Timid and mighty

                                  Slight may outdo the sizeable
                                  Nature is fascinatingly unique
                             Its sways and swings are astounding 
                                      Moon may hide the sun 

                             A damsel may win where duchess fail 
                            Not big and small, not high and low but
                           Chance, moment and providence prevail
                           Giant ship may sink, a tiny boat may sail 

                             All is worthy and valued in the nature 
                             Circumstances and contexts do matter 
                             Not the status, extent and magnitude
                             Bird’s choir may foil a singer on platter 

                           Starry night may outshine the bright sun
                             A timid solitary wisdom may overtake 
                              The coveted and assorted minds by 
                          exposing the mysteries, remained undone

                               A shy tiny bud lying in a forlorn pot 
                                   May catch the beholder’s eye 
                               Strolling in the garden full of bloom 
                           Soliciting the petals endearing his choice

                             The poise and serenity of cool breeze
                            Cradle of green trees and golden leaves 
                               May be million times more soothing 
                               Than the affluence of palatial room

                          On a wide lonely road in the summer noon 
                            Walking fast to escape the burning heat 
                        One can’t forget shadows of thoughtful trees 
                         And their compassion with which they treat
