The Buoyant Appreciation

How reassuring is the power
Of this word!!
The word when struck
Makes us smile and dance with pride
To the carillon
Of self-belief and confidence!!

The word that makes us fall
In love with oneself
Boosting up our morale
To perform a medley
Of being better than yesterday
And to strive to be the best tomorrow!!
Oh!! How reassuring is the power
Of this word---“Appreciation”!!

Cry For Peace

Far away
I hear an ethereal sound
The shrieks of a baby
Not wanting to be born
In this insouciant world

The cry is for peace
The word that has lost its relevance
To bloodshed and brutality
In the name of justice
For oneself and ones community

The cry is for assurance
Of letting them smile and love
Of letting them cherish each moment
Of letting them live life
With pride and dignity
Irrespective of their region and religion
A craving to be quenched
Only on this planet
And by this planet!!
