John and Lisa living in different cities separately
as to meet their ends, as life demanded strictly.
Lisa’s each morning starts with prayer and utter hope
Despite destiny devastated all dreams without scope
But her blind faith whisper always..‘Jesus is There’!
John a narcissist and workaholic turned agnostic suddenly
when their only daughter Rose became infirm terminally
Since then he never visited church or attended any mass
As if he had isolated himself from all kind of worldly
bass
But Lisa meditated upon her blind faith..’Jesus is
There’!
But today John seemed as if surpassed the past wounds
He opened his door of life to let in the light of joy and
sounds
John and Lisa is out in the bustling streets adorned with
lights
Even in winter the atmosphere is filled with warmth of
delight.
After a decade John’s enthusiasm clasped in spangled high
Red balloons soaring high as a silhouette wiping tears of
sky
At times he dances upon carols singing jingle bell, jingle
bell
Lisa midst of all these merry lost herself in the
monologues cell
Apparently zillion queries bursting inside as fire
crackers
Was she experiencing an incredible dream of her life?
Or was her blind faith magically unwrapped as reality?
Or was the holy bible emanates its essence as an elixir?
She was beautifully confused yet thanking all the while
Few joys of tears rolled down her cheeks radiating her smile
She knew she lived a thousand lives in those moments.
Overwhelmed Lisa looked up the sky and kissed the stars
At once, her glimpse caught a heavenly shooting star
She recognised, it was the Santa Clause’s reindeer!
Unbelievably she blinked her eyes few times in awe
as if she got all the answers in the form of a Pandora
box
A priceless gift for her from Santa Claus ‘On Christmas
Eve’..
Lisa whispered silently holding hands of John.. ‘ Jesus
is there’!
