The Way I See
THE WAY I SEE
Rains come in torrent as the clouds burst
Time for the helpless hill is at the worst,
Its slope fails, land crashes down in a slide,
Exposing the scarred face ugly and cursed.
Days later, flushed in the sheen of the sun
Shining blades of grass sprout one by one,
Birds on rock ledges drink trickling water,
On ugly hill face I see nature’s beauty return.
The face you got isn’t for you a thing of pride
For your genes haven’t been on your side,
In many undoting eyes you’re an ugly girl,
To lonely refuge you retreat hurt and hide.
The special way I behold you no one knows,
Glitter of your golden heart your face shows,
Like moon on rippling silent river your eyes glint,
On your ugly face I see the angelic beauty glows.
