“Oh Unmerciful God! Thank you” -II

The sky appeared blue, always

Bright and colorful, without any cloud

Stars danced in the sky and

The trees on earth bloomed with flowers,

A multicolored rainbow like

Life did envelope us fully and forcefully.

His was really, incredibly and unbelievably

A fast paced, hi tech life,

Always fused with humility and spiritual tone;

Why did it abruptly, unexpectedly

Suddenly came to a grinding halt.

Like a bolt from the blue

My poetry and philosophy of life,

My friend, my treasure, my love

Was snatched away from me

By the cross currents of water

How can I wade through my life?

The two tender creepers now

Are struggling to anchor themselves

Without the comfort of father

The performance ended abruptly in the

Middle of a song,

While all of us were really on song

Flung by fate and driven to despair

We have endured that dark night

Of the soul,

And a series of sleepless nights to follow;

Stumbling from“As flies to wanton boys

Are we to the gods”?

Yes, “There is a special providence

In the fall of a sparrow,” you would say

We are all made to believe now.
