A
Pearl and a Drop of Water
By: Dr. Maqsood Jafri
Like a burning candle I shed tears all the night.
And brighten the dense dark shadows with gleams.
With a passion to decipher between wrong and right.
A visionary poet lives in the hollow shells of dreams.
A pearl is a drop of water poised in shell it is elevated.
It distances itself from the turbulent waves of the sea.
By the benevolent hand of Nature it is carved and created.
After trials and tribulations it presents its' profound plea.
Cognizant of its' vital Self, it recognizes the otherness.
Self- cognizance is the secret of ones' self- sublimity.
For human soul the self is the only gorgeous dress.
No supremacy without the natural boon of creativity.
Be a sheeny pearl and shine in the crown of a king.
Water drop vanishes by the scalding rays of the Sun.
Pearl finds its' safe place in the precious golden ring.
To be a pearl, the watery posture you have to shun.
