When... Poem by Jaya Das

When...

Rating: 5.0


When Sun douse inside the old blue sea
Thorns turn bald seeing the capering bee.

When sky descends, bowing valorous marred earth
Roots free the trees, to soar high fulfilling their mirth.

When a rich preaches a vagabond not to beg
An eagle saves a sparrow's falling egg.

When none dreams of a Phoenix's life
Peace burns war, air devoid of worldly strife.

When streams of 'they' unite to form ocean of 'we'
Our boats may be different but we row on same sea.

When everything around changes, never happened before
The day our voyage of love begins, proceeding from shore.

Such a warm poem of love and hope. I felt something special in my heart when I read the streams of they becoming an ocean of we. Let us all keep this picture of the world in front of our eyes... Sooo Nice!

A great poem! You deal with difficult to realize possibilities, but also suggest they may not be inevitable. When 'the eagle saves the sparrow's egg'.....a fabulous image. There's hope here, but it is well-grounded hope. A terrific poem.
