A Pearl is Forever


Lifeless I may be, for emotions I detain,

I too have a story though; I am a small sand grain.

As I lay under the clouds, smiling in pain,

From Heaven you descend ‘O Drop of Rain’.

The thunder grows louder and the sky gets bright,

As they witness both of us, taking The Plight.

Divine was your touch that mellowed my heart.

Treasure I shall forever this journey we embark.

Wanderer I was, you gave me an aim.

Merrily we move, putting each obstacle to shame.

Meandering past hurdles as we advance,

Approaches a waterfall, we’re caught in a trance.

I pray for you, against death as we race.

You hold me tightly, as if its last embrace.

Fortunate I am, I can share your moments,

Speed you might have lost, all love is unspent.

Cherish I shall evermore, days and nights we spend.

Apprehensive I get seldom, every journey has its end.

The Sky beckons you, and so does the Paradise.

Helpless I sink, as I see you vaporize.

Futile I was, you transformed me into silt.

I could never see you again, is my only guilt.

What is life, without some hope!

Hope rekindles; in an oyster I elope.

The Oyster sheds tears, as memories I gather.

The Moments shall live in me, as a Pearl Forever.

Priceless I may be, for emotions I retain.

I still wait for you ‘O Drop of Rain’.

You are Life and Life is You

Confused I am as I cogitate,

Whom can I liken you; my soul mate!

Drops of the first rain that never lose charm,

Or Waves of the Sea that mesmerize all.

Fire of the hearth that makes abodes warm,

Or Stroke of the Lightning making farmers enthrall.

Gentle Breeze that brings you a smile,

Or the Tempest that makes a voyage worthwhile.

Smile of a mother holding her baby,

Or the Laughter of a Clown deceiving many.

Tears of a mother when her son departs,

Or Tears of a Father when his son makes a mark.

Red color of the Roses, that makes a love thrive,

Or Red color of the blood, that gives us our lives.

Myriad are the ways I tend to conceive you,

Still greater are your virtues as time unfolds you.

My confusion evanesces as I miss you,

You are Life and Life is you.
