Courage....

-



Dying spirit
Falling hope
Closed doors
Day and night

Mind stops thinking
Heart hinders beating
One by one everyone is dying
Day by day every day is sinking

No warmth
No sunshine
No food to keep the breath alive
But still...
You make an effort

Courage is that
Which still keeps you thrive
In the deserted  life

Courage is that
Which makes you a winner
Even when you die!

(Inspired by Anne Frank Movie which I saw Yesterday)

A wonderful poem - drawn from a great inspiration - true enough if we live well..to the best of our ability, resources and strengths out deaths too can be dignified even if the circumstances are not..a fitting write for Holocaust Memorial Day

Ann Frank is definitely an example of courage....the kind 99% of the rest of us will never be called upon to summon up. I like the idea that courage is that which keeps you thriving.....indeed, without courage facing the trials of life, where would we all be?

Friends are like memories

Friends are like memories Some good… some bad Some sweet…   some mad True you can choose them But it’s they who decide…. to stay or leave Friendships are like cyclic process You meet …you mingle You treat…you part No one is permanent No one is life long They keep coming and going Some come for a season Some come with a reason Remember…they are like memories In fact …with time, friends become memories You evolve… Your thought evolve… Your memories evolve Bad may become good Good may be become bad…. Seasons do change…reasons may differ Remember… Friends are friends forever Friends remain in memories forever For Poets United Poetry Pantry #293

Mukesh is my favorite singer. And when I am young….specially during teenage days I use to madly listen to his songs. There is a kind of magic in his voice with inexplicable sadness…. That use to take me altogether to a different world. There are n numbers of Mukesh songs….which I know by heart and can sing along! But this one is like the ultimate…..Jaane Kahan Gaye Woh Din! Whenever I listen… there will be definitely tears in my eyes…. by the time the song is complete! The voice, the lyrics and the music….no match at all! And today I don’t know why? after long... long... time I just felt like listening to it! All those …who are sensitive at heart can listen and enjoy! Kyonki…. ”Baadhe saukyamane bhaavana raanevoy! AA yeruke nischalaanandamoy…Brahamaanandamoy”! Learn Telugu if you want to follow it!
