Godsend
On many occasions, I have felt the supernatural
intervention of miracle hands that have helped me in distress and allowed me to
come out unscathed. In these moments of anguish and misery, these marvel human
beings have lifted me from the abyss and apocalypse to get on with life. Are
they inspirations, power of God, oracles or epiphanies, I know not, but there
are far too many to shrug them off as coincidences or fortuity or simply a
stroke of luck. These guardian angels vanish without a trace before I say the
profuse and profound ‘Thank you” and they are never to be seen again. The poem
below is a “benediction” to all those saviours who arrive at the opportune
moments to pull me out of fire and get me off the hook time and again! I have
intentionally used alphabets ‘T’ and ‘G’ in the verses to express my “Thank you”
and “Gratitude” to the “Godsend”.
Times many have I encountered
The rendezvous with an angel in disguise
Tryst with miracle men
Turning things around
Godsend to trouble shoot
Grant and bestow alacrity
Governed by manifestation
Gratuity I can never forget
Times many have I benefitted
Going on a wild goose chase
To come face to face with my messiah
Giving me revelation of a rare kind
True they could be fate and destiny
Grasp on situations beyond control
To bring me back on track
Gospel of faith on the supreme
Godsend to take under HIS wing
Guiding through perils
Genie that appears and disappears
Guiding spirit whom I have not thanked

ReplyDeleteWonderful and heartfelt poetry. As you have rightly said, there are simply too many of these "opportune interventions" to shrug them off as coincidence.

ReplyDeleteI have read the poem already and commented too.But I am seeing and reading again the same in the new,reader friendly and elegant template.People do not come by fairies, angels, siddha purushas and divine benefactors easily.They render their help or guide seen or unseen only to the deserved and the blessed.
ReplyDeleteThanks KP sir for your generous extra dose of appreciation and the second one is a bonus...glad that you liked the new template. I feel blessed with your footprints here and the comments.
