Oh my child… <br />The dark clouds hovered over the dusty terrain, <br />The Sun refused to shine. <br />And the rain nourished the passion within…! ! ! <br /> <br />The wind lamented the storm raging inside, <br />The shore was a deathbed. <br />And the waves washed away the confused guilt…! ! ! <br /> <br />Oh my child... <br />The rocks hindered the primrose path, <br />The river lost its strength. <br />And a stream of hope meandered its way across…! ! ! <br /> <br />The fire engulfed the broken twigs, <br />The shadow prophesied an eerie silence. <br />And the sparks blazed a trail of valiant flames…! ! ! <br /> <br />Oh my child... <br />The sky darkened into an inky black, <br />The universe echoed the breaking doom. <br />And the light shimmered from the celestial stars…! ! ! <br /> <br />The brain imprisoned the wounded heart, <br />The thoughts killed the beats. <br />And the childhood dreams crucified the adolescent love…! ! ! <br /> <br />Oh my child… <br />The half moon smiled over the fallen star, <br />Somewhere a heart broke. <br />And somewhere a lily bloomed…! ! ! <br /> <br />Oh my child, dim your eyes… <br />Lose sight of this wounded world…! ! ! <br />Oh my child, dim your eyes... <br />Drift away to a dreamy world…! ! ! <br />Oh my child, behold the beauty within your tragedy, <br />For there is all meaning in between…! ! ! <br /> <br />Oh my child, listen… <br />The lullaby hums in your life..! ! <br />Love-your-dream... Love-your-dream... <br />Lubb-dimm… Lubb-dimm… <br />Lubb-dimm-dimm-dimm…! ! !<br /><br />Swetashree Sahoo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lullaby-of-a-wounded-heart/
