A while goes silent <br />Wounds deep and the Messiah <br />The evening had seen <br />Heavy pour of rain <br />The reverberation of pain <br />Moist cold wind to the heart <br />Like the cypress standing tall <br />And still <br />Absorb the air and all nourishment <br />From the generosity of your love <br />Neither happy nor sad <br />Floating on the wood plank <br />Of life <br />Smoothly sailing time <br />This direction is towards you <br />Indifference towards many things <br />Perfection is when nature <br />Neither laughs nor cries <br />On the bridge stone <br />In my loneliness <br />I see your presence <br />Even with my eyes closed <br /> <br />Islamabad <br />26/2/2010<br /><br />Sadiqullah Khan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/on-the-bridge-stone/
