The Land!

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!

 

The Land -

That is far, very far!

That is hot, very hot!

That is majestic and strong!

That is beautiful and big!

Salutation to thee, Oh Land!

 

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!

 

Who tread path of hatred,

Come and see here Love!

Who live with a small mind,

Come and see here Greatness!

Who care for no one,

Come and know here Affection!

 

This Land

Has kept its heart

Pure as Water!

White as Milk!

 

 

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!

Nayan i try to follow your work It ios so different from my own common work You are an enlightened soul .I like it I am a fan of rhythm and rhyme more though as i tend to understand musical melody in poetry more than i do spoken word
