The Divine Proposal: A Salvation Story

The world was little less polluted, 

When hearts were less corrupted; 

We stood watching the flowers, 

As it rained gentle like showers; 

Later, we played long in the garden:

Chasing butterflies with no burden; 

He listened to my tales with admiration,

As I gazed at His stars in fascination;

We were best-friends-inseperable,

As we loved each other immeasurable.

Every night as we gazed at the night sky, 

I kept telling Him, "I want to shine bright, 

Like the stars blazing in the dark night"; 

We spent hours talking my silliness,

And I told Him "I want to be different, 

Like those butterflies flying in the garden; 

Gliding high together in the sky open, 

Hopping through the branches often, 

Hand in hand! so nothing can separate us now, 

We'll be sliding through the rainbow"!

Soon after I marched towards school, 

I followed standards that seemed so cool; 

He kept waiting for me everyday, 

But I kept ignoring Him each day;

Sin creapt in and I had my deviation,

I no longer shared Him my imagination; 

Awestruck at the world's wonders,

I got messed up with a lot blunders;

Life took a twist towards pain and guilt,

Imprisoning me in the imagination I built.

I traveled far hoping to find friends, 

Forbidden fruits disguised in latest trends;

Made me lose innocence with sanity shaken: 

Filled with hatred and standing forsaken,

I began missing my true beloved Friend, 

As I searched for Him in ways to amend,

Wandering aimlessly in the scorching sun,

Until I found an old rugged cross, shun;

There He stood, arms wide open in concern,

Waiting breathlessly zealous for my return.
