A Crowded LoftA Poem by Naim ToumaObjects are banging fiercely Against the walls of my attic I've filled it with sounds and scenes That keep on rising and falling When they surrender to manifestation I struggle with light and dust When they hide their trace A bitter taste makes my throat choke Woe to me! I'm but a foolish merchant Who traded bliss with bright illusions Woe to me! I'm but a reckless mason Who raised his walls on the quicksand of fancies Blessed is the wise man who doesn't barter Fresh water springs with broken cisterns Blessed I am for I've touched and seen The root of mercy washing dusk with dawn © 2014 Naim Touma |
