Metaphor
Companion in the Quest
A metaphor for the destination is you
For my guidance
Don’t stray so far, that then
I get lost in the search for you
You don’t know
Beyond the reach of my feelings
My imagination
It’s only you
Don’t disgrace my shattered independence
So that after losing you
Even a particle dares to challenge me
Even a breeze carries me away
To the direction you don’t desire
The grasp of my flight, my growth
Companion in the quest
Aslam Murad
