A POEM BY ASHQUI

The torch is moving
Simply said

This era soon past
Soon named and put on the shelf

Watch carefully
This doesn’t happen often

Bridle your tongue
No one can figure it out just yet

The torch is moving
Simply said

There will be a brawl, a clash, a scrap
Linger in peace and let it all dissolve

No fight will prevent the passing of the times
Take your new costume and wear it with care

Dig up the truth from the rubble
Careful now, sift out the dirt and the dabble

Fix your heart on the deeps and on the eternals
Be not swayed by either the new or the old

The torch is moving
Simply said

Worry not a thought
For it is the way it is
