I calm down



I calm down when see sea waves
Something from within urges and dares
“I must rise and fall” along with time
Calmness in mind is must sometimes

May be sea has vast belt below
That may not give you access or allow
So much treasure is beyond reach and hidden
No one can judge or think of it even

You can't reach eyes up to its far end
Gigantic show appears to us as friend
I admire its coolness with respect
So much impressive to inspire for the act

I sit on the beach with wide and open eyes
It reminds me of failure with consistent try
Waves rise in mind but subside next moment
I try to find reason but fail to comment

Yes, life is at cross road too
Not at each angle you can be called honest and true
It has its own course to unsettle
You got to swim across with troubles

I am not dejected or discouraged
Rather well prepared to face and manage
Many of us may find whole of their life as utter failure
But something can be spoken with confidence for sure

Not all fishes survive in the ocean
Someone may grab and swallow often
This is nature and goes on with ups and down
Let us think seriously and positively own

I have lot more to perform yet
It is not in my hand but can be termed not as late
Luck can not be aligned with fate
Some of the terms really offend and irritate

am an ex-serviceman from Indian Air force. I joined Oriental Insurance Company and retired from there too in May, 2007. I have been graduated from Punjab University. I hold technical qualification like Diploma in Radio/engineering .I have done English and Hindi stenography as well. I had mastered the art in Morse telephony too. I am associated with several welfare organizations and served long time as Union leader too. I am at present working as hobby writer. I write poems on various subjects and invite suggestions from all the quarters. I have written one memoir named “As I see it” and ready for publication. One interesting part of writing I would love to share with all my reader friends. I am not sure weather it may be the same case with all as I do not want to be caught in any controversy. When I sit on my personal computer, there is absolutely no thought in mind as to what is to be picked up as thought and written. These all things I leave it to the discretion of almighty to fill my mind with relevant ideas. So far I have been graced by Him and as result able to compose about 4000 poems. I have be awarded with 4 achievement award from the www.ezinearticles.com for successfully meeting with their standard. I am writing on many sites so as to be associated with reader friends all over the world. I am thankful to all those who have supported me in my initial days. more…
