Tahera Mannan Poet Didactic

My Climb

God in his divine divinity
I saw in my dream’s reality
My heart filled with submission
No thoughts entered this finality

My wandering heart found a well
Where my immense thirst could dwell
The place of holy suspension
No time for pride to swell

My darkest and deepest fear
Which I held to myself as dear
With expanding dimensions
Saw godliness getting near

The still point on the wheel of time
About which poets wrote in rhyme
I now accept with absolution
Getting ready for my climb

John Freeman April 9, 2011 at 10:35 AM 'No time for pride to swell' Yes pride within one's self is the downfall of molded dreams and aspirations, we do have a special place of holy suspension, where our power of love's essence has store. Congratulations on a great rendition of my contest theme, Tahera. Agape, Moses

Andrea Dietrich November 20, 2010 at 8:42 PM Hey, Tahara, I really like how you concluded this with the inspirational words of the last two lines. I think that was a cool idea you had to change the ghazal a bit. I've only tried one ghazal and they are very difficult. LUv ya, andrea
