A teacher asked a student
To define life
The student had a knack
Of crafting new thoughts
Out of naught
He started to chant something like this
Yin-yang-yin
Yo-yo
Yo-yo
Yo
When yin sleeps
Yang wake-up
Yin yang yin
Yo-yo
Yo-yo
Yo
Together they fit
To form a whole
Yin-yang-yin
Yo-yo
Yo-yo
Yo
Opposite they are
But still seeking balance
Yin-yang-yin
Yo-yo
Yo-yo
Yo
Contrary but still
Not in opposition
Yin-yang-yin
Yo-yo
Yo-yo
Yo
Two aspects
Of a single truth
Yin-yang-yin
Yo-yo
Yo-yo
Yo
Rather than trying to replace each other
They transform into a single reality
Yin-yang-yin
Yo-yo
Yo-yo
Yo
The teacher listened
And got furious
Said with a sneer
I could not discern
Your babble your prattle
If you could yourself
Please mister nonsense!
The child turned crimson
But still had dare
He countered the teacher
By means of wit:
Life is a whole
With dual poles
If Yang is the light
Yin is the night
Yang bites yin
Yin bites yang
Both have to fleet
As they are on a flight
What then lasts!
Is yo-yo
Yo-yo
Yo
So dear teacher
Am I not right?

UNSAID.......UNHEARD
Nimbus cloud penetrating the sky
ready to pelt on thirsty soul
Bleak eyes like barren land
Watching the sky for ready to yield
But a sudden sweep of harsh wind
Air out the rain clouds
Leaving naught but vigil eyes
The time is not yet came to bear
ready to pelt on thirsty soul
Bleak eyes like barren land
Watching the sky for ready to yield
But a sudden sweep of harsh wind
Air out the rain clouds
Leaving naught but vigil eyes
The time is not yet came to bear
At the End of Day
Lying on the bed
Surrounded by crowd
She tried hard but
Could only give a faint smile
A forced smile
Far away someone was calling
Her by name
Looking around
Faces got dimmed
Noise no longer heard
Crowd blurred
She closed her eyes
For eternity
One life ended
Another began
Surrounded by crowd
She tried hard but
Could only give a faint smile
A forced smile
Far away someone was calling
Her by name
Looking around
Faces got dimmed
Noise no longer heard
Crowd blurred
She closed her eyes
For eternity
One life ended
Another began

Summer Breeze
Summer breeze-----a puff of air
Producing sounds like zoom……..swish……whiz
Branches brush and stems soar
Passing every ear some lore
Twisting, curling forming a tress
Showering each other with caress
Leaves singing mellow song
Every object is dancing along
Giddy brunches glide and glide
On every move they mutually collide
Every bird seems at ease
Conveying messages of love and peace
Chirping, flying and dancing on a tune
Everyone feel boon
Moving back n forth with glee
Nothing can be more beautiful to see
Producing sounds like zoom……..swish……whiz
Branches brush and stems soar
Passing every ear some lore
Twisting, curling forming a tress
Showering each other with caress
Leaves singing mellow song
Every object is dancing along
Giddy brunches glide and glide
On every move they mutually collide
Every bird seems at ease
Conveying messages of love and peace
Chirping, flying and dancing on a tune
Everyone feel boon
Moving back n forth with glee
Nothing can be more beautiful to see
