I wanted to write a poem <br />Wanted to tell a tale <br />But knew not how to rhyme <br />No words I could avail <br /> <br />I looked towards the sky <br />Said a heart felt prayer <br />God said: ‘Open your eye <br />And see my creations rare’ <br /> <br />I thanked and looked around <br />To feel the flowing waters <br />To read the blowing wind <br />To see the mist and mounts <br /> <br />The bright beauteous flowers <br />The sweet swimming fish <br />The cute flying birds <br />Grass so green and lush <br /> <br />The starlets and the moon <br />That glitter in the sky <br />Oh God! These are Thy boon <br />The morn and milky rays <br /> <br />All these I can see <br />All things I can feel <br />On all I can write <br />And sing songs with zeal <br /> <br />All these seem to sing <br />Songs my heart unheard, <br />Words so muse so long, <br />That make my mind revered <br /> <br />A poet and his heart <br />Can never rest or sleep <br />Oh God! Thanks a lot <br />Thy wealth, a precious heap! <br /> <br />27 03 08<br /><br />Kesav Venkat Easwaran<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-wanted-6/
