Analysis of More Than Words
Quaid-Uz-Zaman 1954 (Jamalpur)
I hold off myself to take the hold of me by the power that settles on my heart from within.
I close my eyes
take deep breaths in and out
and all through silence etheral,
charged by the cosmic rays
play the calm and serene role.
In darkness light rearranges itself and dreams glowing wander all the pathways.
No more question
No more answer
till not the Soul is set free
and takes a reborning.
In a quite deep sleep
dialectics would do no work
And I welcome the inevitable.
