Prayer for Peace

Hail O' Lord!
I adore you
For the stars that twinkle
The bloming flowers,birds that chirp;
The precious life that you give,
For my beautiful land
With a regardful hand.
Hope I
May love touch all realms
Let peace and brotherhood be in every heart.
May the day not come to hear
Pains and tears of grief
Mayn't a day be so near
To feel fear and unsafe to live.
May the day not come to see
Horrifying scenes in the street,
Blood splattered,people wailing
I pray to thee.
May there prevail
Peace and prosperity
For which I pray ever
You Almighty.

THE JOURNEY

Ripples on still and silent morning sea
Birds chirped merrily
Flowers bloomed by the roadside,
Golden rays scattered among the cloud rifts;
We went on our way without any concern
We weren't glad,played no songs.
Neither smiled nor spoke a word.
As arrows of time flew,we quickened our pace
T'was noon,doves cooed in shade.
Leaves withered and whirled
Farmers and shepherds rested in shade.
I lay myself by the water,
Stretched my tired limbs on grass.
My complaints laughed and scorned at me
Held their heads high
Hurried on without rest
Crossed many meadows,lakes and hills,
Until vanished into the blue haze.
Salute you ,host of interminable path!
Mocked and reproach pricked me to rise
Still no response from me,I was lost
Buried among the gloomy humiliations.
But,in shadow of dim delight,
Warmth of sunshine glistened my heart
Made me surrender my soul,
Forgot for what I travelled .
Awake I from the deep slumber,danced and sang
Hope flooded my dreams.
How fool I was to fear
The path was long and wearisome
And struggle was too tough on my way!

GLEAMING DREAM

  It seemed to be a drizzling night
  Fogs clothed the bony streets
  Yes,that's it!
  Dreams!Ah, a shore in solitude
  Like the two pearls from bluish eyes
  Me and my dreams-
  Roaring,growling and falling in dismay
  Too tired and wild
  Helpless and utter hungry
  The shadow carpets the golden frill.
  Suffocated and breathless,
  I jerk in fear.
  My dreams are moving away
  I shout,I howl.
  Found losing my existence in drizzle
  Fogs fastened my vocals
  I sprawl my arms in darkness
  Instantly I find-
  Thousand of glow worms charge
  Towards me.
  So,I recharged for the next battle
  And so I win
  Day after day
  Me and my dreams
  A struggling venture
