This is my destiny... (Challenge poem)

By piyushswaroop

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Deep from the sea I started The voyage to eternity And high n' high I went up Drawn to sky by affinity Up on the top I realized Its not in having reached, But in reaching the joy lies And I started back, Back to home, down to earth, Its being in use lies worth, I thought, And as a tiny drop, dipped on a tree. But being dew, the joy of sight, Was not I aspired, So jumped to this leaf And then on that leaf And here on this one, Branch to branch, drop by drop The journey continued And then I reached home, My home, the cosy home, The little home, The vast home, The Earth. And as i served the tree, On whom i travelled, I thought, Yes, now I am worthy, Now I am big, Because I have grown up, Now I am no drop, I am water, Water that heals, Water that serves. Yes I am worthy, Yes this is my destiny...This is the poem I wrote for the 'raindrop challenge' by papercut. Thought that I should share it with my poetic friends to know what they think about it and the poet who has written it... piyushswaroop Written November 3rd, 2001 © on Nov 02 2001 09:16 PM PST   0 • 9
