Analysis of Calm water



I dropped stone in calm water
 Something appeared from under water
 All round waves coming out one by one
 As if in hurry to rush and meet someone

I was mood less and this prompted me
 To go in isolated place to feel little free
 Away from noisy scene and near the nature
 Everything seemed hostile to me for sure

Why do all the troubles come in bundles?
 Why people feel so jealous and create hurdles?
 I had no answer for other people's mentality
 I was thinking fresh from other angle with its totality

Our mind is devil's workshop
 But good place too for building up the hopes
 It revives hope even if there is no possibility
 Refills the energy with full hope to prove ability

I found no answer straightway
 Yet it gave me hope not to be carried away
 There can be set backs in life for short duration
 It may some times lead you to unnecessary frustration

I threw stone at little distance
 But all the waves came back at once
 It inspired me to think with close look
 I could possibly have not got the clue from any book

We have hardly any chance to solve it at first instant
 We remain so much depressed and think of present
 Tomorrow is unsure and gives birth to uncertainty
 That leads to human weakness with poor quality

What did it reveal to me in fact?
 Everything depends on our own act
 If we pass on the stage peacefully
 I think litmus test can be passed off successfully

Hasmukh Mehta

am an ex-serviceman from Indian Air force. I joined Oriental Insurance Company and retired from there too in May, 2007. I have been graduated from Punjab University. I hold technical qualification like Diploma in Radio/engineering .I have done English and Hindi stenography as well. I had mastered the art in Morse telephony too. I am associated with several welfare organizations and served long time as Union leader too. I am at present working as hobby writer. I write poems on various subjects and invite suggestions from all the quarters. I have written one memoir named “As I see it” and ready for publication. One interesting part of writing I would love to share with all my reader friends. I am not sure weather it may be the same case with all as I do not want to be caught in any controversy. When I sit on my personal computer, there is absolutely no thought in mind as to what is to be picked up as thought and written. These all things I leave it to the discretion of almighty to fill my mind with relevant ideas. So far I have been graced by Him and as result able to compose about 4000 poems. I have be awarded with 4 achievement award from the www.ezinearticles.com for successfully meeting with their standard. I am writing on many sites so as to be associated with reader friends all over the world. I am thankful to all those who have supported me in my initial days. more…
