Hope Less But Hopeful
Tranquility inside;
Tenderness within;
That’s my home,
My mommy’s womb.
Fervently coveting to unite;
With the near and dear;
Certainly, shall indeed arise as a limelight;
Anxiously until…..
I heed loud screams, hue and cry;
Began to toss rapidly within,
Mommy began to run quickly thereby;
Panic-stricken, I continued to tailspin;
Alas!!! It was my last gulp of air;
I lay within, soundless;
My ideas and dreams devastated;
Mom rested speechless;
Dad howled deafeningly in pain;
He is missing me and so am I;
Those gigantic waves gushed in;
Took my breath away;
Took my dreams away;
Tsunami was the cause;
Helpless were numerous;
Effects were agonizing;
I lay cold;
I lay within;
God....
Why me?
What have I done?
Why have I been castigated?
Why can’t I talk to dad and mom?
Why have my dreams been shattered?
Why can’t I be there to explore the world?
Unanswered are these questions…..
I still lay rigid….
Tears flowing….
Hoping to get an answer;
Hoping to convince god;
I want to go back;
Back to the place where I came from;
A place full of dreams and aspirations
A place full of love and affection;
Alas!!!
I still lay cold
I still lay within…
