Mens Sana In Corpore Sano
sound mind in a sound body.
sound words in sound thoughts.
peaceful pond and the silent moon.
still air and still thoughts and leaves sticking
on the branches and flowers facing the heat of the sun
guiltless and proud and stubborn to live
thick grass faithfully spreading its evergreen blades
rivers running unstopped by drought and minds
keeping on with its own poetic creations
undeterred by sadness nay strengthened the more
loving life no matter what the consequences are
keeping the preciousness of every moment
not wasting a second for envy or hatred or indifference
no idle moment eyes sharpened to the changes of nature
deciphering the message of our existence
opening the meanings concealed on the folds of the nights
waiting and waiting till the ripe season comes
and leaving when the right hour comes no attachments
waving life like a flag and marching our feet to the victories
of our longings working as a team and winning at the end.
