A Sermon From The Wild Poem by Valsa George
A Sermon From The Wild
On a stone wall, by the pavement
Annoyed and angry,
With daggers drawn at everyone
Sat he dejected and depressed.
Eyes so cold, mind so blank
His vision, blurred by a hazy mist,
His gaze, fixed on the horizon far
Stationed he like a block of stone
From a distance, came a barking sound
From the dog that followed its master's trail
Seeing a rodent, behind the bush
The dog was barking on and on
The mangy animal, once so loved
Now left wantonly uncared,
Violently disturbing the calm around
Irked the man, otherwise annoyed
Instant was his response.
Picking up a stone and aiming at the dog
He hurled the stone with all his might
And wow! It didn't miss the target
Hit hard by the whizzing stone
The dog twitched and yelled in pain
Licking its wound, it ran round and round
Along the concrete path, mad and wild
Until, at last it slowed down
And moved towards its master harsh
Petrified, on an impulse, he jumped down,
And fearing the worst, he closed his eyes.
But wagging its tail with a pleading look
It began licking its master's hand
The hand so rude that clutched the stone,
And flung at it, causing it to bleed
It was a gesture too deep for words
That taught the man the lesson of love;
To love others with every broken piece
Even after someone breaks your heart
After years, it still remains
The best sermon, he ever heard.
Hitherto, never ever preached
By any mortal, living or dead
Very beautiful Valsa, to love those who hurt you is indeed a triumph.
Great words with a touching message. This dog is immortalised now and for ever.
with a plead to make a good poem by (editing) many lines are poetic But wagging its tail with a pleading look It began licking its master's hand
Dogs have a lot to teach us humans. A touching heart warming poem. Well done my friend!
A heart touching poem, how cruel is the man! .........................10
Very touching and poignantly crafted.......Valsa....bringing subtle emotion to every line.....be it human or animal every mortal yearns for love badly.........a great piece rich with weighty morals..........
Valsa this beloved piece of writing is heart wrenching. The love of the dog for his master even though he was treated in the worst kind of way is very enlightening. In the same light we should love someone still even when they have mistreated us. Yes we can learn from animals. Even as humans we sometimes act no better than the animals do. An inspiring write in all its entirety.
