Why Lament Poem by Dr. Madan Gandhi

Life is a dream
a dream within a dream
only for a little while there is sunshine
rest of the time sky is overcast with clouds

Yet amid every dark cloud there is a silver lining
a flash and a glimmer in the sky’s dark horizon
followed by nectar rain on parched earth
preparing the soil for a new crop

Why lament life’s transience
every one who is born must die
whatsoever happens is for human good
in all situations must not lose your soul’s calm.
(Yayati)
