![]() From The Dust Of ManA Poem by Arif AslamI dreamed inside the framework of a quiet echo As my fingers touched the quill of your soul I hid behind the clouds so no one would know Of my lonely walks within no man's glow You gently untied me from pastels of blue From an embryonic womb of darkness You gave me to sup of morning's first dew Soothing lost edges as no other could do You took the nightscape from inside my head Your sun-thoughts cloaked my apathy In layers of strawberry, silks and red You spun every dream from smiles of thread I climbed upon the plinth as you held my hand You bade me follow across flawless fields The windows of time became beads of sand As we walked away from the dust of man
