Zoya my friend. What would I do without you? Your poems just boosts me to the top whenever I am down.

Zoya Zaidi, a persone with a rare abillity,
her words send out the mst lifting touch,
so full of heart, tears, mind, soul and kindness,
Infusing me with the warmth to remove the ice in my life

The most troubling part is that there can never be an answer.

Though, while that is troubling... it is constant. There is never an answer, and so when everything is changing around you, you can always go back to those old un-answerable questions.

You know, I think I have said this before, but your writing always reminds me of the author Kahlil Gibran. Just the way you use words, phrases, and the delicate, pained grace that rests over your poetry like a tissue-paper veil.

I was reading him today, actually.

Wow Zoya. This poem is one of those that really can trigger our thoughts.

Thinking about... Questions and answers.

Sometimes, one answer can match many questions:
Yes.
No.

Some questions can have different answers, all of them possible, none of them exclusively right:
Which is your favourite colour?

Then there are questions with one single answer.
The Answer.
The Prince Charming-Answer:
How much is 1 + 1?
2. A match made in heaven.

And there are those intriguing questions that wander about in this world, without ever finding one answer that really matches them. Many answers are willing to become their partners. Sometimes one of them can seem to be the right one, but it never works in the long run. Sooner or later, they'll have to part.

And the question stands once more alone, in all its tragic greatness.

Why?

Do not fret dear Zoya....the beauty of God's creation is something we should ponder yes. I know for me. it causes me to recognize His power and majesty. Thus directing me to the power of His love.

Always beautiful and full of wonder, your work shines brightly.

Because this is life and we all want so much more then it can give, or what we can receive of it, to satisfy the needs that we think we have, beautiful words Zoya :-)

I want to comment so much on this poem but there is nothing I can say that would be good enough to give your words the praise they truly deserve.
*Bookmarked*
I also want to print it out for keeping in my journal where I can read it again and again. (with your kind permission).
