Searching For My Soul? Poem by Umasree Raghunath

As I was getting old
I cherished a friendship gold
For that gave me life
As my dear man's wife
When ever I felt tired
And at verge to retire
I remember the promise
That would not demise
To keep my spirit high
Till to the world I bid bye
For there is a charm
In life's every try
Sometime, the earth shook
The waves caught me in nook
Thunders threatened me to kill
Rains poured down my hill
Yet I had someone lifting
A mountain above protecting
Me from every wrath of nature
As if it was its very nature
It was just not an umbrella
Those made me feel like Cinderella
But it was my very life
That protected my soul
I ran behind time and tide
Behind my deadlines to abide
Floating amidst the crowd
Maddening my every nerve
Deafening noises that threaten
To defy me with my peaceful ether
Yet at the end of the day
I ran to someone to solace
Who pampered my tired self?
Smoothened my troubled brow
Lifted my drained energies
Redefining my life's edifice
Sometime back, heard a tsunami
After that everything is gloomy
My soul is searching for its mate
Who protected it in all disdain?
Tired, and threatened all the more
I am running towards my valdamore
