Let Us Leave Shadows and Live

From shallows of a crowd, deep down to bone, Leaving shadows of life let’s live our own. Ocean of emptiness roars deep in eyes, Drowning our personal pain let’s give as grown. Buds in blossom bloom, fragrance fresh in air, Far from the reign of thorns in buds’ realm roam. Mirrors are lined up on every four side, Masking face one late eve, let’s play unknown. Let there be reign of mirage all around, Prone to give more, let’s receive less alone. _________________________________________ Inspired by a Gujarati poem by Prafulla Vora Ghazal |06.01.2022|

Enjoyed your magnificent Ghazal, Dear Poet. The title itself is so deep - love every line of your brilliant creation. It's a great privilege to be able to read other languages, and get inspired. sending to my faves. Best wishes ~ Mala

My not responding to poetry of my poet friends might have perplexed or even annoyed them, but I often do read and appreciate their poems. Yours too dear friend. Thanks for the kind words.
