Through

Dedicated to Mafaz Mohideen, who helps me find and re-find myself

Surrender

The far-reaching glances

Abandon

The want of there

Envelop,

The sweet traces

And look

At a desire untold.

The dew collects

In

The meadows.

And the shimmer

It distracts

From secrets that

Lie still

Out

Of reach.

But linger

Just a while.

Gaze through the twilight

Approaching.

Love in the midst

Unstopping

And hold

That which you foraged

And found.

It will all rise

To the moment of a traversing

That which is yours

Shall be

Clear even

In

The dark and

Out

Beyond the rushes.

So stay for a moment

Fight for an eternity

And come.
