A visit to a watery grave
*********************
Still my heart is unable to be sure,
If it was a dream or something for real.?
With eyes closed, but sleep a distant away,
I found myself along the shore of a sea.
The enchanting surface of the placid waters,
The enthralling ambiance, and sacred breeze;
The ethereal sight of angelic beauty around,
The celestial aura from the skies to earth.
Believe me ! Believe me !
Oh the people of the world!
I never saw before ! I never saw before !
Filled with ecstatic awe and wonder,
Towards the heavens, I raised my hands;
" Tell me, Tell me, Oh my Guardian Lord!
What it is ? What it is ?" I solemnly cried.
A disembodied voice suddenly came to me.
" I have blessed you with a divine vision,
But you are asking like an ignorant folk,!
It is not the imagery of your dormant mind.
This is the watery grave of my holy bondsman,
Who was buried here in a most unholy way.
He was an epitome of valor and faith,
I have chosen him as a martyr in My ranks,
The Paradise is impatient to have his glimpse,
On Dooms Day, he will rise with an equal grace."
