Hazim Baba Poems

Life
Im starting to get old
Yet, I'm still young
I lived life with fear
...

You're my love, my life,
The air that I breathe.
You're my soul, my happiness,
The all that I need.
...

Everybody everywhere seeks happiness, it's true,
But finding it and keeping it seem difficult to do.

Difficult because we think that happiness is found
...

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
...

Come when the nights are bright with stars
Or come when the moon is mellow;
Come when the sun his golden bars
Drops on the hay-field yellow.
...

I want you to know
one thing.

You know how this is:
...

After The StormThere are so many islands!
As many islands as the stars at night
on that branched tree from which meteors are shaken
like falling fruit around the schooner Flight.
...

If you were my rose, then I'd be your sun,
painting you rainbows when the rains come.
I'd change my orbit to banish the night,
as to keep you in my nurturing light.
...
