Simpleness Of Life

The rush of life 

Got exhausted, 

Breath couldn't gallop 

For false success, 

Feet followed the 

Path to residential place. 

People not suave 

Yet so original ushered 

To my home. 

Serving the plate 

Of simple 

Yet delicious food, 

Mother pointed 

Towards her 

Would be daughter-in-law 

Whom my adamant 

And modern mind 

I had rejected earlier. 

As the curtain of pride 

Had dropped itself, 

I could see 

The simpleness of life. 

Holding the hand 

Of my would-be wife, 

I whispered

'oh! The friend of my childhood, 

Forgive me 

For neglecting 

My duties for you'. 

The unruly breeze 

Tousled my hair, 

The bell of the temple 

Of village again chimed 

For the auspicious evening.
