Garland of Soul

No fancy words to please old or youth
Simple lyric silently speaking the truth

Form of art not learned through training
Flows all seasons be it drought or raining

Selfish motives can’t drive pen to write
Harder gets if done with tries and tried

Poetry is a painting seen with closed eyes
Narrated in words with truth as device

A child for a writer each of the creations
Caressed each hour with unsaid emotions

Imagery of life in things seen immortal 
Effort to turn pessimist side to chortle

Musing mingle of black-white syllables
Enclosing deep meanings in form of fable

Garland of soul created for one and all
Motive to save Humanity from fall…
