Missing those stolen days of charm
Like the deserts miss the rain
For the sake of shattered hope
Wading through these oceans of pain
Traveling an eternal journey
That started as a conclusion of disaster
Walking through the depths of agony
Yet going on and on faster
A walk to eternity
Being forced to go on
Hoping for a ray of light to appear
Through a solid wall
Knowing there’s no dodging path
No escape from the ironical bar
Feeling only shadows surround
Seeing only particles of dust by far
Looking for light through forbidden bars
Crying with hysterical tears
Pondering through the thoughts of neglect
Trying to overcome my fears
Looking through shattered glass for hope
Yet achieving at all, no gain
Blindly sipping tears of salt
As the cure lies in the pain
I wrote this poem around 2006. But, even today, I recall these words in times of grief. May Allah make it easier for those who are suffering today! Ameen.
