Calm And Quiet. Poem by Nabakishore Dash

Alone we say, but together
we talk whether we meet
or use phone.
Words can establish
and demolish relation
and association.

Relation and association
never require a beautiful face
and much wealth.
Extremely important are
unsuspicious calm words
and a loving heart.

Sometimes conversation
promotes commotion and
misunderstanding with
your counterpart.
Sugar in mouth does not
sweeten relation if one
does hate in heart.

This flurry would cause
brain dysfunction by
releasing adrenaline.
As a result one either
fights or flies jeopardising
relationship with our
kith and kin.

To circumvent such
embitterment, one
needs to learn to be
calm and quiet.
Even if much is to be
said, this technique
must be learnt to
start again the chat.
