Ravindra K Kapoor Poet Free verse

While watching the carvings on stone

 

While watching the carvings of Konark Sun Temple.
.
It was a rare occasion,
I was revisiting the Surya temple (Konark Odisha) and its beautiful carvings on stone,
After a gape of many decades.
I found that the sweeping waves of time 
had left nothing here without touching and mildly eroding. 
.
The shine and luster which used to enchant,
every visitor here was slowly declining. 
Even I too was not the same as I used to be. 

Then I realized that nothing in this mortal world is forever and forever.
The only thing,  which last is the beauty of our mind and soul, 
which grow and grow more,  
When we do good things for others and not everything for ourselves only, 
But it is a very difficult practice and it comes only, 
When we have love and kindness In our hears then jealousy and  cunningness.
