Where am I
in your life?
In the morning breeze
or the evening star,
hesitant drizzle
or sharp rain,
silver moonlight
or hot noon,
deep thoughts
or casual tunes?
Where am I
in your life?
Down from work,
a weekend's interval
on a beach,
or an unintended
silken release between your fingers
from serial smoke?
Or a readily replenished,
freshened moment without wine,
or a moment's leave, anonymous,
between the breaking of one dream
of love and another's beginning?
Where am I
in your life?
Parveen Shakir (1952 - 1994) Pakistan
