the heart sends many
questions to the stars on sullen wings
sometimes a subtle answer pulses back on silent wings
i’ve heard that
when you stretch your naked arms in quiet prayer
your flesh is turned to whispers sent to god on silken wings
benevolence has painted
vivid portraits full of life
a father’s love is color for the brush’s swirling
wings
your words will leave
an imprint that will echo in the halls
where freedom dances tongue to tongue on bright desultory wings
the poet shares the
human fate of joining dust and ash
yet phoenix-like his legacy may fan with solar wings
although the dreamer
feels estranged among the world of men
you never were a stranger to the ones with silver wings
like you zahhar has
longed to touch what language can’t define
a place beyond the shadow-fall of dark and solemn wings
