Epiphany

Hymns of love in the rustle of leaves

 I find when you are by my side

crashing waves of time when sweep me off feet

engulf me in ignominy

you act as my savior, my love! help me smile

When doubts dominate over faith

my fearsome soul takes lanes and bylanes 

never dares to make it to the highways

you fling open arms, held me in deep embrace

You lend me frenzy, some wild imagination even

when I paint my poetic oeuvre with chosen verse

help me pick and choose words and phrases

like a butterfly in the vistas of a blooming garden

I no more seek happiness far and wide

for, you brighten up my days, make nights starry.
