He came!

By S. L. SHAHANI

I went in search of Him!

It was darkness still,

The wavering star-light was dim,

The morning had not yet set in.

I knew not the Way,

My feet nonchalantly trode,

Guided by Pole Star’s solitary ray

I wandered alone on the road!

He came, I knew not whence,

And asked me to show Him the way;

He smiled in the darkness

While I led Him on my way!

At cross roads I showed Him

The path He was to wend,

Then I parted from Him,

And in opposite direction I went.

Daylight burst will the sung of birds,

And the East was lined with a rosy rim;

In my heart were whispered the words

“You have rubbed shoulders with Him!”
