Persist


 

In the middle of chaos,
all ready to collapse,
I stand in the midst,
engulfed by dense mist.

Doors everywhere I see
but none ready to open.
Knocking of no avail, for
it is not meant to be mine

Friends I see from far, 
faces many and sounds vary.
But far I should stay, if not
shatters the friendly guise.

Monsters lurk behind,
changing faces with time,
neither you nor I can change
unseen forces that drive insane.

I persist till the end,
to see the fruits of confusion
for every deed brought to end
what it sowed, so did it reap.

Words failed long before
images collapsed at the back.
Facts hidden deep within, 
tumbled out to cascade.

I am but only a mute spectator,
so is everyone now..,
for when nature takes its course
there is no recourse.

Forest of mighty old trees

Raising high to threaten the skies stand in attention, soldiers in rows. Their green heads swaying wildly brown arms open wide trapping light. Bursting out of mighty rocks arise the might banyan trees. Roots digging deep in to earth seeking water among rocks. Peels of bark stripped out by elephants that roam about. Tiny nests adorn their crown feeding creatures all around. Primitive men to tribal folks rested under its shady leaves. Lives on this silent witness watching evolutions fold out.

Native to this land

Dogs native to this land, high spirited friends of man. Love to be on their own, thriving in cities and farmland. Long forgotten by men of this land, roaming in groups along our streets. Shades of brown, black and white, with dirty paws and wagging tails. Alone they can never reside, with family and friends they prefer, forming groups, marking territories, ruling over streets and lanes. Never too rude and never too lazy, racing cars and chasing flies. Bathing in the warm sun all day, jumping into puddles of mud in gay. Give them food or water, ever faithful they will remain. Roaming all day long in the wild, returning back to rest by your side. .

Roam around the world

Roam around the world, O free spirit! Worry not, about home or belonging. Sand and stone that kiss your feet, belong to all, and not owned by one. Countries and states, mere lines drawn by men not on earth, but in their minds. Cultures change, habits vary, languages many among men. But spirits of all unite into one. Trust Nature, the mother of all to nourish and cherish every soul. Go with the flow, sing along with joy.
