Never Never Lands

by Smitha Narayanaswamy

Come did she to see nature's spell crowned,
Alas melancholy encircled galore,
Strange expanses upon her frowned;
The pain in her heart she bore

"Did I step on thorns in a search for a rose?
Did I wake up in a nightmare along the winter road?"

No mercy, no land, no kin she wept
With her eyes filled in tears and sore.
Waited till all the water above slept
But to see the wakening gore

His joys in her mind she beheld
Her baby hath no pain nor cries
Pain she saw hath no creature no kind it tread
Dream could she, it were all prevarice.
