The wind can blow anywhere any-time <br />straight or zigzag, with or without murmur <br />the river can flow whenever it wished <br />but you told me never to come harming my career <br />that’s the thing that is there <br />which I see in the flights of your husky voice <br />in the colours of your rainbow eyes <br />by which I vie against the beauty of <br />sunsets as well as sunrise <br /> <br />with a bag full of it <br />I can stay way miles after miles <br />Cross over thirty oceans and jump down from the top of the hill <br />Like a cactus I can remain alive without rain <br />in the wilderness of life it’s a fresh air to me like the morning <br /> <br />That’s the spirit <br />Which I get after eating up the fruit <br />Which you inject in that tree <br />Under whose shadow <br />I work I sweat <br />Nourishes the plants of hope <br />So strong so lovely..<br /><br />Abdul Wahab<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/that-s-the-thing-that-is-there/
