A Drop Of Mercy Poem by Amar Agarwala

A drop of mercy if I had
From upon the heavens high,
Would have made me a little glad
As torturous life went by,
Then I would know some mate of mine
With his tender heart incline
Comprehends where my heartaches lie,
Deeply caring when I'm sad.

If fate had bestowed such a boon
My life wouldn't painful be,
These empty days would've passed by soon
Paused not with an anguished plea,
Could God not his lenity send?
Making fateful pathways bend?
For once to his creation swoon
Perhaps for the sake of me.

I keep having this wishful dream
An elixir for my days,
Which flows past like some gurgling stream
Meandering on its ways,
I know not if it meets the rill
Enjoining the waters still,
Or it turns around in mid-stream
Climbing homeward where it stays.
