Eternal Bliss

Eternal Bliss
Run as fast as you can….Shouted the old wizard
Aching heels and throbbing heart! she could’nt move
The weiry traveller, ,fuming brain and bleeding throat
Singing her swan song in a feeble voice ,the desert so hot!
Saw a pool ahead,bare footed pulled her heavy legs
Found no water there for it was a mirage in the desert
The wise man followed her but was calm with a smile
Pointed out a small tree with leafy branches in the wilderness
Lead her to the shadow where she lay down for a while
Narrated her miserable story to the old man ,she remained
Until the hot sun disappeared behind the red curtain
Went on with her journey ,the poor lady walked alone
Lingering memories of her good old days but faded ones
At last reached the river so wide,nobody could swim across
The ferryman was greedy , she had no money in hand
Alone she stood there in the banks of the river
Longing for another ferry to take her away
To the sweet shores far beyond the rippling river
Where she is not alone and will get the eternal bliss
