I sat upon that hilly track <br />With a pen an’ paper on my hand <br />A poem on my lips an’ heart <br /> <br />I looked up with all hopes an’ called: <br />Is anyone there to listen to? <br />My poems now, I’ll read them all... <br /> <br />A dew dropp drifted down an’ said: <br />We live in heaven on cloud nine; <br />Who wants to hear your poems, friend? <br /> <br />I looked down with all doubts an’ called: <br />Is anyone there to listen to? <br />My poems now, I’ll read them all... <br /> <br />A smoke rolled up an’ slapped my words: <br />We endure in hell in cold abyss <br />Who wants to hear your songs, my friend? <br /> <br />As I opened my mouth to shout, <br />The wind watching intervened an’ said: <br />My friend, you wait; I read your writes! <br /> <br />So did the plants the stream close by <br />The blooms the stars an’ the sea an’ sky <br />They told me this; you please recite...<br /><br />Kesav Venkat Easwaran<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-sat-upon-that-hilly-track/
