Thank you for coming back again,
Though i have published this poem during the creation of Blog this; I am sharing this again. This is the poem which inspired me to create this BLOG and also my Book - " I AM DIRTY; I NEED WASHING" which is doing well now.
I have not tried the make the below poem complex ...rather the Poem is very simple with a strong message ...... it talks of the fact that we are all Dirty and at times we all need some cleansing of the soul :) . Hope you enjoy and please leave your feedback.
I AM DIRTY; I NEED WASHING
The mall is decorated with colourful lights,
sign of approaching Christmas
and I am out in this festive madness;
Shopping blues in everyone’s eyes.
Young man and women, happy faces around
shopping cart, excitement, wild dreams and mesmerising sound. I am done with my part Its time to depart. Suddenly the weather played its role sunshine blocked by clouds of gold and it began to rain, music to my ear. Hundreds trapped, unhappy and sad, I can hear.
Childhood memories of young days
paper boat and all those maze,
No worries, what ever it be
never busy in mind, always free.
And than I heard a seven year speak
to her mom in the crowd.
“Lets run mommy” , the child shouted
“No ! We will get wet” , her mom was loud.
Her face was pale with hardship and pain,
Her fear seems to be beyond the rain;
This is when the child spoke,
And I realized their Christmas drought.
“But you said by daddy’s bed
about his cancer and asked him to rest,
If Lord wishes this will also pass,
faith only will ensure, we all last.”
Divine silence I can feel, know not why?
I can see few of them cry.
All desperate to hear the mother reply
heart broke wishes and few more cry.
“Yes, baby lets run fast
Maybe we are a little dirty today
and we need washing”. They ran
into the street, in the rain.
Hundreds followed and danced to the rain
Shopping bags, all young and old
Tears and water, I saw them all
today in the shopping mall,
I followed and I also ran
To be a part of this divine fun
I am dirty too, I need washing
I was dirty and I needed washing
If lord wishes everything would pass
memories of that evening would always last.
Cheers and Keep Winning,
