God Bursts Everywhere

God bursts everywhere… Smile of a child Twinkle of an eye Surge of a wave Silence of a grave Bloom of a flower Unseasonal showers Kindness of the heart Purity of a thought Every drop of sunshine Some poems of mine Starkness of the night Forgiveness after a fight God bursts everywhere… In the green of the woods In the ‘G’ of the good Moments of fear Heads bowed in prayer Every bite of chocolate Ghalib’s* every couplet Serenity of soul Oneness of a goal Bonding with friends Concern of parents Sweat of toil Whiff of wet soil God bursts everywhere… Tears of solitude Courage of fortitude Vibrance, music, words In organized and absurd Dreams, hopes, love, compassion… Humming tunes and quiet conversations, Even after my days are done This poem will forever go on A verse could be added each day Because God bursts everywhere. *Mirza Ghalib was a great urdu poet.
