Manushya Puthiran

For A Miracle

I waited for a miracle
It didn’t happen

The omens say
there will be no more miracles

But it’s happening
all the time
the one moment before the miracle

A moment  
that keeps announcing
just one more moment

FOR A MIRACLE

For A Miracle

I waited for a miracle
It didn’t happen

The omens say
there will be no more miracles

But it’s happening
all the time
the one moment before the miracle

A moment  
that keeps announcing
just one more moment
