TRANQUIL CACTUS
Days and nights go by
The hills and plains are left dry
The bushes and grasses whither
In the cracking cakes of parched soil
Leafless trunks are scattered
There is empty blueness in the vast
cloudless sky
Yet! Within the thorny greenness of the resilient
cactus!
The tranquil water reigns!

LONESOME TREE
Left to the winds; in the wait for the rain
In dried up sorrow, and leafy
tears
For better fortunes; hopes and fears
Violent gales, in a stormy weather
Hateful heat; at the verge to
whither
Yet rooted to ground reality ;
you silently hold on !
Nourished by life’s essence, that
you have found
In Compassionate water; deep to
the rocky ground!
With flexible shoots that, bend and heed
Perennial springs that, lovingly
feed
And mighty roots gripping the
grounded truth
No one can shake you !
Neither storms nor floods can
change your course
No droughts can dry you up with remorse
Oh lonesome tree by the desert
plain!
How mighty is your resilience!

RESILIENCE
Glory to the human spirit! Glory to its brilliance!
Glory to the root of sentience! Glory to its resilience!
Like the woody dry barks that crack and break away
While the lush green bamboo stays and sways
Thou remains flexible in difficult ways
Like the grass with a strong roots, that tides over the forest flame
And grows again greener with the coming of the passing rain
Rooted in virtue and value, thou grows back right away
Like the sky that is filled with clouds of colour, and clouds of gray
Yet holding on to none as they pass away
Thou accepts moribund reality and lets sadness go away
Like the perennial spring, that feeds the mind river
That taps into the water, while all the rest has dried away
Thou keeps Hope going, even when all reason has gone away
Thus is the driver, of the root of sentience
Thus is the spirit of human nature
Fighting the odds of a billion to one
Striving along in a world of all or none
Thus is the way of human resilience
Glory to the root of sentience!! Glory to its brilliance
Glory to the human spirit!! Glory to its resilience!!
