A beautiful poem contributed by our talented colleague Masarat Daud, Quality Management Experts (QME) Coordinator at the e-TQM College:
"This is my latest poem, titled 'London'. It’s about the belief that we all have a soulmate; there was a period in my life where I stopped believing in this concept. But now, after reviving it, I feel as if I'm dreaming once again--the altruistic dreams, where you don't expect them to come true. He/she will start existing just because you started believing. And you might find him anywhere—in London or in your city or just…in any unknown, unpredictable place! And if you’re married to your soulmate, then you’re one of the rare lucky people!"
The longing for a change;
The hope of meeting what—
The crystal ball would never show.
In that chilly weather,
When the clouds are dark—and
Filled with hope,
I sense your presence
through the gloom.
Your green shirt—
Barely visible through the mist;
Maybe you’re walking
Or are you staring at the moon,
Wondering?
Just like a poet’s heart—and
A child’s eye.
My bachelor words have
Found—
A muse,
To fill the empty recess of longing.
He listens and marvels
At my gift of words.
When everyone has gone into slumber,
My voice echoes in his dreams,
Making him sigh while he sleeps—
Thanking our God,
To have completed the circle
In an unknown land.
