Two Clipped Wings
Another example if from the poem
titled The Light of Neighborliness in which he looks
at the example of a Pakistani blind child implanted
with the eyes of an Indian donor as a sign for a
future peace and coexistence between “intertwined
fates”.
“Mohammad
Talha Shahzad can finally see
After a birth into frightening blindness
Wrenching cries in engulfing darkness
Much like the two splintered lands
Struggling to heal partition’s open scars
Focusing burning eyes on inward hates
And yet in the toddler’s
unabashed glee
Transplanted joy of gifted corneal kindness
Surgical removal of a stubborn starkness
The friendly clutch of outstretched hands
Shrugging blackness, dreaming of stars
Blessed by the glow of intertwined fates”
(excerpted from The Light of Neighborliness
that appears in the collection titled Two Clipped
Wings) |
Having been born, educated and grown up in India
but also having had the opportunity to live and work
in Indonesia since 1998, Amol regards himself as
blessed to have had a chance to experience first
hand these two vibrant countries and Two
Clipped Wings offers some unique insights and thought provoking
observations. The book is due for commercial release
by December 2006. |
