The Girl Who Searched For Horizon
She once ran and ran swiftly;
Over the green wet meadows and
Down the shallow valley land
Crossed the narrow long bridge
To reach at the beautiful ridge
Where the sky kissed the earth lovingly.
Tired she sat down looking sadly,
She thought it was near somewhere
But couldn't find the lovely place nowhere
As a flower that was about to wither
As a sad heroine of some writer
She still looked at the sight longingly.
She was dark and lovely;
Like she reflected nature's raw beauty
Her tiny eyes shined brightly
Like it holds full of energy and life
Her hair was long and swayed like
It was dancing in the breeze lazily.
Her innocent lovely smile suddenly,
Spreading on her curious face
Seeing a small dove flying apace
Felt like she forgot about finding
The horizon that she found interesting
When her eyes saw the bird quickly.
Swaying hands while running quickly;
Little feet covering short distance
It felt like God has showed his brilliance
When he dolled up the angel like doll
I pray never the Lord let her fall
And always love and embrace her softly.
[Dedicated to my friend Shithy who was my inspiration to write this poem.]
