THE PEACE AND HARMONY

Why an aloofness
Persists in human beings
Why we confine ourselves
In self built castle
We create around ourselves
A protection cell
Like tortoise
Brimmed with insecurity
And disbelief
Retreat ourselves
In that protective cell.
On hearing stranger's steps.

Once, just once
Cross the wall of disbelief
Share woe and weal of strangers
And demolish the wall.

Just become the brick
That will be used
Not in wall,
But constructing bridge
The art of living
Will follow
Spontaneously

Peace will prevail in your mind
Peace will reign the whole Universe.

Let faith be your guiding star,
To aspire harmony and peace
So that we breathe in congeniality
And unite world wide.

THE SUN IS SAME

The Sun is same,
But the radiance
Is new daily.

Same are rivers and streams
But daily fresh water flows.

Though same is our life.
Don’t get stagnant.
Daily endeavour
To tread new paths
And explore
New horizons.

MUSK DEER

Entrapping scent of musk
In himself
Confused was wandering
Musk deer

Ocean of happiness
Confined within himself
Was moving betrayed
In all the four directions
