Peace

A river is reborn when it floods

Human sorrow lessens everytime

Someone cries and is comforted

Happiness fills the heart 

When comparisons cease

Devotees tire of their gods

Find new ones to praise

The old ones used to adulation

Die slowly of starvation

One who knows what fame is

Is wary of it though it comes unbidden

Remembers the freedom of anonymity

When time casts him aside like a plaything

Let peace come before night falls.

Quotable quotes

It is love that makes a doll live

Curiosity pushes a child forward

Faith turns stone to god

White clouds are beautiful

Only the dark ones bring rain

Sweeter than silence itself

The hare and the tortoise

Live their lives at their own pace

It's man that pits them in a race

Mythology cannot become history

Even if textbook lessons are written of

Incarcerated leaders flying out on bulbuls

To visit their motherland across the sea

Yesterday's truth is today's falsehood

Light can now be both a particle and a wave

Gravity cannot keep us bound to earth.

Dragonflies

 The sun stirring out after

Two days of relentless rain 

Seems to have softened up 

After all the hours of hiding

I stretch my hands to catch

Its yellow glow on the skin

To soak up the nutrition 

That doesn't have to be paid for

The dragonflies too are out 

Too many to be counted

Hovering two storeys high

Their wings glinting in the light 

What is there to wish upon them?

When the sky gives when it has to

What else is there to wish for?
