A Tiny Dream
My dark sky has for me countless bright stars
My dark cloud’s silver line is not that far
Art Thou within me under my dark sheaths?
Be in my heart my Lord my door’s ajar
My parched land thirsts for that shiny life’s
light
The eyes are seeing without any sight
Blind leading the blind into that black pit
Let the filthy black hate-words lose their
might
We’ll cover the dark sky with astral dream
Let our thoughts join hands and forcefully
stream
Thou be our Pilot and steer the ship right
The dark world shall display one tiny gleam

this read like a prayer... soulful
ReplyDeleteI agree with Wolfrosebud's comment. A lovely prayer. To be a light in a dark world is a worthy prayer indeed!
ReplyDeleteWhoa, quite a prayer warrior you are! Creative and excellent rhymes! Very strong words.
ReplyDeleteuplifting !
ReplyDeleteIt is good that even in the darkest of nights there are bright stars to show us the way! You followed the form VERY well, Sumana.
ReplyDeleteA lovely and meaningful verse Sumana ~ I specially like:
ReplyDeleteWe’ll cover the dark sky with astral dream ~
I like that even in the darkest moments you can see bright stars and silver lines. You have really written a poem with spiritual meaning and your fourth lines seem to tie up each stanza, as it should be.
ReplyDeleteBe in my heart my Lord my door’s ajar... what a beautiful line...
ReplyDeleteour darkest times carry a speck of hope, a glimmer of light.
This could be a prayer.. but I think it's also a plea for humanity against all the dark things humans do.. at the end we might have to solve our own problems
ReplyDeletejoining hands and steer that ship in a good way... that's my wish as well...and that all our tiny dreams grow to one big one...
ReplyDeleteThat is a nice thought. The night is never dark when seeing the moon and the stars. It is universal and profound wisdom you express. To the day, man is the night.
ReplyDeleteOne small gleam in darkness - often enough to help us find our way. Nicely penned, Sumana!
ReplyDeletenice bit of a hymn here...its good to leave that door ajar...
ReplyDeleteand to be led by the light as well....steer well lord,
steer well...
Now this felt like a rabaiyat! Well done - I like its ambiguity - it could be in any time - and its message is full of hope.
