Disasters Can Be Good

Vasanth M

I Ain’t old to complain 
 Yet too young to be worried 
 My pals seem to enjoy more 
 While I miss to be Whole 
 A belief of many – all pain shreds off at home 
 An exception, am I? 
 For me It began there 
 Busy are my parents 
 With no time to care 
 Loneliness I had always felt 
 With none to share 
 Off, they go day & night 
 Some business that keeps them tight 
 A lonely cuckoo – I felt 
 Left in wilderness -its song unheard!
 A constant run to amass more 
 For a person least they have known 
 Days passed in emptiness 
 A sudden shift of weather 
 In the world and of mine 
 Plagued by war and fear 
 People left in constant tears 
 For me, a boon from the force unknown
 Surreal but, true 
 A scene I longed to see
 The two souls staying with me 
 We talked, laughed & fought
 A joy so profound 
 No treasure could have brought 
 An unusual spring and my life so poetic
 While all the world was chaotic 
 Few forced days together
 I Wished the time had stood still 
 Deep, down my heart
 There struck a new thought 
 Disasters can be good!!
