Is It True? Poem by kunjubi varghese

Is it a dream? I often wonder!

Is it spring time? I wonder!

As I realized the joy of a blooming flower.

I wonder, if I can cherish the gem

I got from the several dark tunnels of my life’s path.

Can I lie down and sleep for sometime

In the shade of green trees,

That promises me the protection?


For my heart knows only one melody

The lullaby of a friend!

Will you believe me if I say

'Yes, it's a dream come true'.


In the darkest shadow of my mind

You brought a lamp and lighted it,

Driving those shadows away

My life was so lonely

You filled it with a ray of sunshine and hope.


Do not leave me alone in this lurch,

The whirlpool of grief and desolation!

I shall be lost in the alleys of life’s tempest

Once again, and disappear without trace.

And perchance, if I ever get away…

Remember, I shall be somewhere

Around, on the surface of this earth

And you too, I don't know where...
