A Frolicking Spirit
Overflowing with curiosity
Is amazed to see
Our languished faces, constantly
Why are you So sore,
Why are You so worried?
Look at my enchanting eyes
Look at my baby steps
My toddling courage
Is simmering with hope
As I see the world
Full of relentless possibilities
‘Impossible’ is just a word
I am beginning to mould
I am your hero
I am you reason
‘cause my giggling joy
Is a magical charm
Extinguishing you miseries
When I flaunt my tiny arms

Quarantined in a room
With many smiling friends
Bob asks me to sit,
“Forget your worries, kid”
Simon loves to spin
Blowing air with a grin
He loves to keep me cold
A brother whose story untold
There’s a Mattress
In the room
Who loves to make me sleep
A mother’s lap to see dreams
A world full of souls
A book-shelf full of stories
Friends like Bob the chair
Selfless Simon, the fan who dares.
Loneliness is just a myth
For me, it’s all about grit
There’s a life in every corner
There’s a world inside a room

A nightmare stretching
Reality fading to illusion
Hopelessness taking a toll
On all the melancholic souls
Craving for a crack
To seep into a deep Slumber
Where the aching souls
Cleanse their burning core
May this ordeal
Squeeze in time
And when we wake up
We see the other side

A Billion hopes
Align with a single thought
Ignited straight
From the heart.
Can we make it
To the other side?
Or lurk in the darkness
Forever, till we are gone?
This is a war
Of all of us
A war of light against
Darkness!

Your First step outside
To a familiar realm
Like a forlorn child
In the womb
Ecstatic to be born again
A new world
Whose serene beauty
Warms and caress
Your restless face
And your tormented core
Yes you are
Enchanted towards
This Majestic nature
And being euphoric
To step outside again

Sick, suffocating
The world looks so gloomy
With the congestion inside
Am I seeing clear blue skies
And fresh air soothing
The creatures outside?
Maybe I’ve built a barrier
Hindering the winds
To cleanse my inside

Far from their families
For the sake of humanity
Angels are working
To keep the hopes alive
Hiding their bruises
Itching their burns
They are walking on embers
To keep the hopes alive
Gods among us
The sages of humanity
Sacrificing their lives
On the alter of humanity
Their stories will be told
Their tale of sacrifice
Forever they will be remembered
As Angels of humankind
(These Angels are Doctors, Health workers, officials and Bankers)

Towering inferno
Encapsulated the bushes
The world became red
From the blazing fire
The bushes choked
With the suffocating smoke
Creatures charred
And animals screamed
Man, It’s all your greed
Grief of nature
Will never be silenced
So here we are
Facing the revenge
Wrath of the dead
Anger of the bushes
It’s weapon is Corona
And the man
Is running for cover
Mother nature had enough to retaliate. Recently we witnessed bushfires in Australia that killed so many animals and creatures that horrified so many of us.
It’s all because of us, Global warming is our deed that is resulting in such disasters. But mother nature is not weak, it has It’s own mechanism to teach us a lesson. We are now facing Corona Virus pandemic, wrath of nature.
I hope we all recover from this and also learn from our mistakes. This should open our eyes and change our attitude towards mother nature.
Our fight is on, stay safe people!
