EARTHLY SOJOURN

Around, the air was calm and still,
The silence broke with a clash of steel.
With a little cry from a distant ward,
The infant sings his first farewell chord.
Tis how the newly born,
Takes the first step in his earthly sojourn.
Soon he bids another farewell,
Of his lovely little cradle.
And emerges into a cribbing school boy,
outgrowing the merry of his little old toy.
Then he moulds into a bubbling youth,
Whose ambitions as warm as a hearth.
His aim the stars and goal the sky,
And so has a long way to fly.
Then,a day shall come, when....
even the oak shall turn to coal
But, leaves in it a kindly soul.
Like every dusk follows a dawn,
Every new born shall end his earthly sojourn

PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE

Tearning the womb of the clay

the little seedling has got to say,

I am the daughter of the earth

this is how I take my birth.

Though my creator has been a seed

which in turn is born to a weed,

I am the daughter of the earth

this remains the eternal truth.

When the wind blows with all its might

she hugs me soft and gently tight,

She aids me grow strong and bright

by feeding me all day and night.

Though on her wealth I thrive

as far as I am alive,

She weeps from the gulf of her heart

when I suffer you men's onslaught.

Thus, I am the daughter of the earth

whose heart as warm as a hearth,

I am her infinite source of mirth

this is the essence of my birth.
