Exclusive Poem to Sada-e-Watan by Dr. Farah Adeeb of Perth
-ILLUSION-
A journey started a long
time ago
There were dreams,
Deep aspirations,
A heart full of joy,
A twinkle in his eyes
A ray of hope, someone kept saying
"Keep on going - you will get there"
It was a journey started a long time ago
Life was a rolling stone, no peace of mind
Dark long nights, cloudy days and misty mornings
I will get there - He muttered sceptically
Paths were not easy and arduous
made the journey even more difficult
Years passed by and he did get what he waited for
A goal - a dream fulfilled after exhaustive nights
So why this grief- a sense of loss at the same time
Loss which is incurable - loss of those close to him
Loss of those who used to matter so much in his life
There is no going back
Why do dreams not come true without pain and grief?
