The prodigal son - By Bemen



The Prodigal son- By Bemen Farag
Lost for days all these gloomy nights,
waiting for the sun bright lights
Desires of mine to find a guide,
To rest after prolonged struggling tide.

Where’s the key? I wondered aloud,
With it to place the frightening wood sound,
Complaints of mine have found none around,
The harmony is hiding in my own mind.

The maze is wide jammed with the wild,
Perceived they aim to catch me tight,
Persistently beseech to fetch the key,
That no one on its way could ever see.

For the purpose of liberty out of the maze,
To free oneself of much-loaded phase,
My proper dream of bliss fell into ruin,
By neglecting the genuine artist within.

Busy scheduled with prodigal living over and over,
Striving for the swine’s pods out of the border,
How I perish here with hunger,
And servants of my father are richer,

I will rise from my sins admit,
A servant to my father, me I hope him to accept,
But the father ran towards me with great compassion,
Bringing the best robe, sandals and ring, giving permission.

A thick blanket of fog has been lifted,
As a new board of wood to be painted,
A ray of hope appeared on the horizon,
Cause haunted memories have been forgiven and forgotten.

Thanks for your time
