In the Fields of eyes
I planted some dreams
Watered them ,with my "hard work" streams
Used my strength as pesticide
Faith was wings and hopes were ride
It took long , did not happen soon
With my will ,i built stair to moon
As I moved , upward the sky
Shine of moon decreased ,don't know why
When i landed ,was no silver land
darkening rocks and howling sand
Asked the moon with shivering voice
Where is glow with what you rise
With your grace what have you done?
Moon said sorry as i have none
Shine i had , was borrowed from sun
He makes me starve and gives me scarce
When doesn't , i cry with stars! (tears)
My Dear Friends ,this poem is dedicated to one of my class fellow from school .
she was unique for me to her habits of borrowing so many stuff from her rich relatives .She felt confident in borrowed clothes and jewelry ,when she expected guest she borrowed even furniture without realizing that people from whom she borrows don't speak respectfully for her .I just got some news about her which is other time story .
Dear fellows please love yourself,love life as it is very short and unpredictable .Ups and downs come to test our strength .Best you have is "you" and Your Confidence so whatever come to you is not enough big to shake your faith in God and in You!
Take Care .God Bless You All!!!
I love the poem. The connection between the moon reflecting light from the sun and borrowing is brilliant.
ReplyDeletethank you Brain!
Deleteafter quite long break i felt to able to write something
What a beautiful and brilliant poem, dearest Baili!
ReplyDeleteThe story behind it sounds intriguing, probably sad.
Thank you for your always inspiring posts. Hugs and blessings! ♥
Thank you for you kind positive words my dear friend Emilia!
DeleteI think it is your generosity to say such lovely words!
It doesn't sound good, what happened to her, judging from your poem!
ReplyDeleteShe is fine dear Christine but still under the process of learning though she apparently has changed in her attitude but need to upgrade it little bit more
DeleteThat's great imagery in your poem! I like it very much even though it has a sobering end.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images, Baili. Take care!
ReplyDeleteI like your poem bout the moon. Yes, we wish for things and when we get them they're not as good as we thought.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully and delicately said, baili! I am so glad you found a poem in your heart. The imagery is simply wonderful. Thank you for sharing your poetry!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful poem and, as usual, your heart is so good.
ReplyDeleteIt is so sad that someone would go down that path. It is also a little sad that others enabled her to go down that pathway.
ReplyDeleteLife is for learning and lessons in truth :-)
I love the poem.xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful poem. Especially in the light of the dedication.
ReplyDeleteMay the light brighten your path.
Your poem is full of feeling. That and the story of your borrowing friend. remind us to look past the shine and see the substance.
ReplyDeleteYou write with deep feeling Baili and your message is clear... don't give all you have to build a dream that may disappoint you in the end, for it may not be what you thought it was. It is better to invest in your relationships with your family and keep your faith in the Lord, those are things that will last for eternity. I hope this poem you wrote about your friend helps to bring perspective to the situation for her. With love and hugs! May the blessings of the Lord be with you :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a very nice and really thought-provoking poem, dear Baili! Beautiful imagery and lovely rhymes! ♥
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a delightful week! Big hugs!
Such a lovely and thoughtful poem, Baili. I do hope your friend is okay.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely poem! And your friend is lucky to have you in her life. You are amazing person and you really inspire me. God bless you! Liuba xxx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful poem Baili. :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely poem, Baili! It reminds us that shining objects are sometimes not worth seeking! You are always inspiring, my friend. xo Karen
ReplyDeleteBeautifully worded. This poem is so meaningful and wonderful! It's such a shame about your friend, and hopefully she will discover that materialism isn't where the true beauty lies in life, and that there is so much more.
ReplyDeleteHi Baili, Sure like your poem. So true, the moon only reflects light and doesn't make any of its own. Well worth thinking about! Thanks for sharing your blog and your kind comments on mine. Baili, you have an unusually kind and wonderful heart! Always a pleasure to hear from you! Best wishes from Seattle!
ReplyDeleteYou always have such inspiring and very uplifting words, Baili. Thank you for always providing such beautiful words.
ReplyDeleteChoose life. Choose love. Always. :-) Beautiful poem.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from London.
Such a lovely poem! We should live each day fully and with love and appreciation!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit, Baili. As we walk the pass of life we should focus on the things we can change. As a friend of mine says: we do our part, and God will do his.
ReplyDeleteGreetings.
I nominated you for the Mystery Blogger Award.
ReplyDeleteSuch amazing beautiful words!! Yes, live each day to our fullest and make sure to love yourself and others!

ReplyDeleteBaili, I didn't know you wrote poetry. I've always loved to read poems, and have written a couple also. You always write with sincere words and thankfulness. You are such a kind and lovely friend.
ReplyDelete~Sheri
Thank you dear friend for your loving words that are precious to me.
DeleteI wrote poetry in my native language Urdu since I was 6 or 7 years old.
I shared some of my poetic attempts in English time to time on my blog too.
This piece came after quite a long break though
Such a beautiful poem with a profound message. Sometimes we think we are climbing the ladder only to reach somewhere we would never really want to be. After all, all that glitters is not gold. Loved reading it!
ReplyDeleteYou are so brave, Baili! The thought of writing poetry scares me; the thought of writing it in a foreign language is terrifying. And you do it so well: powerful images, perfect words, an important message. I won't forget it! By the way, I love the photoin the sidebar "Fun at Beach" by my son! Sending you love and hugs!
ReplyDeleteA truly lovely post and beautiful poem. Have a lovely day :)
ReplyDeletethat there is so much more.
