The Life of a Road

The Life of a Road    How black and bright Is the road when it’s new. This black will become light On it when feet and tyres grew How bright is the road when  it’s new!   Will it be the same sight When the first rain Showers from the height! Yes How bright is the road When it’s new!   What will be its plight When the sun shows its might Melt  the tar slight Making it hot for feet with no wear How bright is the road when  it’s new!   On it falls the lamplights When the streetlights too light The black beauty will glow How bright is the road when  it’s new!   Oh! what a delight To see the black in the headlight when it carries vehicles through How bright is the road when  it’s new!   Sometimes it becomes a spotlight When politicians socialite In all its view How bright is the road when  it’s new!   The black  becomes a different sight When cows rest overnight And sit through How bright is the road when  it’s new!   When black reflects the moonlight Oh! What a sight To walk away your blues How bright is the road when  it’s new!   There comes a blight With wear and tear When potholes chew How bright is the road when  it’s new!   When stone and sand are supplied When tar and gravel are applied  the black  is again new How bright is the road when  it’s new!

Do Everything with Awareness

                            Do Everything with Awareness

   

Awareness is a concern about and well-informed interest in a particular situation or development.Many times we do things with focus on end result rather than on the process.This poem isa an effort to emphasis the readers on doing whatever they do with 100 percent involvement

Whatever you do Do with awareness In all  its fairness For it works for your wellness
	Awareness is a perception Let’s do things with cent per cent connection Without any deflection To attain perfection
Awareness is a concern Let us not ignore For it may overturn And may lead to a slow burn
	Awareness is a knowledge For us to manage Without any leakage To avoid any wreckage
Awareness is an interest For the things entrust Where we stand a witness To mind our business
	Doing things with awareness Keeps you in the present The focus is on the process And not on the result
Doing things with awareness Will make you insightful It will give you direction To just do and be successful

Use words with Care

                  Use words with Care       

Words are full of power

They can empower

Words are Superpower

They can build great power

Words are full of power

They can be spiteful

Words can  make one feel shameful

They can be stressful

Words are full of  power

They can be painful

Words can be hurtful

If one is not careful

Words can bring Hope

Words can cause despair

Words can awake or shake

Words can make or break

Words can show mindfulness

They can make one delightful

Words can show thoughtfulness

They can make one blissful

Words can nail the heart

They can pull one apart

Using words is an art

Deserving alertness on one’s part

Words can pierce the Soul

Every word has a role

Which when told

Does have a hold

Words have life  in them

They can entice or capsize

Words can cause a strife

They can sometimes reconcile

Words have their own ways

They can be a complement

Words can spark an argument

They can also form crucial part of a document

Words have their own ways

They can spin a poem

 Words can make one feel dumb

They can bring about esteem

Words can create vibes

Positive or negative

When positive can work wonders

Why use the negative?

Words Once let out

Cannot be drawn in

Take some time to spare

Use words with care

Come, Let’s laugh

                  Come, Let’s laugh   

            

The giggling sound of the laughter spread I could feel my heart go mirth The rush of pink on my cheeks I was laughing my heart out

I was laughing my heart out For it was a chat with my childhood friends The meaningless laughs for not a cause Oh! What a feel it is to laugh

Oh1 What a feel it is to laugh A sudden voice with decibels high ‘Are you out of your senses’ quietened me with a bit of tension

It quietened me all a sudden The pinky rushes of cheeks was gone As if the joy of soul was stolen Striking a query in my mind,, ‘Is it a sin to laugh?

Is it a sin to laugh? Said Charlie Chaplin the king of laughs ‘A day without laughter Is a day wasted’

Laughter is the best medicine said Solomon Why can’t it be followed by everyone For laughter has its own health benefits To create a general sense of well being

Come , Let’s laugh to our heart’s content Come, Let’s laugh without any dissent come, Let’s laugh to feel good all over come. Let’s laugh to nourish the soul

Everything will finally make sense

                        Everything will finally make sense   

                                   

Everything in life happens for a reason It is beyond the cycle of season It is of course for some unknown reason Many times we find it hard to sequence
	Everything in life happens for a reason Some say it is our karma For as we sow so we reap
Everything in life happens for a reason Some say it is due to our thought process For our thoughts become what we are
	Everything in life happens for a reason Some say it is to teach us life lessons For the learnings help us improvise
Everything in life happens for a reason Some say it is to change ourselves For there is nothing permanent but change
	Everything in life happens for a reason To make us realize that things are ephemeral And Problems don’t stay perennial
Everything in life happens for a reason To overcome the setbacks in one’s life And to  add meaning to one’s life
	Everything in life happens for a reason Sometimes it may give fathomless pain The reason may be to make one gain
Everything in life happens for a reason It may be to realize one’s  ignorance So as to work for one’s attunement
	Everything in life happens for a reason To stop one from blame games in life And own responsibility for things one strives
Everything in life happens for a reason To heal  and to make one strong To make one  a better person and transform
	Everything in life happens for a reason It is beyond the cycle of season Everything will finally fall in place Everything will finally make sense
