FULL MOON!

This post is not a poem, just a voice of my heart... Please ignore any shortcomings related to poetic expression in it!
Dedicating to the Full Moon tonight!


Oh you, the brightest spot in the gloomy sky

How many mysteries in your bosom lie?

You have for countless centuries

Guided Man out of his miseries

Nature in your growth and disappearance put

The charms of its most precious assets

These secrets reached Man when

Desired the tides of Life to reach you

Who basked themselves in your Light

Got their Hearts enlightened with Love

Love made the sky gleam with Full Moon

When the clouds of confusion left the blue



Enlightening the night of your Love is your orbit

A symbol of Hope are you, oh Full Moon

All your secrets, confide in us and

Turn our motion like yours, oh Moon

We who look for the footsteps of our beloved

Teach us your way of Living, oh Moon

    @Hayder
    Oh I m glad to know that we share the same feelings about full moon... :)
    and no its not the first, there are a few incomplete ones or the ones which couldn't satisfy me apart from this poem, and I find even this one not upto the mark.
    Thanks for reading the post :)

    Nice rendering and unusual thought.

    In our apparent visible world Full Moon is the loveliest, mysterious and breathtaking sight. But why it is so? I always felt it is because when first man ever set an eye on this majestic sight and was left in an awe and since then billions of eyes that have seen it with same amazement and awe have passed on enormous energy of love and ecstasy to this tantalizing object, which is surrounded by an aura of that admiring and praising eyes who look towards it and are inspired eternally…

    Hello Friends,

    I am rejoicing with this beautiful poetic expression and one with each of you three in the effect. Your description, as well, Dar Sahib, also add to the truth with beauty and the wealth of the heart.

    When I look at the full moon, I often think that this actual sight brings us all together - not only with our historical origins yet also here and now...

    I feel, know, am one with you on the other side of the world and you with me...

    And Allah with us all through His Spirit which contains multitudes of these same qualities you have described...

    What Grace has been given to us in the sky...
    when so much else goes awry.

    @ Akhtar
    The question that why Full moon 'is the loveliest, mysterious and breathtaking sight' was lingering in my mind as well,
    Your beautiful description gives a very true account of the reality.
    I m really grateful to u for being here, and benefiting me from ur words. Thank you very much!

    @ Connie
    Very true,
    The way nature Unites all mankind is beautifully revealed to us by Full Moon...
    And I especially like ur words

    'I feel, know, am one with you on the other side of the world and you with me...'

    Thanks for sharing ur feelings because I believe if feelings are shared they contribute in Uniting the whole mankind under the banner of Humanity, as Human beings mostly share similar feelings. I wonder why only differences are highlighted.

    Thanks for coming and reading the post :)

CREATIVE UNIVERSE!

Universe is a creative product by a Creative Self, and Man is an element having the best sense of creativity among the Creation . Everything in the Universe conceives and creates. Creation adds diversity of form and behavior which enhances the Beauty of the worlds. At sub-atomic level every instant electrons modify their pattern of movement, creating and destroying polarities, which in turn help change their chemical behavior. Resulting new and unique products add to Creation. Cosmic changes occur, energy and charge distribution changes in the upper atmosphere and we witness a creative movement of the heavenly bodies inside the space. When creativity reaches the shores of Human mind, it finds a new depth therein. It seems as if Man wants to consume all his energies creating and decorating things. Taking threads of nature and weaving them every time in a new fashion. For Man, inventing things for providing himself with comfort is all but a way to create and appreciate the ...

The Unconscious Self

“What color do you like?” “I prefer red.” “But why do u like it? There must be some reason.” “The only reason is that… THERE’S JUST NO REASON” There comes many such moments in our life when ‘There’s just no reason’ behind some of our actions or thoughts. Yet we feel determined to carry them out. This is the point when our unconscious steps in our conscious world and leaves indelible marks on it. Unconscious has a considerable effect on one’s way of life but the nature of the exact relation it has with the conscious self is mysterious. Also the fact that despite having seemingly conflicting nature one’s conscious and subconscious usually go together in an efficient way deepens this mystery further, thus making it more appealing for researches and study. Life is a complete system and the process of living needs every component of that system to work in harmony. That is why we should not consider that the unconscious and the conscious do not supplement each other. ...

Waves of sorrow and the fertile hearts!

The recent Monsoon season and the heavy rainfall we received poured some questions in the minds of many a people across Pakistan. In this post I would like to address three of such questions, according to my personal opinion, and would also like to know what you think about these questions. The questions are: ·          Why did a natural disaster as devastating as the recent floods hit us? ·          What can we at an individual and national level do for the relief of millions of people who are desperately looking towards us for help? And ·          In what way is the flood going to affect us, as a nation, in the long-term? Considering from different angles many different perspectives can be observed. Some believe that the ‘timely’ construction of large dams in the country could have helped storing water in the reservoirs, hence reducing the chances of floods. Others...
