My soul flew in immortal memory <br />That last of breath and deep melancholy <br />For when they reach the scene of romance <br />Sway sway leaves of courage for all nature round <br /> <br />I face more smiles and live with more tenderness <br />And moon still be as white as angel's hands <br />Whose hope that love is sure to receive <br />The cherry blossoms bend over <br /> <br />All night long in flood and storm <br />More lively than the king of the bravest <br />Autumn hoards rubies of heart in silence <br />Delighted me to hear thee recite old poems <br /> <br />Within fear that on belief hung glowing <br />To follow desire like a sinking bird <br />Behind I hear the hunter's wishes <br />When fate's puppet was gone <br /> <br />In this blue husk of days <br />Is poured around the faith <br />Melody, Color, and Word <br />Is enough for Humankind? <br /> <br />(dedicated to a great poet at poemhunter, Ms. Maya Angelou)<br /><br />Ahmad Shiddiqi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-soul-flew-in-immortal-memory/
