A Walk in Heaven

Exams in mind; alone I walk,
No soul in sight; no one to talk,
Befell upon me bliss, indeed,
'Twas heaven aye, my stress it freed.

A long and empty road infront,
Serene it seemed. I wasn't as blunt
As was before on prior days,
Exceeded mirth, though on today's.

By shadows o'trees was striped the road,
That climb'd a bit. I slowly strode
To see the path approach a hole,
Across which cars and buses roll'd.

The hole was made of limbs of trees,
Behind which rose a buildin'. One sees
And sees ~ from whither towers it?
From yonder grows! post thinkin' a bit.

And all along the birds did sing,
T'the afternoon a verve did bring.
The trees just stood there holdin' the sky;
Beside the road there, they did lie.

Accompanied with apts and homes,
In harmony they stood as gnomes
Amongst the florae in a truce
And far from din, were all recluse.

A joy in mind; alone I walk,
A play in sight; no one to talk,
Befell upon me bliss, indeed,
'Twas heaven aye, my stress it freed!

बाळ आणि मानव

बाळ जिथे स्मित तिथे
वातावरणास उल्हासित करे

मानव जिथे चिंता तिथे
वातावरणात ताण आणे

बाळ जिथे एकोपा तिथे
वात्सल्याची विण गुंफे

मानव जिथे जाती तिथे
उच्चनीचता उदंड असे

बाळ जिथे काळजी तिथे
परहितचिंतन शिकवे

मानव जिथे असूया तिथे
अहमहमिकेत मग्न सर्वे

बाळ जिथे प्रेम तिथे
या प्रेमास पक्ष ठाऊक नसे

मानव जिथे वैरी तिथे
मतभेद तंटा चित्त जाळे

निष्पाप निरागस मन बाळाचे
जणू वाळवंटातला झरा
वाहू दे असाच अनंत प्रेमाने
नका करू प्रदूषित ह्याला !
