Be it charm
be it harm
it is in a swarm
that brings never a warm
not surely a balm
as in the storm
we get no calm
very much out of form
not within the specified norm
having to survive in prescribed proceed
that be of great diligence in the need.
Know a poet
who lived in a land
not known to many
being a small hamlet
with no amenities
say that be modern
living in a big house
traditional and big
built amongst nature’s bounty
with trees and plants around
living all by himself
with a few sincere friends about
ate when he liked
slept when he wished
not governed by time
passing hs days
looking at the beautiful sky
and cherishing every moment of it
that got transcribed in his verse
sustaining the vigour and trance
that he experienced all through his life
Great be his likes
pure and clear
like the sky
he sees all through.
The feel of having lived long
all through the winds fair and foul
having been tossed by tides good and bad
all been seen in the skin and face
that no physical work was there all too
undergone a mental battle in a cross
nothing came to hand in an easy mode
even to pick a needle small
had to bend and strain the most
as to get hold of one’s own
had to struggle to get a tiny piece
which also ebbed in the final throw
that has been all the life
seeming to be long and winding
not similar to the way I have lived
but to get away in a wink
and that be the end of me.
