Thou Give So Much Pain Poem by Sadashivan Nair

Thou give so much pain;
Though my heart dithers in ache,
Yet sometimes has acquiescent feel;
More the hurt I feel, Stronger I come;
As a rubber ball,
Harder it falls, higher its bounce;
Brunt my soul in enrage,
Painful tears roll out of eyes;
Thine cruelty too is sometimes bless,
A lesson to rise above,
The depth of pain,
As lotus rises from sludgy pond;
Thou taught me enduring pain,
Gratitude to thine savagery;
Something happens when thou around,
I swallow anger,
Repress revengeful mind;
As I learned to love,
I can't hate;
The bible verses taught,
Never hate thy hater,
Only love can transform;
I learned to find pain as ritual,
Prior to bliss;
As after intense labour pain,
New-born baby comes from the womb;
Life is never the same;
Day of murky sky,
Too changes to bright sunny light;
