Listen to poem:

Until

Until we reach  
The definition of eternity 
We are one step short  
of being a whole 
Holistic in nature. 
Universe. 
 
A Mother is walking the child. 
In gentle, softer rays of sunlight. 
The journey began many days ago. 
For the enormity  
to reach an eternity  
with fortitude, one day. 
Footsteps. 
 
A Lamp of the sky.  
A shining star. 
Burning inside to enlighten 
The farthest corner of the horizon. 
Among ashes, smoke and  
volatile realities of life,  
we hold hands 
As we held each other in chaos, in tears.  
O God! Grant thy mercy.  
Humility.  
 
Accept us in sublimation. 
Have thy divine grace to gather us in courage  
With each divine verse of the soul, within and beyond. 
When Words surpass words, 
Colors define purity,  
Where we knew purity  
in more eloquence than white. 
 
Tired eyes gaze to find  
an ant, a butterfly  
or a bird, ahead  
soaring higher than the fleet.  
Reminding you of a serene stanza.  
Once meaningful. Once alive. 
In this world, none is without glory 
in a tiny little mind’s hands, virtue returns home 
A home, happened so long ago. Desolation. 
Personification. 
 
In our humble hands,  
God speaks,  
Where each word hides our tears,  
frozen somewhere in pain.  
In the awe of pain. 
Holistic in nature.  
 
The World means far more than 
A news-space in alienation,  
happening within, and beyond. 
Like others, we are also the soul. There. 
A sound, with every echos of harmony in gratitude. 
Amen.
