  Genial Current

When on our couch we lie
In the stillness of the night,
The soul from its slumber arise
It expresses its deep surprise:

On our follies of the dream day
On sand dunes the castles of clay,
Crafty crow mean business joins
It is busy in amassing clay coins.

Dedicated life of luxury and lust
Grind own axe in charitable trust,
Worldly grandeur goes with gust
Starts journey of the dust to dust.

From there a genial current flows
The world says your poetry glows.

C. P. Sharma

you have sprinkled the poem with a dash of humour and loads of wisdom.

its in the silence of the night, if at all we take stock of the day, we realise our follies, hollowness of our worldly pursuits.

very enlightening poem, Sir.

The follies of the dream day passes away.And in the stillness
of the night one can hear quite clearly the poetry of
the soul. May the music never end, C.P. Your last
couplet glows.10/10.

Always your friend,

Sandra
