The Power Of A Poet | Poem By Arfa Karim Randhwa

Connected to God, in tune with nature, 
heartfelt passions spoken in a line.
What better place to find serenity
than in the prayer of a poet online.

Gathered in unity, divided in style; 
souls searching for perfect peace
touching lives by a timely rhyme
giving solace and pain’s release.

Seeking an emissary to heaven’s throne? 
To whisper entreaties to Angels there; 
No better place to reach God’s ear
than through the power of a poet’s prayer.
