A Flower

It was a pleasant summer morning
She stood under the tree which had lovely lavender blooms

Suddenly a wind blew
And the flowers fell on her like a shower of blessing

She felt very blessed as she enjoyed the wonderful feel
And sat down and gently picked one flower from the ground

The flower she preserved and stayed with her for long
It was a treasure, time captured in those tender petals

A token to look back and enjoy the beautiful moment!

The Dry Leaf

The leaf was dry
It knew life was nearing the end

The corners of it started curling up
There was nothing for it to look for in the world

The world around it was dry
There were no rains, no river, nor any lake

But out of the blue, a kind soul came
And showered it with a pot full of water

The leaf looked out in bewilderment
It couldn’t believe what was happening

The leaf suddenly straightened up
The dried parts came alive, it became green

It was a pretty picture
With tiny droplets of water resting on it

The breeze saying sweet nothings
And brushing gently against it and making it sway along

The world looked brighter
All straightened up it looked around eagerly

Enjoying the world around
It thanked the kind soul who brought Life back

Soaked in his love

Soaked in his love, she walks through the deserted moonlit street
It’s raining and you hear the thunder as the lightning strikes
Almost naked, she tries to cover herself
The wind is chilly and the rain drops pierce through her body
She tries to walk, dragging her feet
The rain is heavy and she is completely drenched;
Fully soaked in his love
She drags herself to the other end of the road for shelter.

Tears

Tears rolled down her face
There was nobody to wipe them off

She knew there won’t be anyone for her
All the pain were hers alone

Like the corals on the sea bed she lived
Unable to go to the world above

To feel the heat of the sun and to glow in its light
Only her tears understood her pain and it rolled down her cheeks.

Change

The world looks brighter
I could see smiling faces all around
They were kind and friendly
And made me feel good
It was not very long back
That these faces had a frown
And weren’t too kind
But they had changed, and it made me happy
I looked again and found that they were the same
It didn’t take me long to realize
That it was me who had changed!!

He

The day was bright and pleasant
There was laughter and happiness

Suddenly my world shook
And there was fury

I was in the abyss again
All alone in the dark

I looked for some known faces
But there were none

I was all alone in the darkest of the darkness
And I looked up to Him for help

He was there for me as always
He scooped me in his arms and brought me up yet again!

Helpless

I was trying to sleep when he rushed in
He said there was a snake in our guest room

I didn’t believe him at first, thought it was one of his pranks
But no, there really was a snake

Our aunt and her two sons were in the room
I was worried. They were still inside but were calm

I could see them through the window
The snake was trying to escape from under the door

It was not trying to attack nevertheless we were panicking
And ready to attack it and kill!

It sensed our intention and quickly retreated inside
And hid behind the chest of draw

Instead of helping it get out safely
I handed him a stick which he asked for

He hit it and killed it, never to want it inside our house again
And I watched helplessly with a heavy heart

Wishing I had the courage to let the poor creature go without hurting it!

Lonely

The boys were gone and I was alone
It felt like my world was crumbling down

It was darkness all around
Life became still and I froze

I looked for some light
There wasnt any ray of hope

I fumbled, struggling to be on my feet
I turned back and started to retreat

I was choking and felt so heavy with grief
When suddenly I felt two little hands on my arms

I turned around and saw the two smiling faces
I was back in my world.

The Men n the Machine

They came, the Men with the Machine
They were loud and mean
They woke up the whole neighbourhood
And took away our homes

Yes, they were loud and mean
Who never cared for our life
I flew away with my friend
And perched on the nearby wall

As we sat looking at the place
Which was ours until a while ago
We wondered where to find a home again
We looked afar but found no place to go

There were no green, no trees or bushes
It was all tall towers of concrete and glass
This wasnt how god had made it
But its the Men and their Machine that made us homeless overnight.

Thank you

There's a new dawn , a new song
A cool gentle breeze caressing the face

There's a new joy and laughter
A whole new world that i belong

There's a new strength, a greater resolve
A helping hand waiting to take you ashore

There's a new light and new way
A sweet tender smile straight from the soul

There's beauty all around, it's lovely
A heart filled with happiness and love

There's no escape, nowhere to hide
And here's a thank you for making me feel the way i do.
