The sun was peeping behind the leafy trees
Its rays shone through the little vents between the leaves
The glimpse of the blue sky added the beauty of the picture
Like the background on the canvas
From a little distance I heard the birds chirping
I smelled the wind of the sea
I could feel that warm breeze all around me
I was in the middle of nowhere
I was in the land where I knew nothing about
I looked around,
Seemed like everything spoke to me
Spoke in a language I tried to understand
The language of the nature
I looked down to my feet
White hot sands tickling between my toes
I saw many faces
Faces I just did not know
They talked, they laughed
In my heart I laughed too
I embraced the hospitality of the scene
I kept walking
And I kept on looking
I thought I was lost in nowhere
But I was not
I found that I was finally there
Yes, in the hands that I am certain
My prayer is now this:
Wherever You bring me, I will go
Under a leafy tree or on falling leaves
Under a shining sun or in the rainy days
You are the only hope always
