Nothing Remains
On Sky shielded palm,
When sun couldn't make rain calm...
Nothing remains so.
At Moon subtle cheek,
When stars wouldn't look that weak,
Nothing remains so.
Over running days...
When strength couldn't make nice hays,
Nothing so remains.
Behind crawling nights...
When nerves wouldn't silent frights,
Nothing so remains.
Around oily shrine...
When deities couldn't dare dine,
So remains nothing.
Far burnt sacrifice-
Baal failed; Elijah suffice,
So remains nothing.
Like ...
Light, In the silence of an empty night
Shines nothing, finds no fault or expose shrines...
Rather enhance fear to ignite lone fright,
Far away ever experienced designs.
Its rays can't burn waiting sacrifices;
Neither could its whisper silent dark sky.
