Murmur of Stream of Grief
When sad eyes sink at depth of dark to see
in the niche of soul, still like the deep sea,
find out where the drops you shed roll to lie
beyond the edge of scorched mind till they’re dry.
Mind then comes out of smoke to dance with glee
at soft pace like fleet of clouds that moves free
in the blue expanse of the seamless sky,
beguiled life spreads wings of joy and soars high.
Sunburst horizon glints the face of gloom,
in waned plants of wasteland buds again bloom,
their hued touch wafts to the heart shining bright
as it blends with glow of soul’s blissful light.
Billion drops of grief flow in stream from heart,
with its tuneful murmur new song will start.
