Yayati Madan G Gandhi 1
You are the light bearer
And I am the light seeker
Your radiant thoughts flourish and fall
As shower of blessings on us all
Tides of love created by you
Immerse all – make our lives anew
Man is mortal, but your words are not
Amber hearts will always cherish your thought’
Days will come and go with the flowing wind chime
Amity and Peace will go to the height – prime
Netizens, we are – of one universe
Gather here to enjoy your sublime verse
Grandeurs may dazzle our earthly eyes
Age-old wisdom will never compromise
Neither will it tell you lies
Divine thoughts will make us wise
Humble one, I am, roaming with my vice
In your poems finding life to entice
