Sthithapragjna

There is no learned man in here
...no Sthithapragjna!
Ephemeral wisdom
vanishes when naked truth dances 
before one's eyes
in blood and flesh.
All sermons stop
at that moment of joy or pain.

And lo, tears have no feelings...
they always gush out 
with the same enthusiasm 
to explore the cheek-deserts
for time-etched changes
...old dimples, erased creases
and nascent dunes!

But roiled waters don't remain
roiled for ever!
A wait in silence
at the slushy shore
never goes a waste!

Waters again start mirroring 
your thoughts and hope!
