Whenever, I am surrounded by the complete darkness, br Puzzled mind and blurred eyes, horse with no harness, br Soundlessly I shouted into my eternal world; within me, br "O Lord! Chance me to ride; I am not yet praised to thee, " br br With closed eye, I‘ve seen, candle burning with flame far, br Into deep down within me, awaken hope to win the lost war, br A bright shadow within out pulls me, commands me -walk, br You have not lost your speech and instinct - better you talk, br br Till there is life, death cannot touch you, be bold, br Life is far better than precious diamond, zed or gold br br br br ©2014 Aftab Alam Khursheed.
