THE SPHINX’S WALK <br /> <br />Like some ancient riddle of the Sphinx, <br />Out of my mother’s womb, <br />I crawled out on all fours, <br />And there after on twos, rather soon! <br /> <br />Today I walk the lonely garden path, <br />On this cold and gray winter’s eve, <br />Hearing the partridge from the hedges <br />Sing their songs of glee. <br />I jostle up the garden path <br />With my gifted walking stick, <br />A Sphinx smile on my face, <br />As I walk on all threes. <br /> <br />I walk up the lonely garden path, <br />And seek HIS divine grace, <br />May the good Lord have mercy <br />on my soul, <br />As I walk right into space! <br /> <br /> -Raj Nandy, New Delhi, <br /> 25 May 07.<br /><br />RAJ NANDY<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-sphinx-s-walk/
