The Shoes
one step followed the other
Tuck, tuck on the ground
the favorite pair of shoes
lovingly bore my weights
in different 1scales
giving comfort and joy
for innumerable seasons.
its enduring sacrifice!
After thousands of foot steps
synchronizing the heart beats!
Now it had to be halted
as the shoes bore holes
and no cobbler could make it whole.
Help beyond expectations
the truth now revealed
journey had to end forever
Life;s destiny followed its path.
War against a tiny Intruder
War against a tiny intruder
Tiny spider crawling,
An enemy in my room!
My tapping feet to scare it off yield no result
Running his heart in the mouth
Suddenly froze into death.
Motionless, it watched my steps.
My eyes focused on it.
My feet remained rooted
The tiny enemy .remained frozen in eternity
I became an impatient onlooker,.
The gravity of war heightened
A changed strategy was all I needed
.
My feet moved toward it,
The creature acknowledged the oncoming danger
Ran as fast as it could and
Hid by the side of the mat.
Seeing its desperate attempt to save its life,
.My decision to leave it alone
Was now the only choice,
I had no skill to communicate with it
That my intention was to let it out of the room
without a pinch of harm.
It was left alone by the side of the mat
But my inquisitiveness brought me to the spot
And found it gone from its hiding place,
Climbing up on the white wall
it rested with a sigh of relief.
With a peace of soft tissue paper in hand
The tiny spider was picked up carefully
And flipped it off the tissue outside the house.
As if breathing like a thunderstorm
It ran away toward the cover of the grass.,
The tiny creature won the war
It gave me the enlightened vision
That for every living being
Life is as precious as anyone else.
