Very Long Years Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Very long years
Tuesday,28th April 2020

For very long years
I lived with fears
the fear of insecurity
and no belief in an almighty

I thought of him as an imagery figure
it did not convince me of Him as creator
"It might have been the concept of crooked mind"
but i didn't venture to find out

I pursued with my zeal
and thought it as real
"will this accompany you forever" I heard an inner voice
"I murmured" no choice was with me

"I still protected" as if He was reminding
you were still preferred
you never missed good thing
and this is how i want to bring some happiness

for a minute
I was taken back and tried to mute
my inner feelings
but it resisted of my doing

"Come on, wake up"
"You are still not late to keep"
your mission for noble cause
I wondered at this and paused for a while
