WHEN THE HOPE WAS LOST
WHEN THE HOPE WAS LOST
When fetus
Inside the safe bag
Crossed all stages
But the misjudgment
Took away its first breath
We were left haughty and mistified
A long wait of painful years
Were confusing,
Missing were the conclusions
When everything looked
Bleak and blank
And life was nothing
But a sack of tribulations
Here hope once again
knocked with feathers and
Perched our souls silently
Blowing winds sang a tune
With lyrics that
Ears wanted to hear
Hearts throbbed
Minds awestruck
Send chilliest swirls in blood
Did we discern it right
Or yet another puzzle
From the devil king
Of the sixth heaven
had made an advent.
Ahal! the signal was heart-stirring
Words more clear
The angel was on the way
The days signaled warmth
Winds were soothing
Skies made a spectrum
Of all prismatic colors
Even autumn leaves leaving
Their branches
Swayed and sang a tune
In all ten directions
The music echoed!
The wait was over
The angel burst out
From the safe bag
the first fresh air found an inlet
The lungs palpated
And the unique fragrance
Of my body mystically
Traveled in his veins,
The tight grip of tiny hands
Testified motherhood
Heaven was here
In my molded arms
O'Lord! A feel beyond explanation
I was a mother now.
Grief breathed its last
Coming days
Were of lights, colors, music
Prismatic was cosmic glare
Hands rose in gratitude
Nothing more could have been
A bliss from Him, who is
Always there, though unseen
His designs, His timings
Beyond human minds
Many a time may be testing
But those who seek Him earnestly
See His glory limitless
And never loose
His boundless rewards
Which is quite mystic
