The angel

Once a soul lost his way and stumbled deep
In a pit full of darkness, sin and destruction.
He used to cry every night to sleep
cursing the heavens above and creation down.

An angel felt mercy for him and flew down
in that deep, dark, stinking pit of hell.
She appeared to him and asked him to climb,
follow her to the land of light and sunshine.

The soul screamed at her in anguish and fury,
“You are the ones who landed me in this pit
and you expect me to climb that steep hill
and follow you back to the land and light?

The angel looked at him with eyes full of pity
then slowly reminded him of all the hurt,
and accidents which came his way when
he was taking every step towards this pit.

Then firmly told him the heavens warned him
every time he stepped towards this pit
yet he kept on blindly ignoring each sign
and finally ended up in dark pit of his deeds.

“We love you that is why I have been sent down.
Now get up and follow me step by step.
Above the hill of your own dark deeds,
back to the life which you discarded at your will.
