UNEXPLAINABLES

 

By P. Lal

 

You asked for pain?

Oh, no!

Yet pain was here to show,–

a light you searched in vain.

 

You asked for woe?

Never!

Yet woe was here forever,

since Life was made to flow.

 

You asked for things?

Oh, no!

Yet unseen hands did throw

a wealth of wondrous things!

 

You asked for God?

Yes, Him?

But He was ever abroad,

the Force by which we nod,

the Ocean where we swim!
