A Boy Who Wanted To Write A Poem.
A boy who
wanted to write a poem,
A
boy who wanted to write a poem,
Went
around in the town,
To
search for an idea,
And
words for writing a poem.
He
went towards north side,
Through
the alley which was wide.
When
he reached at the end, he saw
An
ocean brimming with wild tides.
He
decided to remain away, and
Wait
till the tides sway away.
A
man was caught in the waves,
He
was trying hard to save him.
He
tried, tried, and tried.
He
made all the attempts to come out of the tides.
Ultimately,
he was able to save himself, and
Came
out at the shore.
A
boy was curious and surprised.
He
went to him and asked,
"You
fought bravely against the wild waves,
Haven't
you felt any fear?"
A
man looked at him and said,
"I
am free from fear, that's why I am living here!"
A
boy looked at him, and decided to be fearless.

Being thirsty in the dry desert
Then,
he went towards south side
Through
the alley which was wide.
When
he reached at the end, he saw
A
drying desert drinking juice of heat and sand.
He
decided to remain away, and
Wait
till the evening.
He
saw a tired, hungry and thirsty man
Trying
to find a drop of water carrying a cane.
He
tried, tried, and tried,
In
all the directions and all the places.
It
was so dry, even tears were not coming when he cried.
At
the end he discovered the spring of water,
Quench
his thirst and calmed down his hunger.
He
came at the place, from where a boy was watching his face.
Boy
was curious and surprised.
He
went to him and said,
"You
fought bravely against the hot sand,
Haven't
you felt any heat in your feet?"
"I
am immune to heat, that's why I am living here,
Without
feeling any heat in my feet!"
A
boy listened to him, and
Decided
to be immune against every kind of heat.

A flowing sweet water of life
Then,
he went towards west side.
Through
the alley which was wide.
When
he reached at the end, he saw
A
river flowing with sweet water of life.
A
man was looking after his cattle,
And
taking them to the river bank to drink the water.
Cattle
drank while he protected them.
At
last he drank and made his way back home.
A
boy was curious and surprised.
He
went to him and asked,
"You
looked after your cattle very well,
Haven't
you felt thirsty before them?"
A
man looked at him and said,
"Cattles
are my pet,
Cows
and cats.
They
need water as I do."
A
boy listened to him, and
Decided
to be sensitive to all the living beings.

(4) The
setting Sun and The rising Moon
Then,
he went towards east side
Through
the alley which was wide.
When
he reached at the end, he saw
A
man crying and watching the setting Sun,
He
started smiling on seeing the rising Moon.
He
went to him and asked,
"You
showcase your emotions so well, but
Why
you cried at the sunset, and smiled at
the moon rise?"
The
man looked at him, and said,
"The
setting Sun was the sign of my doom,
While
the rising moon was the sign of coming boom.
Life
is like this, till the point you wish."
A
boy listened to him, and
Decided
to be humble and never fumble.

He
went home, took out a paper and a pencil.
He
had got the idea and words.
He
wrote the title 'life' and wrote the below poem with
Tides
of emotions rising in his heart.

Life
Today, I
roamed in the city of life
This
taught me the lesson of living.
North
taught me to be fearless,
Whatever
is the case.
South
taught me to be immune and firm
Towards
the heat of problems.
West
taught me to be sensitive to all the beings.
Irrespective
of the fact tiny or big.
East
taught me not to fumble
In
difficult times, and remain humble
In the
rising time.
These
lessons will help me to live and sail
Through
the ocean of life.
