The Train

Excerpts from my poem 'The Train'

A Poem by Nayan

Exactly what I felt while going home after a long long time!

The Train - that will relieve us of tension,
The Train - that will give us sweet memories,
The Train - that will remove our fatigue,
The Train - that will give us hope,
This is the Train - that will take us home!

Fast shifting trees and shrubs,
Browsing through fields and farms,
Like a runner in a race,
Seeing nature’s beautiful face!

...

Seeing through the Windows of Hope,
The future that beckons us, and the difficulties we must cope,
The journey, and the vehicle to ride,
The Train teaches us all, with a scope so wide!

The Land!

Excerpts from "The Land"...

A Poem by Nayan

Doesn't a person ever feel a sense of gratitude and love for the place that gave him(her) his(her) identity?

-->

The Land –

That gave shelter to a creation!

That gave meaning to a life!

That gave stick to a blind!

And that gave wings to a bird!

This is the Land before which I bow!

...

-->

Flight of Hope!

Buddha of Patience!

Ocean of Greatness!

Sky of Affection!

All is seen in you, Oh Land!

Unknown and unseen, yet recognised and loved!

Harming something, yet given a place in the heart!

Saving a life from being wandered and lost!

Nurtured, cared, and given opportunities of gold!

Alas! This life could not be born on this Land!

...

-->

Pearls of Wisdom!

Prophets of Peace!

Where else can one get

Tranquility with ease?

The Land which was not known before,

The Land which was not seen,

I lift its dust and place on my forehead!

Worshiping the Land is what all I mean!

YOU!

A Poem by Nayan

Have you come across someone who changes your heart, the way you think, you life, and you yourself? Don't you think that, that 'someone' comes at different times and as various persons in our lives!

-->

I am not what I was

Two years back

But for You!

You made me feel

What is Affection!

You made me know

What is Care!

You made me realise

...


-->

Angry I was, as I was rude

Stupid I was, as I was harsh

So indifferent and so cruel!

Not to strangers

But to my own!

You showed to me

What is Light!

...



-->

Who loved me,

And whom did I hate?

...

Who blessed me,

And whom did I curse?

YOU!

...



-->

Death I saw, then I saw Life!

Hate I lived, then I lived Love!

Stone I was, and then I became Water!

And two years after, I am much better!

...



-->

No one, No one can see

The changes in me

Are because of thee

Greatness personified in the Almighty!

Sweetness that touches your heart!

Silence that knocks your door!

Beauty that encompasses your thought!

Serenity that enthralls your body!

...



-->

Whatever relation there be

Between You and Me!

My sister! My mother! My father! My friend!

You gave direction to my emotions!

You gave meaning to my life!

And I

Need no longer gifts with a price!

Already I have plenty

Countless and Priceless in YOU!
