Materialism

Materialistic pleasures are ripples in the water
       Seem elegant but vanish soon
Ripples will not prevail in the perpetual rain
      they get dispersed due to over flow
Non-materialistic pleasures are water in the sea
      Seem salty and briny but immortal
     They would never ever get drained

Bless you my dear, Supraja, for bringing it forth! Unfortunately the many go for the ripples! Excellent writing!

Simple pleasures are indeed abundant, Supraja. Just open one's eyes. Lovely poem:)
