Onward Journey ...... Sammy and Skep - Page 7

I sat at the table stirring my hot cuppa tea

A fruit pie with peach cream I didn't even see

A worried frown on my face as I ate the muesli

I worried about my friend across the seven seas.

The day was dull, the clouds filled the blue sky

My concentration was gone and I could tell why

Some one far away was to be put through a test

My Sakhi was harried by an exasperating pest.

I sat in my carriage and returned over the bridge

The buggy jolted as it ran noisily over the ridge

T'was the end of day for me but what about her?

I prayed that things would change for the better.

The water ran gurgling by but I did not heed it

The birds cooed in their nest but I didn't heed it

The clouds descended down but I didn't see it

My heart prayed for her - I hoped she'd heed it.

I lay down on my bed my lashes floated down

In the silence of the night there was not a sound

I saw a beautiful valley with the flowing stream

Was this real or just a part of my dream?

The firs stood upright and with them I did plead

I spoke to every flower and to every seed

Will she be okay, will she have a reason to smile

Will her anxiety go away in just a little while?

I reached the end of that most ethreal forest

A figure was there in white looking the purest

He was writing with his plume in golden ink

I was so mesmerised, that I just couldn't think.

Who was in the gazebo.... .God or a holy man?

I couldn't reach him due to the water's span

Oh take my message across, ye divine birds

And exactly express my thoughts in simple words.

The leaves looked purple in the blessed light

Flowers growing on the banks were such a delight

My heart almost stopped its beat at this lovely sight

I hope my friend is spared and is no more in fright.

Wake up! The sun shines for you

Wake up! Before the morn is through

Wake up! Its a beautiful day

Wake up! Let that sleep go away ..........

The Earth is awake, the dewdrops tell

All is beautiful in the dell

The drizzle brings a freshness for you

With faith, hope and love too.
