Awaken



The night stands too cold , hefty to breathe .
My steps, in search of way , that brings me home.
For I behold no men at streets , to guide .
This tears my covet of life .

A fall , brings me to a loathing sea .
I can't swim ! , now who saves ?,
A boat , out of nowhere descends, floating.
A stranger ,with a kerchief veiling face , approaches me .
"It's all over , little boy . Let reinstate glorify "
His vows being eerie , I forth , I tried advancing , but I failed.
Seems a limb being pulled, "help !........." , a fall again.

With a bunch of finest air , my eyes blinked open .
Wobbling them made my spirits , so high ! .
Oh ! my parents "there" , i pointed .
They hurried, with a weep they crawled at my bed.
A blink again , a fall again ,
Brings me to the orenda of seven.
