THE DAYS AND SEASONS OF MAN

.

Spring is akin to the dawn and morning
When all around is fresh and greener
To a man, it is the age of innocence
When life is filled with fun and games.
The heat of noon is the summer
Not a time for naps and slumber
When a man develops all his potentials
To confidently dance the next stage’s waltz.
Autumn is the late afternoon till twilight
The heat has mellowed, so is man’s delight
His strength is waning like the sun’s
Pray he’d spent his summer like the ants.
In the cold and darkness of evening
The storms, the freeze and fear that winter brings
Man’s tight grasp on life is fast slipping
All that remains are echoes of past dreams.

A GRASS OF GRACE

.

Did you know that the bamboo
Belongs to the grass family?
Why this is such I’ll never know
When we all see it as a tree
Tall, straight and sturdy.
Grass or tree does not matter
Coz this is one great Nature’s gift
To a world where humility is obsolete
In humbleness a true model it is
High and mighty yet remains grounded.
When the wind passes by, it whispers hello
Bows its leafy head, respect to show
To the power of a gale, it sways with grace
Strong and pliant, it never breaks
A display of endurance that men forget.
A lowly grass it is but in usefulness
Its neighbors can’t underestimate
For whatever use these mighty trees offer
As good lumber or even timber
It does the same and at times better.
