Harihar Jha

Pouring compassion of heaven on this earth
God decides a small lovely village to bless
with gift of nature in a wonderful form
a Gulmohr tree in an aesthetic dress

The singing air with so much pleasing fragrance
air of love is blowing from the tree so nice
people breathing fire in the fits of anger
how come they are drunk-dead in cool breeze of peace

sitting, enjoying in the lap of Nature
travelers planning further journey to start
agony transformed into sensitivity
filling happiness and pleasure in the heart

on forehead of the old people so relaxed
disappeared the flowing sweat-drops of heat
their both hands come forward to give the blessings
when all children with due respect touch their feet.

teen-agers chat in dense shadow of the tree
to solve problems and remove the thorns of strife
feeling very enthusiastic and fresh
they proceed on their future vision of life
