ekta | Poem

 
(untitled)

Near the fruity tree lies his grave,
He who died for a loaf of bread.

Time you walk round the watch,
Moon round the earth,
Earth around the sun;
We are all to follow; my son
You walk around me,
Round you shall walk your son.

Like drops in river,
So do desires in mind,
Rise and succeed,
On the command of time.

- Ms. Ekta K. Kalra
