Quest Poem by Pradip Dasgupta

I asked god why can't i
meet you now.
Why i have to wait for
my whole life.
God said to me, 'as raindrops
reach mountain than travel to
river and river travel to ocean.
So you have to travel the
journey of life to reach me.'
I asked love why there is so
much pain in it.
Love said to me, 'as rose is
surrounded by thorns.
So you have to go through
pain to feel love.'
I asked success why you are
so rare.
Success said to me, ''as pearls
and diamonds are found in
deep ocean and dark coal.
So i am rare so you can value
me.''
