A Rainy Night
Contemplation
by
Tajuddin Shah
Nocturnal rain sang a swan song,
As the full-moon’s last petal dropped.
Migrated birds sobbed and cursed,
As slant drops fell on their hatching eggs!
Another star lost its bond from the dim sky,
Riding towards the most forbearing.
Is there any creation safe from pang;
That keep haunting from birth to death?
Nature, Man and Creator have roles
So significant and specific
To perform the Art of Life
On the stage of Time.
