O reddish cloud! <br />in morning June <br />pour some waters <br />to this dry ocean <br /> <br />O ripe sky! <br />in evening March <br />pour some milk <br />to this empty valley <br /> <br />O young dove! <br />on golden tree <br />grab some love <br />from this slippery cliff <br /> <br />O purple cow! <br />on tranquil field <br />catch some care <br />from this hidden bungalow <br /> <br />a light in old fort <br />must be delight <br />a hope on a cup of tea <br />must be enough <br /> <br />a smile in a sparkling store <br />must be for awhile <br />a scent in a friendly tavern <br />must be tuneful <br /> <br />a silken glove on a glassy table <br />must be such tenderness <br />a white compass in a toy box <br />must be such happiness <br /> <br />(dedicated to a great poet at poemhunter, Louis Rams)<br /><br />Ahmad Shiddiqi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-rhyme-of-a-beggar/
