The Mystery
As my heart groaned
In real deep pain
The blood oozed out
And my cry was in vain
No one near
To care for me
As I looked around
And searched for peace
All alone I wandered
Hoping to come across an oasis
But I saw no water
Just heard the wind's hiss
As I walked with my burdened legs
I found it hard to walk in the desert
I was in the middle of a huge dry land
I couldnt even think to revert
The Sun was bright and shining golden yellow
Making me feel hotter than it really is
As sweat poured down my tired eye brows
I prayed to sky for a cool blowing breeze
Far away, about miles distant
I saw something calling, shining and bright
My eyes felt much better
And the load of my heart suddenly felt light
As I lifted my legs faster
And made an attempt to reach the treasure
The wind hugged me in its huge arms
And I felt a divine pleasure
I hurried myself to unveil the mystery
I was so eager and so much anxious
I was unaware of my own condition
Unaware of my own conscious
I took up the discovery in my hands
Blew the dust away and removed the sands
It was in fact, a twig with three golden leaves
I tried to observe them and found great relief
One was Confidence, One named Hope
And the third one was my Hearts Belief
I looked up and asked my god
Do you have any explanation for this?
To which He just smiled back
And gave me His loving caressing kiss
Now I know what he means
He has given me the best he can
As I turn around and take a look
I am in an oasis and the happiest man!
