117.Diamonds

Diamonds of desert
Precious and rare
Shimmers in beauty
Beholding my eyes.
Mesmerized I stare
At the sight so rare
Filling my vision
With the gift of the season.

116.My Plight

Look at my plight
Morning light
No more delights
Fragrance from flowers
Are lost amidst towers
Star filled nights
Are out of my sight
I have lost my appetite
Sitting on debris I fight
Yet I find no respite.

115.Understanding

Understanding,
Ah! Why art thou difficult to pursue?
Is it your game?
To make us lame!
Unabashed,
You trample our lives
Making us lose sleep
As we weep
Seeking penance,
Questioning
What went wrong?
Unashamed,
You stand and watch,
As devastated life crumbles
Feeling forlorn
And crushed.
O! Understanding
Why do you sue ?
When Thou must show courtesy
Don't you realize
Mortals sizzles
Only on thy mercy.
