The Parting
Whiteness was separated from blackness.
The intensity of the cold had reached its peak.
The day was in its early stages.
There were many crows flying over my head.
Some of them were on the ground and some were in the air.
They were writhing in agony.
I felt like they were grieving someone.
I took two steps forward
So saw that two crows were lying dead on the ground.
And the rest of the crows were mourning their parting.
They made the whole atmosphere mournful.
It was most likely that they lost their life due to electrocution.
There was a great unity among them.
The burial phase was carried out in a very good manner.
They seemed satisfied with destiny
And did not blame anyone else
Despite being a beast and speechless
Their love and sympathy can be well estimated from this style of theirs.
And how compassionate and sensitive we are to each other as human beings.
That murderers of innocent humanity deserve reward.
A Fox
It was eve and the sun was about to set,
The birds had not reached their nests yet.
There was a fox in a narrow gorge,,with sharp claws,
He had pointed snouts, triangular ears and powerful jaws.
Had physical features such as keen Senses and looked clever,
When making a decision,he used to follow " not now then never".
He traped the ignorant and foolish in his talk,
In morn and eve,,he usually go for a walk.
Was adept at dodging the enemy with bushy tail,
Knew how to play in the rain, snow and hail.,
Had sound body, black eyes and was very intelligent,
He was skillful,very smart, fragile and decent.
His vision was one step forward and one step back,
He understood the clear difference between white and black.
He considered failure as the first step towards victory,,
He is known as wise and cunning in history.
The Moon
At night,I see the moon,
Looks Like a beautiful balloon.
Its color is silver white,
Presents a charming sight.
Sitting silently,in the sky,
Smiles at me and rely.
With joy,spreads its light,
Which is why I feel delight.
In a season of hotness and cold,
It is friend of children and old.
It neither eats not drinks,
Sometimes expands and shrinks.
Shares love and avoids hate,
Sometimes appears early and late.
BI wish I were a nightingale,
I wish I were a nightingale,
Flying all day over hill and dale!
Looking down on the many faces of earth,
In search of those who suffer agonies since birth.
And I would sing to them a mellow song,
Make them happy, end their sadness long.
In search of such sufferers I would fly again,
To ease the sufferings of victims of pain.
Never Say Die
Twinkle twinkle my lovely star,
Although from me, you are very far.
The star says, 'I despite my remoteness,
For your victory I look I confess.
Seek knowledge young friend and work hard,
That is man's destiny from birth to graveyard.
Shine for ever like me, never say die,
Truth your shield shall be never lie.
Nature And Peace Of Mind
Due to the intense heat,trees were depressed.
Water in their veins had dried up.
I saw the lake of blue and clear water.
On the shore of which there was a green banyan tree.
Which was very dense and spread far.
Some branches were kissing the forehead of water.
I was drenched in sweat.
There was sand on the shore of the lake.
I picked up the sand in my hands.
And scattered on a small part under the tree.
Then sprinkled water on the sand and spread the sack.
And lay down
Put your elbow on the ground and put your head on top of your hand.
After a while the sweat dried up.
I was feeling cold.
Felt freshness in my imagination.
White herons were swimming in it.
Birds of different species were resting in their nests in the tree
Suddenly a thirsty deer came running.
And from near me,
He jumped into the water of it.
Due to which water splashed on my face
I grabbed the hanging branch and started swinging the swing.
Sometimes I would go up and sometimes down.
The breathing was up and down.
And I was having fun.
Immediately,I was lost in my childhood memories.
The peace of mind that nature gave me for free.
A king cannot attain such peace even by living in a palace of gold.
