Taking rest

tired sun –  slipping into west,

tired day –  resting on night’s lap,

tired waves – taking rest on the bay,

tired clouds – having nothing to say,

tired souls – lying on the beach,

horizon seeking colourful strokes,

on the place where sky n sea meet…

rocks stand still like – promises we made..

taking rest from busybee lives…

Rest

tried with all day flight
finally could find shade on
sidewalk; so we rest

we now know what it
is like homeless…tired we are
so resting in shade

Final place to rest

The strong rocky walls,
With a big iron gate,
Guard the place for the dead…

People take the dead,
Place them beneath the walls,
behind this big iron gate;

They say its heaven’s gate,
A place of rest for the dead,
Guarded by high walls….

Burial ground, with high walls n iron gate is final place to rest for the dead!!
