I know

~ Megha's World

“I want
To do with you what spring does with the cherry trees.”
― Pablo Neruda

I know from the wisdom 

passed on from generation

why family becomes your will to survive 

I know what miseries are

and what lesson they teach

from this topsy-turvy life

to reach the sky

I know from 

the scorching sun 

the parched earth

that it’s always 

followed 

by rain-bearing 

skies

I know from the 

rose and its thorns

the more beautiful the soul is

the more difficult

is to occupy

I know from the scars 

in my life

they are the 

maps to follow for the 

fallen passerby

I know the trails 

and tribulations are 

nothing but a litmus test

for my soul to 

so  it can thrive

I know I have been through

defeats and deception

to sieve the friends 

from just another passerby

I know from the heartbreaks 

there are stops before 

you finally arrive

 

And I know what love is 

because of you 

in my life.

I’m a mother of a smart and energetic seven-year-old. I started expressing myself creatively since the last two years. Since then I have been continuously inspired by events in my life and around me which has helped me in penning my thoughts. I’m an avid reader, loves to sing, an ardent lover of poetry and sometimes can scribble few lines too. Loves to dance in the rain, have an undying love for nature, can watch the beautiful sunset for hours. Love to kiss and hug my loved ones. I have worked in the IT field for almost a decade as a manager, worked crazy hours and traveled around the world. In that busy schedule, I never got the time to creatively express my thoughts. Now every time I finish a poem, free verse anything it fills me with so much happiness and excitement and a feeling to have created something of my own. I’m planning to post at least one creation of mine weekly. Lastly, a million thanks to all who visit, like or follow my tiny bits of creation. Every time you do that, I get to know one more beautiful person in my life and get the chance to see their creation too.

  16. Beautiful. I love the cadence of this piece; like dipping the drinking gourd into the cool water over and over again to quench one’s thirst. And the imagery of sieving to find the friends among the passersby. Love it.
