Analysis of new swimer



New swimmer
Rafiq Hasan
Unless one is a perfect swimmer, one
Should not dive into deep waters, for he may
Be consumed in the sea of passions, it is not a
Bad idea for a new swimmer to wade in shallow
Waters, yet, someone may remain quite immature
Even after crossing the age of forty seven. Like myself,
Remaining submerged in canals, ponds and shallow
Marshes not having the courage to dive into
Deep waters, how many more days would pass by like
This, I do not know, will this unlucky soul ever enjoy
The waves of the sea?

Those who were my companions in the long journey
Of my life, have gone away leaving me alone on the
Sideline distressed and destitute
