The Rousing Imminence

And the darkness melts away into the morning sky I close my eyes and cherish the light in a pious high, I open up my windows but stand vigilant at my door By the order of courage and honor, I travel to the evermore. I roam the time in search of a Heart of Gold Befriending my fate, I prophesize the mystical of the foretold, I’ve been weathered and bruised, cast away and bluesed But I stand strong to this new beginning, steadfast and mused. (C) Obaidur Rahman. Published in the poet’s debut book of English poetry titled “The Mystic Inferno” in 2012.
