Concepts 10 Poem by Somanathan Iyer

Belonging to none prolonging its churn
Time tosses the patience hoping that a fun
Unleashing its fury gives wild twists and jolts
In the midst of miseries showers a sudden grace

State of mind marks the mood glee or gloom
Influenced by events in life mind mane the moods
Gist of life revolves around events un-solicited
Expected slips away while unexpected holds us tight

Change with times, attitudes and behaviors
Once appeared most liked turns later most hated
Bitter are words of concern sweeter are the words that flatter
Fault lies only not with mind but also with outer influences

Bonds of friendship built on love banks always on trust
Nurtured from childhood strengthened in teens
Appears the world assigned best to suit the companionship
One act of distrust spoils the show as a pinch of salt spoiling the milk
