As Light As Feather Poem by Geetha Jayakumar

As Light As Feather

Rating: 5.0


Pelting stones on the sweetest fruit,
Painfully stood tree watching it.

Words of stone thrown,
Can shatter one!

Calm yourself...
Keep on going,
You are on right track,
So is the stone behind you,
To distract you from your goal.

No reaction like tree,
Remaining silent,
Can confuse one,
Whether
It was feather or stone,
Which he had thrown.
Never let it break your heart,
Rest everything will follow.

Make your heart as strong as possible
Even a monster of jealousy,
Should look like an ant,
Pack the return gift in a beautiful wrap,
return it,
Saying Thank You!

What about the beautiful rose born with thorns!

Tree is a best example of tolerance power as it stands painfully still in spite of pelting several stones at it and in exchange it gives sweet fruits to the pelter. So also we have to make our heart strong in spite of several hurdles and jealousy and in spite of this we should offer thanks for which we shall feel a stone as light as feather. A great philosophical write.10

A beautiful write... Geetha! If our hearts are made strong enough to withstand all taunts and wounds from others, we have conqured them and established victory over them.! A little patience shown and timely restraint exhibited can work wonders! In this context, I invite you to read my poem - Nuggets of Wisdom, No.4. Thanks for your sweet comment!

Excellent rendering of a notion great! If you don`t mind spare a little time for taking care of the sequence of tenses used so as to impress the native writers in English. All the best ahead.
