Fall Colors

All day, she was seen,

In lustrous green;

Pleasing to the eye,

Against the blue sky;

 

As a cool breeze blows,

She adorns a coat of orange,

To match the glittering sun,

Birds perch, in her long brown locks;

 

Now, she is such a sight,

Dancing in dazzling colors;

Then, she fades into twilight,

For a long winter night. 

Pioneer

Nature wants you,
To realize your,
Deep desire to discover,
New treasures, to uncover;

The road not taken,
It’s Highs and lows,
Make an exciting tale,
Love the journey;
 
The race to be first,
Winner takes all;
Victory lies beyond fear,
For the pioneer!

Drive

The energy that makes,

The universe expand;

That cosmic energy,

Is within you to expend;

It can neither be created,

Nor be destroyed;

Your drive can never go away,

Channel it in the best way;

Press the pedal,

Step up the gas,

Crank it up a notch,

Just shut up and drive!

Freedom

Spectacular plumage,

A thousand eyes flock,

To see the peacock,

Perched on a rock;

A raven flew from far,

Saw the spectacle,

Awed by the peacock,

Flew down to look;

The raven told the peacock,

"You must be the happiest bird";

The peacock said, with an amused look,

"I thought the same about you";

The raven was in shock,

The peacock remarked,

"Crowds gather to look

At me, inside a cage, while you are free".

Foundations

The bamboo seed,

Takes years to sprout;

When the shoot comes out,

Grows tall in rapid speed;

All those years spent,

To grow strong roots,

So you can start the ascent,

Patience bears fruit.

The Stoic

Nearer you get, farther it goes,

Don't chase, let it come to you;

Be the radiant sun that glows,

The trees will bend to see you;

Keep calm like the earth,

Of patience there is no dearth;

Indifferent to act of men, puny,

For it can react with fury;

Be like the river,

Go with the flow;

Being in the moment,

Is the real joy, you know;

Be cool and just chill,
Take the red pill,

Get into action when,

It matters, like a Zen.

End Game

An interesting game,

That goes far beyond;

Starts with an opening,

Millions of ways to the ending;

Stay safe in castles, you may,

Or take the attack to the enemy;

No straight path in sight,

Hop over like the Knight;

Keep going no matter what,

In one fortuitous move,

With persistence, even a tiny Pawn,

Can become the powerful Queen;

Sacrifices may be a bait,

To deliver the checkmate;

Moves, wiser and faster,

Makes one a Grandmaster;

March the squares black and white,

Ride life’s highs and lows;

Without the King it's game over,

Survival is the name of the game;

The ruthless art of war,

Indeed, is the art of life;

Being many moves ahead,

Wins you the End Game.
