Stone
By Sunil Sharma A stone buried under the flow Of river meandering quietly In the wilderness and watched Silently by the trees overhanging And kissing the tranquil face of the brown river, Knows the lightness and density of the water In different seasons; It gets uprooted from the bed and moves ahead In heavy dark monsoons here in India and elsewhere, Then again becomes embedded in the ground that stares During merciless summers, when swollen river is reduced to A mere trickle; Stone, well-worn and polished by the currents, tells us all The universal, eternal value of being a stoic under every Challenging condition!
