Green Pain
By: Sayeda Anjoom
How could I be so broken
Surrounded by this summer green
Why does my heart bleed
Flashing back at distant scene
Chickadees sing unsung songs
Banding with the buzz of bees
Squirrels play hide and seek
Meandering through white oak trees
Wild flowers giggle in the grass
Like a dazzling bay
Lonely violet rises among them
Wrapped up in dismay
The silver lake lies still
Holding tears of pain
Far-away heaven touches the earth
Pouring showers of rain
I undo the latch of my heart
Weeping strangles my voice
He called me his eternal love
I was his only choice
Until we departed I never knew
He means so much to me
No more he gives his hands
Stares with eyes like sea
How could I be so broken
In this charm of festive mood
Amazingly lush and verdant
Air filled with joy and good!
