Abdul Malik Mandani Poet Quatrain

Light the Love Light

Now that the sun is set
The sky is cold and gray,
Should I for a bit rest?
I have come a long way!

The night is grim and still,
The bare trees stand at bay,
And there sits a dark hill –
We wait the break of day.

Oh, I am lost and worn
Yet I must not here stay,
Lug my load and move on
If love just light my way.

The burden of my woe,
Along the thorn-strewn road,
Help me find, where I go,
Kindred souls to unload!
