Analysis of Storm to a Light
Mazhar Ali Khan 1994 (Palos Hills)
A Painting
I will always remember how to paint
with the colors of the wind
This love will be my travelling friend
on the life path to a masterpiece
Towards a day an ultimate one
experience the bright flame from the
With this flame a burst of wind shall
have a crazy momentum
A detail like honey is a locus slow
Glistening slowly stuck livingly soft
Sound of glow
A timed mesh
To trap ourselves in time.
An ocean of ourselves hello the echo
of a new feeling
A new selfishness
Lughrn of a new trade
This is my new trade
Freedom of the wind
