Floating Life
We
are in the ocean of time
So
digging the earth for root,
With
spade or pen to make rhyme
For
food or perpetual peaceful mood.
Life
like a bee of the blooming flower
One
is provider and the other receiver of treasure,
There
is neither inner strife nor political power
What
is called reciprocal requirement and pleasure.
Like
every arrow of the archery bow
We
all came from the same source,
Though
everyone is different from then to now
Despite
defects and difference we overcome all remorse.
Life
flows like a fountain among the mountain
To
melt with the fair and foul of the undefiled sea,
There’s
nothing in between to sustain
Close
eyes to see the celestial key.
Life
like a shadow of the sky upon water
To
mirror the paradise on the earth,
Nature
endeavours the satanic souls to shatter
Or
sow a seed of unity for angelic birth.
Poor Pillar
I
A
child asks to mother, pillar! pillar! why are you poor?
You
will be rich, no poor any more.
Why
do you sacrifice your entire life in chain?
You
will never be the same again.
Why
do you serve others every day and night?
You
should be aware and must do fight.
You
have dreams to reach at the top,
But
neither you take money nor do any job.
You
are designed to love the others,
When
strangers become your parents and brothers.
You
care all from dawn to dusk,
Hiding
your ambition by wearing the mask.
How
many days you will remain silent?
Look
at the people who are always violent.
Pull
off your shell to show hidden self,
Let’s
the world recognise you with respect and pelf.
II
Mother
replies to her child with affection,
Dear
soul, listen to me in adorable attention.
I
am a tree on the whole earth,
Money
can not waver it’s valuable birth.
They
may cut branches, unroot my rooted nightmare,
Like
river I grow through torture and flooded tear.
My
love and devotion is so deep like root,
To
provide you shelter along with fruit.
Birth
and death is same like sea and river,
It
flows towards conjunction of God’s favour.
