come and slap them to naught (may be sifar - not nothing - re: Shobig's question in my poem)and then a new begining - but all our thoughts NOW - what we write, what we speak, what we think, what we do, are contributing to that stream and therefore we must stay optimisitc and contribute - we do not know the secrets of heavens and earth - we just do our part - and it is pain of beating hearts like yours which will renew this earth ... and I appreciate Shobig's advices - kind and supporting and honestly helping ...
And Nikhat's thoughts - deeply feeling and capturing those vibrations ... God bless

Thanx Nikhat. Whatever, the fire's here and extending its ugly jaws to engulf the very body politic of Pakistan. It of course is a sad reality that our very own establishment is blowing it grow wider.

kya karain?
kuch kiya jaye na socha jaye!

Very nice Aadil, beautiful
I feel sad as I feel that this fire of time is not wild but somehow knows its direction. i feel since ages it has failed to reach the cold hearts, but kept on smouldering the sensitive burning souls. somehow...

Thanks shobig. The thought actually is vented here as it came without any prior pre-writing or thinking. Will definetly give a second look not only to this but most of my work previously posted over here. Your guidance and critical reviews are very much appreciated.

Great thought Aadil! Could have been expressed in a better way though with a little more work. Good attempt nevertheless.
