BEAUTIFUL STORY

i see a beautiful

story

unfolding before

me

the story of

how we create

destiny

A family around me

n only we

in a fibre glass

yacht

when a grown up

says

this is beautiful i

agree

but i long for death

the freedom that

will really make me

free

when suddenly

booms a voice

that says..

“Now is the chance

you have

to earn it

if you die

next moment you

will be reborn

sent back to this

world

of face and form”

i turn..

look around

and see no one

Puzzled

i rise n return

into the room

within

as the yacht..

speeds on

to a shore along

a forested estate

The yacht speeds

on

with a puzzled me

on board

Next i find us all

in a quaint little

home

within the estate..

As i roam

about n settle

before a breezy

window

chatting with dad

along comes a large

tiger

leaping gracefully

to clear the wired

fence..

to land neatly

on the forest trail

that runs..

through the land

through the

forested patch

right before our

eyes

gently pointing at

the creature

so dad can see

i hear me say

so there are tigers

here

dad

n dad kept alert n

stared

in wonder at the

majestic cats

strolling quietly on

padded feet

on thick carpet

of forest leaves

Suddenly from

way behind

the same leafy

trail

appeared a long

haired Shepherd

herding a group of

deer

n children

following merrily

behind

walking on like a

song

like the forest were

their home

when the merry

group

goes trooping by..

right before my

very sight

more tigers jump n

gather for

a good look at the

troop

of merry goers

That’s when a child

points n calls out

The shepherd

turns to see

tigers accompany

the kids n deer

But he waves

aside worry

N says “do not

panic

these tigers are

mere sheep

to those awake

n not asleep

do not panic

these tigers

are innocent

they only eat

when they get the

scent

of meat

killed by cruel men

Do not panic

these tigers

do not feed

on growing crop

n on little children

who do not stop..

these innocent

beasts

eat only meat

they recognise as

dead

Children even

though

they walk beside

even if you drop

yourself n fall

down

You are in no

danger

unless You hear

the call of Pride

N stay down”

Echoes

the same strange

voice
