I do believe in miracles

I wandered  past the river bed,

Collecting pebbles all along

Bending down to pick a few,

Of green and  white with crimson hue

Pocketing some in a deeper pouch

Throwing at random, few of doubt

Bemused , sad and forlorn though

I sat down counting on my store..

Poured them all over the sand

Round , oval, small and bland..

Bewitched I found a dazzling stone

Of ruby red, so bright it shone
all those worthless pebbles i threw
closeted the only treasure i knew..

I danced with joy and madness crept

My life, my life, with joy I wept

And there you came, asking for me..

‘Whither did you roam my dear?’

‘For long i searched, beloved ‘you said.

Pulled my arms and opened my hand

‘Ah!, my lost gem’ you told

‘Tis mine’, and held it close to heart,

I buckled and on my knees I bent

Covered my face and wept and wept.

My  pain, by your smile you swept.

‘You too are dear to me’ you said.

A web of passion you generate
As  easy as a twig,you   break

Captive of your mysterious ways

I'd  follow the glow of your heart

A serf, my lord  you lead me through

For in miracles I do believe now
