The Lost Book

Once upon a time, I returned home
And opened the treasure chest of mine.
A startling scene greeted me.
One of my gems were lost -
My book that I weirdly called as " Brevity"

I searched like a rampart.
Within a few hours I earned my internship
In being a tramp.
It was a gem where I collected
The essence of my life.
The dates of my tests, controlled assessments and due dates of Home assignments were
The figures I missed the most...

It is the white book that has my name
Engraved in her heart,
Imprinted on her skin like an indestructible tattoo.
It is mine. And everyone knows that
She belongs to me.

I called my neighbours
Both far and near, known and unknown
I went on the tiring journey
Searching...searching...
Crawling through unknown air pockets
Whispering desperately the name of my book
Silently. But Unheard.
The sweat of weariness shrouds my frail heart.
Where art thou?

I asked the assistance of my thoughts.
Became a refugee to seek their help.
And yes, indeed! They helped!
For they are my true friends who are present
Even in my despondent distress.

Their faint voice blossomed my inside.
"Thine shepherd searched thou as though
Thy searcheth thine book".
A spark ignites in my soul as I draw myself,
Nearer to my Creator.

When I was a lost and stranded sheep,
How much did my shepheard pain,
Searching for me ...
Calling me repeatedly, numerous times.
Yet, did I heed unto Him? Oh ! No!
He was my shepheard who suffered greater sickness.
Oh! How must have my Great shepheard pained
When he strained his voice to make me hear.
What a terrible offence I must have committed !

Thus the present that reminds me of the past,
Though the bygones are my history.
Why? Because my shepherd, elated with gladdened heart
Took me to his dear prized fold!
Though, my disheveled phenotypic form never once did
Anger Him!
I am His. Everyone knows that
He called me by my name.
I belong to Him.

And yes, thus forth He continues
In the present
To search others as similar as me
Lost. Abandoned.
Lured. Broken.
By the roaring lion,
The sly and cunning serpent.
He is the Shepherd who gives His life
For His Beloved.
Oh! How Great is that fountain that flows
To wash away the impurity
Of the sheep to the colour
Of the snow.
White.



But, I wonder will my gem hear me?

Myself so selfish
I didn't see the truth that I believed in
I just followed blinded
With my ears deaf and my mouth dumb,earthly thoughts within
"Oh! Hypocrite! Do you not want to change?"
How can I change? When I'm satisfied and content
With the worldly pleasure?
Is there anything beyond this measure?
I will put my hoodie of pretension,
A mask , a wonderful mask it shall be
That no one, yes no one shall find the true me!


But one sunny morning,
I wake up to hear,
Screaming spoons and shouting tears,
Like a boomerang the boisterous atmosphere resided
Between the two people, the sir and mam
Insults and colourful skies stared at me pleasantly
Which soon I started to hate immediately.
The pleasures I thought would help me
The pleasures of the world that is,
Like a witch with a deep crackle of laughter.
Abandoned me...




I was blind that I did not see
I was in the dark the dark that stumbled me
I was in the easiest path that pricked me
I was fragile without any shepherd's rod to support me
My body aches,I tremble,I shiver,
insecure in pain that afflicted me.


In that grim atmosphere who could survive?
Into that heart of stone who would readily dive?
Dive to save the poor girl.
Not a single hand served their duty faithfully.
They didn't lend themselves!
Not a single mind of intelligence could succeed
Not even the wise ones of the world.


Oh! The pain in me....Whose claws bade me 'good night'...


I reached to that tip
The tip of the precipice.
The edge of deep sleep.
I was ready to give myself up.
I was in that corner.
With a dead end.
No more can I continue
My journey with the world,
I gave up all of me.
Cleaned my mind of all the
Greedy, lust, and all that vexing passion
Which I realised that actually debilitated me.




But then the impossible of impossibles
Unthinkable of unthinkables
Happened.
He made a way for me
When there wasn't a way!
His voice, gentle and crystal
I heard saying,




"Turn to me, My child
And I will be your knight in shining armour
For I have done much for you
Gave up my body, my dignity, my entirety
For you.
Suffered the curses,spits,mocks
For you.
Your sins, the burdens of burdens,
I have carried it on my shoulders
That not even Atlas could boast of
For you."




"For I knew you before the creation,
And I can be your guide when you stumble
Fear no more of your suffocating past
For I am with you.
My Spirit will hold you and
His Wisdom will lead you in the proper path
Through the difficult narrow path
The path at whose dead end will be your friend.
The path which leads to eternal life."




"Yes, I have paid the price
And bought you from the slavery of your horrible master
You've been serving for long
Under whose reign, the fruits of your guilt filled pleasures:death
I have broken the thick lead chains
It is your choice to break free."




The breath of my life returned to me
A joyous ecstatic cry was heard among the mountains
The cry was :"Yes! I accept! I accept you as my Saviour!
I am free! I am free! I'm free of the sin's slavery!
Praise all you creation! Sing the Mighty One with hymns
And glories! All you fowls of the air! Beasts of the wild and waters!
Magnify His Grace! Magnify His Love!"


At my birthplace, I found my dear sir and my dear mam
Still the same as yesterday
But will I succumb to the dread, and despondent clutches?
Will I be the same as yesterday?
Praise His Almighty! For never, will I be, at all!


The past has lost his grip on me
Neither does his desperate antics
Suffocate me but only catches me a cold!
For The Spirit of Christ is upon me
His Voice that guides me
Making me strong and defiant in
The days of turbulence.


For now, I stand straight
With all the weaponry that one can't see but feel
By the guidance of my Protector,
In front of the roaring lion
Ready to fight and continue my new journey
The journey which I craved
Which I actually craved.

free will' is another way of saying it...basically I am speaking of Jesus' Reality
as He possess the only 'real-reality' in this fallen world...everything in the fallen world
is 'vanity'...:) 'A Fight for the Realty of a Free Will'...
