Leaving the Meadow - A poem by Amitha Anikuttan ( Alumnus)
LEAVING THE MEADOW A lovely little meadow So green and fresh and glowing The tiny lambs here and there Gathered under the shepherd's crook Freedom filled the air Bounded by the fences Happiness was there Enchanted with goodness Tears were also there That turned into rainbows With the light of holy sunshine That made the lambs prettier Purity was the way Preaching made it brighter Twists and turns were there Those unwinded by the guardians Now it's time to leave The lovely safer meadow As the lambs have transformed And the time has come The world is waiting out there With the mysteries of life The sparklings of hope And the darkness of despair The liveliness of truth And the lifeless falsehood It's time to enlighten up With the might of the meadow To go along the way That has ups and downs Till the end... Where the eternity welcomes you. By, Amitha Anikuttan
