Surprises Poem by Bharati Nayak

Surprises

Rating: 3.7


Surprises surprise us
They seem to come from nowhere
They lie hidden in some corner
Come all of a sudden
To catch us unawares
They give us
so many moments
of pleasure
Speaking the words of love and
springing from
a true heart

A surprise
took me over
Suddenly welled up
my tears
They flowed without check
When in the voice of my love
They said
I am here, I am here

It surprised me
When it came
stealthily from behind
Putting hands on my eyes
Asked
Tell me who am I, who am I?

Oh surprises surprise me
When they come in different colors
And merge into one
And become indistinguishable
From each other.

Thanks for guiding my imagination to picture many-colored surprises coming together- no longer intermittent- to become a state of constant wonder.
