Who has seen Tomorrow? Yet, we live in the Hope of Tomorrow…


Hope till Eternity

Time weaves its garment of Eternity
With gold and black threads of day and night

Embellishes it with rosy silk
Of the glorious morning bright
And embroiders it with the
Orange gold of the sunset light

Enlivens it with the silvery cool
Of the soothing Moonlight
And decorates it with the twinkling studs
On the starry nights…

While I weave my veil of Hope
With twines of love and passion
Lace it with my longing and desire
The glow is stolen from the inner fire
The dewy shine from my tears and cravings
That make my soul’s engravings…

Time and I are friends forever-
From here to eternity…

amazing poem Zoya, it is just brilliant! ,this philosophical line touched me most.

While I weave my veil of Hope
With twines of love and passion
Lace it with my longing and desire
The glow is stolen from the inner fire

That first verse, though brief, is absolutely brilliant. It's such a clever metaphor! I'm sorry for singleing that part out, but I have to say that it's just amazing. The piece is fantastic, with wonderful imagery and breathtaking metaphors. Bravo.
