Wrapped in white heavy snow
the tree still stands tall
bearing the weight of the season
it will endure and not fall.

The wind freezes the soul
sun shies away below the horizon
all animals gone, hidden in some hole
green becomes a shade only in a dream.

The day will come when once again
the squirrel will chase up the bark
leaves will rustle in gentle breeze
and kids will fill up the park.

Once again a tired traveler
will find shelter in it's shadow
the tree will again rise and glow
and reward the hungry for their endeavor.

The snow has stopped us all,
but the warmth is close by
when the world will be in motion
and for that fine day
the tree still stands tall
and
*it will endure and not fall
For a special someone who has to endure a season :)
You thrive in my heart and mind
as waves of life, go up and down
no amount of gold in a chest
needed to strengthen our bond by any kind

As kids, each day had eventful moments
things we had fun with
streaks of silly happiness, added to life
all flavors of spices and condiments

Pulling each other's legs, on stupidity
fighting, and racing on our cycles
betting on idiotic facts and ideas
but supporting each other , in life's turbidity

We went our ways ahead
molded ourselves in different worlds
though separated by miles, we were just a call away
hearing your voice, a simple reason to smile

In those times, when things look so bleak
clouds of trouble and confusion covers us
not knowing where to strike, which door to knock
you were there for me, not letting me feel weak

The joy of success
the urge to share, was
always with  you
far, yet so near

They say with time,
people change, but I know
you will value me
our friendship, much more than any dime

When this journey will end
at the beach, watching the sun set
silently, melting these life's memories
I will be glad, that I had you all along
as my precious **friend
Dedicated to all my close friends, wherever they are now.
In search of the diamond in the mine,

don't dig yourself up so much

and become hollow, that

you end up filling it with tears and wine.
Individuality and character is very important for any relationship to be stable.
I had a dream
on the road, I saw people scream
there was a little boy
sitting by the side, I saw him cry.

While everyone around was insane
like a good citizen, first I asked him his name
" I am Praful, take me to my mother"
with no idea whatsoever, I took the boy and set out for the quest

I felt I am in the matrix movie
dodging fire,stones and flying bottles, no better than a rookie
for me this was a new part of the town
and I had no idea where to go around

Relying on this boy for navigation
like he had any clue, my stupid imagination
I kept looking for a police van
but in vain, saw only angry howling men

suddenly, we heard a shriek
"Praful !! where have you been ?? "
that was the mother, and instantly the boy ran to her
and I thought its end of this bother.


holding the boy she came towards me with fury
"you rascal, trying to kidnap my son? "
the boy didn't try to explain
to him, in a moment, I became a strange someone

Helpless in this situation I ran,
again, for the police van
luckily, I found an officer
"Sir ! take me home, i don't know these roads"
"Son ! sit in my car, while I tackle these jumping, screaming toads!"
I ducked at the rear seat tensed
for I could see the mother looking for revenge

I got up, sat on the bed, what a nightmare I had
asked God, " I was just trying to help, was that bad?"
We are concerned people, sometimes in wrong place at wrong time
we try to make things right, unfortunately we don't succeed every time
How do we handle this stuff
Struggling for happiness
grimacing in pain
Life is always a bluff

Is it really so tough
To feel my thoughts
too see through my eyes
Life is always a bluff

I think I had enough
burden of silly expectation
and no scope for emancipation
Life is always a bluff

Its not the last laugh
We are known for our choices
and the seeds of happiness we sow
So should be our goal
But,
*Life is always a bluff
Again, its you on my mind,
brought to my face, a sweet smile
Come, let me embrace you warmly
give you my love of all kind.

The sky is red,
birds returning to their home
while I look dreaded,
I don't want to be alone.

The sun does burn me through the day,
but it heals my soul in the end.
I will love you forever, come what may.
Test me, whichever way you want,
as you can't stop my ascend.

In the day, the sea waves me goodbye,
but it returns with a gentle touch.
Come, let me embrace you warmly
at dusk, on the beach, here I lie.
In the evening, an unknown fear gives me a bite
Only at the beach, I find some respite
Hey!
you called that day?
Sorry I could not talk
was out for a silent walk.

The tree was cut,
to them it seemed alright, but
I felt the pain
seeing those buildings, price of human gain

The little boy had to sit
in evening, lamps were lit.
As I walked along the road
inside, by the window, saw him getting bored.

We want more milk,
we are nothing but of the same ilk,
It has become so difficult for the cow
what to eat, where to graze I wonder how?

Disturbed, frustrated, we are full of problems and anger
due to less of green, the most soothing colour
Its time for repair, to resurrect
me and you, my friend, to nature we must connect

So!
I had a talk
with nature on the silent walk
planted trees, in the earth deep
and then in my house at peace, i could sleep.
Its straightforward what I told
just that the content was too bold
not so simple that you can hold
please, don't turn cold
close your eyes, try to unfold
things we long ago have sold
Now *we have grown old

— The End —
