f only you're searching for <br />Kindness in this gruesome world <br />Ask this lump in my throat <br />Didn't you experience it <br />Moving from the depths of your belly <br />Navigating its way through the heart <br />To your vocal chords, blocking them <br />From speech when you looked at <br />A lonesome child covered in a coat of dust <br />And looking longingly at <br />The balloon seller holding a bunch of colours? <br />Haven't you felt it when you lost yourself <br />At the sight of two lovers engrossed in <br />Each other's company by the sea-shore? <br />Hey, you must have felt it <br />When you talked to the one close to your heart <br />Only to realize that you haven't talked <br />What you intended, overwhelmed as you're by <br />His/her voice and his/her presence? <br /> <br />It always stays put <br />It always obstructs <br />My air-ways <br />At every word or act of kindness <br />At each act of violence <br />As equally as <br />At watching children at play <br />At an infant smile <br />At a helpless old man <br />At a dignified old woman <br />At a child of restraint <br />A bunch of giggling youth <br />A pet waiting for its food <br />A bird feeding its young ones... <br /> <br />At a distant melody <br />At a passing cloud <br />At bright moon-light... <br /> <br />...At every ripple <br />In this ocean of creation... <br /> <br />18 Aug 2011 <br />12.52hrs<br /><br />indira babbellapati<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-poem-called-a-lump-in-my-throat/
