The hull whispers secrets, forgotten by tongue,
carved with moons and the language of stars.
This vessel, a memory made manifest,
glides on a river veiled in morning mist.
No map charts its course, no compass can bind,
it follows the song in the wind's gentle hand.
The current, a yearning, a whisper upstream,
pulls us skyward, to a celestial strand.
Sunlight fractures on water so bright,
shattered diamonds dance in the waking light.
My own voice, a thread in the symphony's weave,
a poem unspoken, yearning to believe.
The river unfurls, a celestial stair,
each step a verse etched in the luminous air.
Stars become stepping stones, galaxies gleam,
boundaries dissolve in this celestial dream.
The inner self, a pearl in the heart's hidden tide,
stirs, awakens, bathed in the moonlit ride.
Words, once unspoken, now take to the flight,
a symphony birthed in the secret river's light.
We sail on, a vessel of soul set astray,
embraced by the heavens, where secrets hold sway.
The poem unfolds, a map to the unknown,
in the heart's deepest chambers, a truth is now sown.
-Rashid Ali Ghazipuri
