Oh! Giggling Child Poem by J T Jayasingh

Why are you giggling
Like a wild open fire,
The miniature human?
Have you heard the untold secrets?
May be, divine jokes have been cracked
By the celestial angels?
May be, still the heavenly peace
Is lingering like a leach on you?
Why are you giggling all your heart out
With bright sparkles on the face
Purifying the egotic burdens
Of the grown up onlookers?
Are you teasing us,
Seeing the unwanted filthy burdens
Breaking like branches our backs?
What secret are you telling
In an unknown language?
They say you are struggling
To form words
But only I know
That you are struggling
To make the ignorant know
The truth and peace
You have seen and lived.
I know I am a blurred,
Burdened and terrified
And can’t laugh my heart out.
Oh miniature human
But now I’m sad of you
That you are growing old
To change like me!
