Man in the Park


There’s a man in the park, dearly familiar,
A drawn, kind face, unhurried, unrushed,
He’s watching children play; I find myself watching him,
Imagining, what it would be like to have my father sitting there,
Is it a fleeting feeling, a crazy, wistful thought?
Or perhaps the dead do come alive in a memory, in a look,in an old fragrance,
A melody, a favourite dish, in a future they didn't get to live.

The Song of the Sufi Masroof
