Glass
From the time my awareness of day-to-day things began,
I have been apprehending your part in my life, dear glass;
In the form of a bottle or tumbler or window pan,
As a spectacle or mirror, our life you encompass...!
In temples or churches or miraculous monuments,
As windows or glass doors or transparent walls or façades,
Humbly or glamorously, you are on all continents,
You enhance human existence in all colorful shades...!
We ignore your favors, like in the case of a mother,
As artists behind the curtains, you serve us silently;
Like the elements - earth, air, water, fire, and ether,
Though we take you for granted, you perform your tasks gently...!
Crystal clearly is your existence and benevolence,
You are humble amidst your universal prevalence...!!!
