Laugh and only laugh

Apr 28, 2023

Laugh and only laugh, why weep and be left alone,
It is your mind, you are the sole to decide what!!
Nature laughs and laughs alone, no companion
Birds twitter, birds chirp, who understands their song.

Flowers bloom, bloom in wilderness, no one to admire
Almighty smiles at his creations, smiles and smiles alone
No complaints, no comparisons, none to grieve, only smiles
Bare trees, leaves all shed, only branches, smiles at future.

Plenty of flowers, mixed perfumes, none to distinguish,
Nostrils, nostalgia, children giggling and laughing
Long deep breath, gaping mouth, Oh!! Mango, Guava
Hanging grapes, jumping feet, none to eat, only laugh

Laugh and laugh, only laughing and laughing none to blame
Bloom and bloom, crunchy floor, dry leaves, they have their
Music. Jump and hang on the branches, laughing and giggling
Crows, parrots, seven sisters, blue jays, singing and singing.

Laughing and singing, laughing and singing, children only
Swinging their bags, books falling, opening and falling pencils
Oh!! The lunch box, it too has opened, cream rolls rolling, rolling
Wow! To eat the sandy cream roll, wow, crunchy rolls delicious.

Laugh and only laugh, why weep and be left alone
It is your mind you are the sole to decide what!!
Nature laughs and laughs alone, no comparison
Birds twitter, birds chirp, who understands their songs.
