Be a MAN

They say, “Be a man...”
I say, “I am.”
‘What do you know about being one?’
‘Can you tell?’
‘Sure I can.’
‘Then do.’
‘A real man is noble, benevolent...
A good man he is...’
‘Where comes REAL man?’
‘Not all men are MEN...’
‘So why put two into one,
And who IS a real man?’...

Human dealings are timeless...
Human emotions are timeless...
And, timeless is the idea of being 'human' - truly... 

*N.B.: Forgive me for using the term ‘men’ for human beings(individuals)in general.
P.S. Do Comment.

The Shower...

Sitting to study this morning...

I saw the winds blowing,
Leaves dancing in delight -
Caressed by the rain drops
Trickling off their face.

And, I heard the rain come down,
Its constant drone -
As it descended on the soil
And made mud-pools.
And, I felt the rain drops
Falling on my cheeks, split
Into thousands; encompassing
My face - giving its blessings.

 Here,             A drop traveled down
                            The length of a slant rope;

                        There,            Banana leaves embraced one another,
                         Dancing in sheer delight.

And I saw all.

And then, 'twas over...
Leaving behind water -
Water on earth, water inside soil,
On leaves and on my face -


...And I felt contended.
