Concordia

Little droplets trickle down my sunburnt skin...

Healing a burn, not just skin deep.

Soaking in the overcast sky

And the chilly wind 

Flowing through my tousled hair,

A web of lifely troubles and tribulations...

So tiny and puny,

Before the vastness surreal.

Look at the earth around you,

The self-healing ozone,

The fearless fauna

Rejoicing and owning the planet

As their own.

Feel the inherent rhythm

Drumming through your veins,

As the alveoli rejoice

a toxic less air.

Look within you.

Look within you before you engage

In mindless banters

& Incoherent behavior

Before you raise a finger

Or all five together,

Look deep.

Look deep within and introspect.

For you may find inner calm,

That you buried with unnecessary qualms,

A stronger yet softer self,

Glued to know it all pretense.

Release it..those tense muscle strands

As each takes up the responsibility

To heal oneself,

For letting go is an art, 

And to appreciate is to

find joy in the 'little' things in life..

Let go of caste, creed,

Push that social ladder away.

Because by embracing love and unity,

We can, but make this

A better place.
