WEEPING WATERS

By Devyani Chhetri

Giggles, smiles and laughters.

Once upon a time,

With gurgles, splashes and uproar,

Of freedom, pride and wonders.

Talking talks of contentment, confidence and prosperity.

Singing songs of friendship, love and peace.

Weeping, sobbing, hurting,

In this moment of time.

With tears of sadness, anger and frustration,

Shouting words of weakness, feeble as it flows.

Crying out loud. Help! Help!

Not an ear to hear, not an eye to see,

Not a heart to touch .

To cure the grief.
