What I Pray For
With a passion I have to reveal
What I conceive or what I feel
When I am soaring at the wheel
The Milky Way is my poesy
A gust of wind, a clear blue sky
A bloom of rose with a butterfly
With every verse I have to deal
Hey! to make hay is my poesy
With a spell of music, buzz of bee
A dance of leaves, a wave of sea
The only boon that gives me zeal
No doubt I say is my poesy
Of the rhythmic tread of marching feet
The drum that goes with steady beat
Of the starry night I make a meal
To get me gay is my poesy
To convey ups and downs of fate
The events of my love and hate
Some episodes I may conceal
The tune I play is my poesy
A glance of beauty in her grace
A beam of hope with gleeful face
With enchanted power to heal
A blissful ray is my poesy
Without which useless is beehive
Without which I cannot survive
So on a rhyme to set the seal
The night and day is my poesy
A comrade of my solitude
A marvel of my aptitude
Giving my Allah thanks I kneel
For what I pray is my poesy
To give you pearls of joy and love
To make you peaceful like a dove
To get back on an even keel
On a handsome tray is my poesy

I thought this poem had soul but I was a bit distracted by the word POESY. It doesn't seem quite the right word to me.???? Is this only me?
Life gives us many things to be thankful for. My daughter was married just Sunday, June 24. So it was a good occasion! Lots of happiness. This is a good piece of poetry Iqbal. Thank you again for posting here on the Postpoems site! deborah
