A Poem by H.A. Azeez in Colombo
I feel you’ll be excited
by the show of opulence today
With tens of jets and helicopters
in the air on display.
+ + + + + + + + + +
They’ll fly over a field
full of soldiers on the march
making a rainbow in the sky
or drawing a silvery arch.
+ + + + + + + + + +
As they soar into the dark clouds
unyielding of rains
You’ll be in amazement—how majestic it is,
forgetful of all your pains.
+ + + + + + + + + +
When the show is soon over
and to home you begin to return
Remember to look down the path,
not up the sky – it’s just a sojourn!
