Angel of Care

The Almighty summoned me,
I immediately rushed to His care.
Sweating and panting He was,
A sight, I admit, not even rare.

‘Lord’ I said, He cut me short,
And said with a breadth that did not last.
The date is tomorrow, month is decided,
India the chosen land has always been”

“Work undone needs completion,
An obligation needs fulfillment.”
Shocked, bewildered, amazed I was,
Clueless as the mortals, when the day would last.

“The purity of Ganges is at stake,
The holy temples, sacred yet pale.
The wave of love once filled the air,
That land now needs an Angel to take care.”

“Time is an element even I cannot hold,
It’s passing by, turning Me cold.
Seconds bid farewell, My heart skips beat,
The World is waiting, the promise I need to keep.”

‘Lord, You are the Creator, the World is Your very own.
You are the source to which, all of us belong.
You have created Mountains and Rivers and Lakes,
Angels so beautiful and humans beyond compare.’

“Easy as you think. I wish it was,
It’s something very special, very close to my heart.
Parents as pure as breadth, sister another Angel,
Friends I will choose, personification of innocence.”

“Call the Moon to be Her face,
The Rainbow can fill the smile,
Call the Oceans to fill them deep,
The Sun that forms the eyes.”

“Nature My own I give Her now,
Yes, now I know, this is how.
Let Fragrance be Her name, the fragrance of My POETRY.
Oh! How I love, love the experience of It.”

“The work is done, the time is ripe,
The Angel is ready, to India will fly.
Humanity is in awe of Her beauty, Gods in awe of Her soul.
She is truly My Angel, My Angel of Care.”
