Poem Title:
Poem
I was working late night, It was ten when I stepped out of my office, The monsoon had already started its show, Wild storms and copious showers, Thick clouds of spooky figures, Rustling of leaves and swirling of trees, Shattering of rain and rolling of winds, Amidst the full force of nature – I was trudging on. I could see only darkness. And nothing but darkness. The winter winds were bitting my throat, My nerves and veins shaken in cold, And I was standing all alone, Not a single soul to care of me, From my birth till date, I was one and only one, My journey from an orphanage to a hostel, A miserable one, As I was walking in the rain, I just wondered Why God created me ? I serve no purpose I am desperate and desolate. The roads were deserted like me, Not a single man was out, The thunder roared and the lightening fired, Ahhhhhhh ! I screamed and shouted with fear, My courage slowly turned to ashes, My prowess was broken to pieces, I was petrified of being alone, Fear started to conquer me, I became weak and craven, In a cold sweat I stood still, Fear was running down my spine, I looked around, it was murk, murk everywhere, All of a sudden I heard someone wailing Breaking my thoughts I stood fixed It was pitch dark and I directed myself to the sound As I was nearing, the cry was even louder, I made my steps fast, And pulled my legs strong, I ran and to my puzzle - My God! a baby The infant was lying inside a tent, The rains have already smeared the rug, The baby was exposed to the merciless showers, I was shocked and stood inactive, A thunder brought me to this world, Without any qualms I lifted the baby, She was shivering in cold, Not knowing what to do I took a rug and wrapped her, I looked around there was no one, “Help! Help! A baby here”, no reponse, I rubbed the baby and made her warm, The rain stopped, The winds turned to breeze I searched all long there was none, I removed the rug to see her, How beautiful! She looked at me, Where is your mother, my dear – I wondered, She caught my hands tight and smiled, This smile gave a wide meaning to my life Without any hesitation I hugged her, I looked around still it was dark, But I followed darkness with a dauntless courage.
