The Uncontrived Poem by Ravinder Kumar Soni

Do not close the door
After you leave my room,
There are people
Waiting outside to meet me
To narrate their tales
The same way you did;
I am their elder too.

Our life's journey is
An experience of pain and joy
With no level field around
Where we can play
The game of ‘Hide and Seek',
Loaded in our favour
When the blind can see.

Resilience is the key
That closes and opens old chests
To hide the outdatedness and rot
Which both are incurable
Dangerous maladies.
Fear does not cure pain,
And joy cannot be restrained.

Light and darkness,
Ephemeral substances are a pair,
They do not countermand
Each other but highlight traits,
Whereas one leads, the other overwhelms.
My room receives daylight,
Darkness remains in the shade.

The lessons I impart
Seem difficult to comprehend,
The easy way sought is difficult
Seldom not frustrating,
But the road is crowded,
The other side is reachable;
Make a try.
