Helpless Poem by mandara pookal

The first stirrings of a morn
Plunging the memory of yesterday
Brings to life the hopefulness
In yet another memorable day

Yet when the need of the moment
Springs to life the expectations yonder
Distraught and painful the experience
Of knowing yet unwilling to understand

The complexities of life
Of helplessness

The unexpected happenings
Of helplessness

The facts of life
Of helplessness

Oh god give us the power to hold within
For yet the sun is to meet the sea someday
