I SAW THE GOLDEN COIN

I was sad and lonely that day

tiresome and had nothing to do

My thoughts were tumbling down the row

and my persona was rebelling too

I walked the daily step down path

Tapped the single step I raised

I praised, “Oh lord help me now”

“Oh help me now”,  to god I praised

I stared at the blue less sky

I searched around for green less sods

I cursed the red less sun

At last missed home, it was time to return 

I had both my hands

Searching my pants for a single bug

All I wore was three fourth fine

But one fourth was the piece of rug

As I bent my neck with throe

And agony of having no one to join

Something twinkled into my eyes

And what I saw was a golden coin

My heart filled with thousand dreams

and salt rolled over my cheeks

what a success worth a day

As in marsh rain through clouds, sun peeps

My heart throbbed and throbbed

and millions of promises were made

With a deep breath in my chest

I picked up the coin and raised

The coin stays still on my palm

And I am dazed and don’t know what to do with

Shall I keep it as a mark?

Or decide my fate by tossing it
