To Sophia

TO SOPHIA Water turning into pebbles Ceasing to roll With you Sea means sands, River, a bed of dry rubbles. I gaze You struggle to utter I hug You stumble to shudder. Yet in a desert of bones The oasis of tear ripples Yon The wonder world Where tear melts The bones to flesh again. Sophia! You can see in my eyes The seven oceans In your body See I all the continents. That makes A haven Of land and water, Our good earth . Written after seeing a Documentary on Sophia .a girl Suffering from one disease Where all flesh stiffens to bones ,body becomes stony and the victim fails to move and talk.
