Tahera Mannan Poet Rubaiyat

The Immortal Spirit

Deep into the night
Sitting under soft light
My eyes weary and tired
Waiting for the morning bright

I waited for him to come
My senses all numb
The fire grown cold
Life about to succumb

Softly the eyelids met
Like hands folded in debt
The dust flew into the air
When my head met the net

In a dream I saw his face
My lips muttered grace
The immortal spirit is alive
When my eyes met his gaze

I live within you
His warm voice grew
A light in my bosom shone
When my mind the meaning knew

Strength flowed into my heart
I got ready to start
A new day with his love
Of which I was a tiny part

Joyce Johnson November 14, 2010 at 9:13 PM What a sweet poem and great submission. I am glad to read it. Thank you for your very kind words on my poem "My Dream" Love, Joyce

Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen November 14, 2010 at 1:22 AM This is beautiful poetry, Tahera. It describes the way I feel when I know that God lives and has sent the Holy Spirit, like the Immortal Spirit, to comfort and guide me through life until I reach my own immortal state. I like the simplicity and earthliness of the poem that seems simple, but says so much about spirituality...at least to me. Thanks for sharing. Lovingly, Dane Ann
