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.
