A SILENT SELF

'Still water' always runs into the deep -

some unsaid words are true to keep.

Life, like a gypsy is always on the move -

treading on worries, we need to groove.

The past drags on as a caravan does -

progress is not to think, 'what once was'!

When the emotions of people are put to task -

how words are veiled, (one must ask)!

It's hard to know if one is doing well -

mask on mask, it's really hard to tell.

A sail-less boat taking a lifetime or more -

to reveal it's true self finally on the shore!

LIFE - AS IT IS...

Life is like a sea without its shores -

you push, pull and crawl on all fours.

Troubles like tides will toss and swell -

they reach their peak and thus they fell.

A mountain does not know it's very high -

so in life we ought to keep up the try.

An ocean doesn't know it's dark and deep -

and in life we have lonely secrets to keep.

Once green, a fallen leaf rots on ground -

in life despair and happiness swings around.

A diver will never knows what is in store,

until it reaches the mysterious ocean floor.

One who moves with flow is common man -

so try to wade against waves if you can.

Never be stagnant like rocks on a beach -

spread yourself to your farthest reach.
