The Sun Is There To Rise

Door arrives door disappears
Door deprives door shares
Had doors been toward one way only
Life would have lost its lustre

With one hand life provides
With the other life robs us
Life sometimes brutally divides
Some other time it is Mother Teresa

When my doors closed several times
I wept but didn’t stop reading poems
My chromosomes of hope kept me supporting
Till a shaft of sunlight brought new doors 


The deep green Neem tree in my dream garden
Went into a dizzyingly birdless  gloom
Leaves and flowers brutally plundered
Roots torn asunder in my room

But again one day the spring sun stopped by
Clouds called at its door with shower
In the windswept branches came contentment
Now I hug it in a happy deep breath

The Sun Also Arises above happy and unhappy people, above famous and ordinary people who live in our heart. Some know to to the good, some may receive the good and some see how beautiful is the good.Congrat.
