We're aware that between us there's
A haze of ignorance
Our steps but tread the path of our search

This is a very insightful poem indeed. I've so much appreciated the way you remind us of the timeless existence of dreams. In the second part of your excellent work you seem to melt yourself in that dream... 'I indeed am that dream/ Which no one has never seen...' In the third part you believe someone else...'lives inside us. Surely you are valuing inner strength more than 'what we seem to be'. And this leads to the climax of this poem, in my view: the broader enlightening soul of God! Your request to readers is superb! Thanks a lot!

How could one express in words All that colours, flowers and butterflies convey There's no other better medium of communication Than silence to talk to birds, plants and nice people Simply divine..I loved the interconnected themes of your poem; the bridge between our lived experiences and our imginations, our dreams..and the ultimate like with the Divine Nature of God. thank you for this master piece Naseer Ahmad Naseer.

We know that our life span is too short, than we need to complete our perspects, as we have innovative ideas every day to expand our vision, and as result our place is replaced successfully, suppose you have to complete cancer treatment research it may take 200 years, this research may be be completed by life span of 20 scientists..there is another way for satisfactions, that we may keep our desires to a certain limits, accepting the realities..

When I asked what I could read of ours, you guided to this poem and said to me 'it is long, but it is worth reading it.' Yes, it is long, and so very worth reading in so many ways. It is so true, Naseer as why should our birth date compartmentalize us? Your poem reaches us and flows like the dreams and love you write about and it goes beyond any space and time we know here on earth. There is amazing imagery throughout 'flowing water has no shape, shapes are but in our eyes and love has no life span.' This poem will stay with me for many days, and thank you for recommending it for me to read. 10 Karin Anderson

Greetings of peace! 'No Life Span For Love And Dreams' is a poem of many splendid manifestation of human limitation- potentiality; strength- weakness; emptiness- fullness and between the etc. and the soon and so forth. However, the poem defects the very core of our being...being human who needs someone higher than us- the reality of a God that would provide us the freedom to be bound inside the world of 'birth and death'. And that is what we mean live life or simple life itself- the journey's of 'man' through night and day, up and down till 'man' enters the door of death. Indeed you work is a tool to convey a message of love despite of hate, faith despite of doubt, hope despite of despair. Allow me to share with you my poem 'Cross-Roads'...just take your time reading it. The poem somehow an answer to your questions/ let me say a piece of the puzzle. Thank you.

'Didn't know that light can be seen only in darkness' 'But love has no life span It prevails from an unknown beginning To an unknown end..' 'Do not disturb the soul of God While it is dreaming' These lines I enjoyed particularly. It is so rare to see universal wisdom so impressively enlightened in poetic words.Unique as everything you write.Thanks for sharing and let light be on your way, Naseer. A.

'Be still and know that I am thy God! ' Naseer, Subtly you hold our hand And lead us through the gradual elevation Of the spirit from dreams, to love, to God You lead us on to dream, to meditate And to search our souls, for an eternal life Of love and dreams fulfilled in God! Needs a lot of imbibing, assimilating & reuminating too! You have a gift, a quill from above, a heart Which feels and a soul that ponders much Before it sets to write down any poem! Blessed be your hand that weilds the pen! Angel
