Lines would not cross <br />Monastic living has all submissions <br />Would the spirit of human a virtue <br />Or evil subdued <br />With painful ritualism of pardons <br />For being in the world <br />Consciousness has burdens <br />Let with slowness of silences <br />The dialogue with the divinity <br />Is either prayer or anguish of pain <br />The resolved tangle <br />Spirited voluptuousness <br />Let the hell burn the hysteria <br />Craft they say <br />Spirit I call <br />The echoes were dead <br />There were so many children <br />Murmuring chants <br />On the dry branches of trees <br />Snakes were coiled some hanging <br />This vigil has not seen <br />Winged fairies yet <br /> <br />Islamabad <br />7/6/2010<br /><br />Sadiqullah Khan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/craft-and-spirit/
