If you go down to the woods some day
you'd better beware better take care on the way
look where you walk mind how you go
one thing's for certain you never know
what's waiting none-too-patiently there
guaranteed it's no teddy bear
you may be on the receiving end of a grizzly
if bitten by such it's ghastly if not grisly
so keep a look out with both eyes
or you’re certainly sure of a big surprise
yet should an aroma waft your way on the breeze
from up ahead between the trees
no shades of grey but black and white
roving about throughout the twilight
watch them roam yet rarely in pairs
don't let them catch you unawares
but one misconception I must debunk
tomato juice won't neutralise
the pure pervasive essence of skunk
what is the true pattern of consciousness in this immense universe?
how far into the overwhelming breach has awareness been dispersed?
in the depths of exhaustion, the dark silent stillness nourishes me
universe is full of entities which act surreptitiously
from ignition, our sun has shown each second of every cosmic day
particle exchange has long been the source of our universe's headway
those traits which exemplify humans have uneven distribution
we reside in the crucible of universal evolution
constant flow within our cosmos is mainly a matter of valence
we expand level of consciousness through reality's surveillance
earthly prophets proclaiming simplicity makes words more persuasive
biota which our planet has generated became invasive
providing sudden realization existence is pervasive
Small a lesson though
But great to remember
The virus will be
Gradually defeated
Vanish sooner or later
And we learn with great sacrifice
Sometimes the world must be
Resemble the virus's behaviour
Classless
No boundaries
Globalised
Regardless of race
No racial discrimination
No rich or poor
And so man learn to share......
Who is teaching us the lesson
The pervasive virus
Our Almighty God
Or the greedy mankind himself......
I wonder
In grandeur, a leaf of grass is no less high
Than all the glittering stars in the sky
There is beauty alike in weed and reed
When each fulfills Nature’s need
The low and the high thus in equal glory stay
When their respective roles they fairly play
When perception turns to levels transcendental
Everything will appear exponentially beautiful!

A Strand(1048) Poetry Contest)
In the burnt barren wasteland
Once a graphic garden
I rise from the arms of ashes
A fortified sapling
Split the crevasse of desolateness
Where I bloom a solitary rose
A pervasive singularity of creativity
Enclosed within the sublime soul
Fathomless as the cosmos
Timeless as the eternity
I unfurl for you in essence
The beauty of the universe.

There's a plant in my garden,
Looks like a tree.
I didn't plant it,
But I watered it, you see.
There's a plant in my garden,
With roots running deep.
It's sucking the life
Right out of me.
There's a plant in my garden
That's bigger than me.
I didn't plant it,
But I watered it, you see.
A-s man dominates
O-ne big planet Earth somehow,
S-till nature controls.
