Big City Life

Big city life
Amidst tall skyscrapers
Outreaching one another.
Of swanky cars,
With seats of leather.

The big city life
Dreams the little man
From all other land.
Enchants the mind,
Its aura so grand.

Oh, big city life
Of  honking slow traffic
And the hurried citizen.
Here rules Ka- Ching;
Forgotten, are masters of Zen.

Dear, big city life
Glittering through the night,
Oblivious you are, to the Stars above.
Blinded forever,

To peace and to love - Poor big city life!

A Stream Of Silver

A stream runs
Not deep but long

Towards far, far away.
Passing through, passing across
Never to stop or stay.

A stream so clear
Glistening and pure
Revealing its path under.
Gliding over both big and small
T'is a tiny crystal wonder.

And flown, it has
For all this time
Through the dark and light.
And seen, it has, many a moons
Glowing in the starry night.

Not one knows
Of its origin
Nor anything of its end.
For it is a stream of tears of
A soul unable to mend.
