Poems – Shahid Abbas

Freedom

The dove flies on the backstage of the cosmos and raindrops fall on the face of humanity
the blue iris springs from worthy dry soil and the rainbow appears on the roof of faithfulness

The black town shall be cleansed without prejudice for others
the moon in her phases shines though an egoic universe
the sun rises in warming rays
as seasons pass into eternity

Nature’s gifts are for this land
elegant in her caress abundant in grace
the hopeful people glad beneficiaries of her offering
with their confidence vitalized
with dogged determination
and new found enlightenment
the humbled heart believes the darkness will transform itself into the unique shape of light
as they once more start their journey toward freedom……………
