    Exclamation how can I find you?

    How can I find you?
    by mazHur


    how can I find you?
    where should I look for you?
    I wandered over valley and vale
    cruised the oceans blue
    flew in the sky peacock blue
    searched for you in rose gardens
    in deserts, prairies and snowy ranks,
    in temples, mosques and churches
    in the light of day
    in the darkness of night
    in everything under the sky
    and above the earth
    But you were nowhere to be found
    you were there yet not anywhere
    Alas, I was lost
    I was no more ME!

    When asked how World War III would be fought, Einstein replied that he didn't know. But he knew how World War IV would be fought: With sticks and stones.

    I like this poem, but I am a bit confused here, the last line is rather hard to construe. Maybe that is what a poem is, rather implicit.
    This reminds me of Sufi poems. You proved you could write good poems. There are no unnecessary intricacies as some stuff their poems with to present a kind of conceitedness or vainglory.

    Here I feel that seeker and the sought, signifier and the signified are not two different entities, inseparably one and the same, integrally one.

    All one seeks in another, the beloved is at the base of it, is something self contentment.

    Maybe there are a thousand interpretations a good poem can have.
    Overall, I present my independent comment that the poet has the amazing capacity for expression.

    “Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””

    “If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.

    thanks, Glory, for your comments

    your sufi heart has already comprehended the idea behind my poem, viz.
