Beauty And Duty Poem by Khirod Dalpati

BEAUTY AND DUTY

Way beyond, along my life's path
As I was travelling all alone
Joined a fairy at the start
Singing for me a beautiful song.

She took me by her hands and walked
Through the beautiful hills and dales,
She showed me the places around
And told the stories of lovely tales.

I was taken by the way she looked
Her lovely eyes that gazed,
Her hair fell from her head to knee
At her voice was I amazed.

Her smile opened every petals of morn
Her walk was that of an angel,
So soft and slow along the valley
Where I didn't even fear any danger.

Life was filled with flower and gems
Until she let me along the gates,
I kept on dreaming for hours together
From the time when she had left.

As I laid on my bed at eve
I dreamed of life, it was beauty,
When I woke up in the morn
My watch reminded me, It was duty.
