Beneath a tree I once found, <br />A moment of my life rest, <br />to itself it was so much bound, <br />A pearl in my blues deepest. <br /> <br />Ailing heart; a hug it longed, <br />a balm on my ruined bold, <br />onshore winds blew time along, <br />it was warmth in christmas cold. <br /> <br />A word of praise I ever got, <br />win for which I was loved more, <br />This pearl polished others; I forgot, <br />defined me happiness in pains galore. <br /> <br />Dreams I saw; prayers I said, <br />truths I spoke; wishes I crafted, <br />All were buoyed; from amidst storms fled, <br />beckoning lost smiles that time berefted. <br /> <br />Beneath a tree I found; <br />a pearl in my blues deepest, <br />mere nostalgia it was; <br />or intentions of that god farthest?<br /><br />Chaitanya Dorwat<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beneath-a-tree-i-once-found-a-pearl/
