Thy Hand

In a complete darkness
I saw a hand reaching towards me
Unknowingly catching hold of it
I felt warmth & comfort it offered to me
It wiped away my tears – & caressed me
It sheltered me from storm – & introduced love to me
It made me play – & it scolded me
But still at sunset it holded me.
Night ‘n’ day & still after weeks
Months ‘n’ years it molded me.
Loneliness I left now far behind
The only mate I found – was thy hand
Suddenly collapsed the heap of dreams
I saw my tears flowing like streams;
Nothing to trace, no way to lead
No thoughts – how I could reach my dreams.
The hand left me – with no reason to think
Thou did not notice – my heart could sink.
I gave thee my voice & felt unheard
I searched for thy sight & felt unsearched
In silence I stood & waited thee to speak
In silence I heard there was nothing thee could speak.
Thou shall not return, now I know
I shall pray for thy joy, wherever thee go…
I thought the world has ended for me
God offered His hand – I am here for thee
He is my joy, now He is my hope
To reach out to thee – there is no scope
But I thank thee – you gave me such a pain
It was only then – God heard my claim
No matter how far you stay from me
In God’s kingdom – I shall wait for thee…



Only,
Joy
