And The Saga Continues........ Poem by Jaishree Nair

Darkness enveloped my mind;
Not a ray of hope....
No arms to comfort me...
No hands to wipe the tears! !

Oh! for the bliss of mercy
To quench the burning thirst!
Left unfulfilled by the world unwise....
Left alone with a bleeding heart!

Gone are the days of laughter
Of stars shining bright
Where is the ray of hope.......
The juice of life-love and warmth

The world is not what it had been...
Not a drop of love to be had;
No kind words; No kind deeds;
All sold to pride and prejudice!

Like a ship wandering in the ocean raging!
Not a clue where to anchor;
Oh life where are you taking me...
No destination in sight.

Where to wander..; where to go...
The thorns have bled my feet sore,
The tears have dried my eyes core,
No torch to illuminate the path.

My mind tormented by ghosts of days bygone
Help me O God! Give me a hand
Raise me from hell; the hell of life
The world fit for animals dread

Show me the path; The path to solace
The haven of peace and serenity!
