Paradise Wall


I run back to caves to leave a little something to history
Our lives I realise to the future may be a mystery
I need no pen, no canvas or scroll
All I need is a stone, a wall and I'll carve it whole.
I'll draw trees, birds, hills and mountains..
I'll draw children sharing a fountain...
I'll draw Tigers for I fear they may not remain...
They might just disappear from every terrain..
I'll draw lovers sitting under walnut trees...
Where orchards will orchestrate the perfect breeze.
I'll draw fields with shepherds and ladies and sheep
I'll draw those faithful flea bags that help the sheep, the shepherd keep.
I'll draw gardens with butterflies fluttering
Gardens with exotic flowers cluttering..
I'll draw water and fish swimming through
I'll draw a sailor floating paper boats with the rest of his crew
I'll draw the excitement visible on a little girl's face..
I'll draw the anguish experienced by a little boy hoping to tie his lace
I'll draw parents watching their little child, for the first time walk..
I'll draw the happiness in their eyes when they first hear him talk.
I'll draw weddings with the dearly beloved gathered..
I'll draw the bride and the groom to whom the rest of the world never mattered.
I'll draw sand and shells next to seas..
I'll draw big red doors with wooden keys.
I'll draw the sun, the moon , the sky
Our time is precious and I now realize why..
Our world is extraordinary, we have to try and keep it that way..
Sometimes we just need to listen to what children have to say...
I wish I could draw more, draw it all...
But I realize for this I need a lot more stone...a lot more wall..
Save this world for you, for me, for one and all...
Respect the beauty of the Paradise Wall...........................................................


For our world and all that she's had to put up with..........Abhijeet.

Truth be told,
so aptly put down...
We've all got our share of gold,
in our own little town...
All this, if only people realise...
There'd be so much less to despise...
