A Supplication -Ii Poem by Rajesh Thankappan

I woke up in the morning
With a rainbow in my eye
Soon I was draped in
Vibrant colours bright.

I woke up another day
With a dark and clouded mind
The sky raged and thundered all day
The lightning almost struck me blind.

O providence, awaken me up each day
With a true and sanguine thought
So that I can join the company of birds - Singing cheerfully
In spite of whatever yesterday might have wrought.
