This is a poem about the life of an overseas contract worker….Those who had to bear distress of being away from family for the finances comfort. Those who spent hundreds of days in the long cold lonely nights and burning daylights for their loved-ones. They are the unsung heroes of today…..Kudos to all of you!
The snow frost from the North Pole
Blew its cool wind up to the dessert
Sand of its finest
Dunes of mountains and valleys
Winter kiss on blushing cheek
Frozen night awaits the day
Lame hope is yet to boost
To keep the doomed spirit away
A sprout of light transpired
In the oasis of you and I
Where dreams are opt to unfold
Before our naked eye
In the scarcity of green and water
In the abundance of deep oil wells
We found ourselves entrapped
In search of fortune, comforts and love
Feel the warmth of summer
Your suntan smile speaks louder
Your weary form lay unrest
Staring jaded but had to keep up with the beat
Winter creates odes of emotions
Convey thoughts and instigate sentiments
Leaving your judgment wandering
Hanging on branches of hope till the end
Brace yourself, clench your firmness
Life in the dessert isn’t a piece of cake
Bittersweet memories will sneak a look
Forgotten ruminations had to be told
Have you not known how hard it is?
To step your foot outside your home
Leaving your heart in seclusion
No smiles and giggles could mask it all
70% discount on your favorite bag
Clearance sale on your favored perfume
Price reduction of your fantasy Iphone
None of them could equate the feeling of being home
Why we are here is an individual choice
Wrapped in the chill of winter nights
Sweat in the bright scorching daylight
Everything we will do in the name of LOVE
