Lessons In Life Learned

The moment you get a blank page near your eyes Fill it with as many stars as you can Bring them out from your river and crimson clay At play inside your land and sea This is the first lesson I was taught by good earth That has helped me a lot towards Survival with delight from the sounds and colours Not possible to buy with dollars Ask why and how at every step you take forward Not faith but reason always be after Be sceptic and explore every sun moon and star And enjoy the dance of intellect Was the second lesson I learnt all along the road From the air and water I came across As I grew up with my changing world around me Changing me too thereby everyday A discovery of doors and windows toward beauty Lend your hand to one who needs it Kindle at least a dim glow in the dark for some eyes Draw out some thorn from a flower This I learnt from the path I traveled inhaling in joy The aroma of soil brick and dust While the first two always desired me up above for your stars The passion of holding your hand kept me close to your river _______________________________________________________ 12/02/2017
