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
