aatmaa he said <br />your soul <br />it must awaken <br />it sleeps the sleep of the untried <br /> <br />I unhitch my sari <br />lift its end over <br />to cover my head <br /> <br />there must be some truth <br />in what he says <br />he is the guru <br /> <br />I the creature <br />of questions <br />without answers <br /> <br />I bow low in reverence <br />and know <br />that only my humility <br />is the answer <br />to a question I never asked...<br /><br />Famida Basheer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/aatmaa/
