I Shall Come Poem by Valsa George
I Shall Come
I shall come, my soul flying faster than my supple limbs
To perch on my native land that I left long time ago
To see the changes, these intervening years have brought
And to revive the glorious past that in me still aglow
To listen again to the melodious tunes half forgotten
To laugh and talk with my one time bosom friends
To enjoy for an interim, a life lighter and less demanding
Free of all finesse, rid of all stilted and crazy fads
I shall visit each of my lovesome former haunts
The parish church and my parents' forlorn graves
I shall go to the village school which I loved the best
That still resurrects in me memories, waves on waves
I shall go wandering through the graveled country roads
Listen to the birds' shrill calls, lovely and clear
Watch the smile rekindling old familiar faces
And enjoy the sweet rustic air, dust free and pure
I want to watch the Gulmohar in opulent bloom
Feel the scent of jasmines opening at night
Walk through the paddy fields stretching endless
Enjoy all the rural scenes that greatly delight
Climb the small hill where gooseberries grow
Wind down my way to my friend's quarters
And travel farther to the river side with my pal
To have a dip in the river's cool and clear waters
Oh, I shall be away from the roaring crowd awhile
And relish the peace and quiet, free of all grinding chores
Cling to life's commonplace things and charms
And go back replenished again to the alien shores!
A very refreshing poem and I felt warmed up throughout by nice narration and calm reminiscence of things of life....Valsa.......amazing write as always.....10
