Poem
And then I opened that door Oh how sweet was the sight that came to my eyes My feet, my lungs, my whole body felt so sore My house, my room, my couch, why it all seemed to be paradise! Yes, see you, I have done a big blunder I came out of it, thankfully All I ever wanted to do was to be a cool journeyer One who enjoyed long walks in the country That day, I woke up at five, left home at six Walked to the hills with the help of sticks Watched the sunrise Being, by such beauty, all mesmerized! I sat up on the hill I sat up and let my heart be still I closed my eyes, and smiled Why, thought I, life's miseries are sometimes worthwhile! I chose to sit for a while The scene unveiled itself to me in great style How beautiful seemed to be grass wet with dew Why, now, though still young, I did feel like I have lived through! I lost track of time, I sat there for I don't know how long At last, I did choose to get back home That was when the rain started pelting; I knew I had to keep strong I knew I had to, if I wanted to get back home, where it's safe and warm! I climbed down the hill in haste, hoping lightning would not strike my body I slipped, fell in the mud, got back up on my feet and tried to be steady I walked on, I was drenched, I could not see my way I really thought, my soul, on the hill on that day, would stay! I walked on, with the sound of thunder roaring over my head I prayed to be kept alive, in such a way, I did not want to be dead I knew not when I reached some road Some road with an unknown destination as its lead! I looked left and right Knowing not which way would lead me home safe I was all moved with fright For the worst did I brace That was when a weird looking truck came towards me The driver saw me and stopped, feeling for me, some pity I'm lost, I said, can you help me reach home Sure, he said, sure, get in I'll get you home! All the way, he talked, he laughed, he joked Still I was in fright When I saw my neighborhood at last, from my daze I woke Thanked the man heartily and rushed to my home with, in my heart, a jolt! And when I opened that door Oh you know not how it left me, all that was sore I survived the worst of what I chose to do Now, I did learn that it is not good at all, to overdo! 18 June 2015
