Poems
Sep 2013
Under the Karachi sky.
I found no fault in the stars
but I did find some in the design
and with a bit of authority in grasp
I changed how they aligned
Clear nights of June raised
doubts over observations
Fates and destinies changed
along the course of constellations.
Witnessing the miracle
losing clue as what to believe in
and the spawns of science
losing all will to seek reason.
On that night of wonder
the ships reached their haven
guided by the stars that kept
changing their placement.
And the night for once
was brighter than the day.
Much to the travelerβs delight
who tread along the lit ways
Happiness was welcomed
sorrow was eradicated
On the brook of hope
Optimism cascaded.
Families reconciled
as stars at distance burned
fathers greeted with open arms
their sons, as they returned.
What I saw I couldn't believe
Far from what I could imagine
what was believed as impossible
on that night was bound to happen.
Written on the 5th of August. The night I fell in love with the sky.
