Someone who shows the path- a golden shower that soaked my spirit
A golden shower, my rosary and life
A Golden Shower, my rosary and life
Scattered by the broken string, bent to pick the beads.
You stood with some in cupped hands, did you my thoughts read?
Led me gently to balcony, to show Laburnum bloom.
Clusters of bright yellow flowers watch them with awe, droop.
Yellow petals formed a carpet, underneath the tree
You said its called golden shower, from far one can see.
The breeze carries the flowers, away from the loose bunch,
Just like my beads got separated, and I sat hunched.
I forgot about my rosary, as we stepped in the avenue.
Your nearness and fragrant air blurred the view.
Careful not to crush the blossoms, lying on the grass,
We strolled hand in hand, exchanging a glance…
Can acknowledgement of one’s mere presence,
Touch one to the deepest core of one’s essence?
He looked at me with compassion in his eyes; Oh why do we
Have such an intense longing for one witness to our lives?
your exploration in into personal matters is what makes you such a gift, ric
Beautiful poem, Mamta...carries fragrant life sentiments...liked those 'yellow petals' lines, a lot
wonderful write,fantastic
Great imagery, you made me feel as if I was there. That last stanza is so deep and beautiful, certainly the type of acknowledgement this world needs more of... I enjoyed your write very much.
Essence in existence and existence of essence ...through glances and gestures ..presence is a divinity , acknowledgement is a prayer ...wonderful write this
A very soulful write Mamta, well versed
It's really pretty and very nice and I'm happy for you. But a Golden Shower has two meanings....careful! : o God touches us in little ways though others. I think you're describing a feeling of grace.
It's not always easy to answer the question you have asked at the end ! Perhaps 'cyclopseven's' answer is the closest ! -Raj
