THE SHELL

I WONDER
And then I pressed my shell,
Close to my ear,
I wonder why the grass is green, And listened well,
And why the mind is never seen?
And straightway like a bell,
Come low & clear,
Who taught the birds to build the nest? The slow sad murmur of distant seas,
And told the trees to take the rest?
Whipped by an icy breeze
Upon a shore,
Oh, when the moon is not quite round, Wind swept & desolate,
Where can the missing bit be found?
It was a sunless strand that never bare,
The footprint of a man,
Who lights the stars, when they blow Nor felt the weight,
out, Since time began,
And makes the lightning flash alert?
Of any human quality or stir,
Save what the dreamy winds & waves incur,
Who paints the rainbow in the sky? And in the hush of water was the sound,
And hangs the fluffy clouds so high?
Of pebble rolling around,
For ever rolling with the hollow sound,
Why is it now, do you suppose, And bubbling sea weeds as the waters go,
That Dad won’t tell me, if he knows? Swish to & from,
Ankita More There was no day,

Setting the star alight,
FIRST STEP To wonder at the moon,
Was sunlight only & frightened croon?

In the journey of life if you find yourself lagging Smitten to whimpers, of the dreamy winds,
your destination And waves that journeyed blind,
Not within your reach, you can’t find a way out, And then I loose my ear, Linson Matthews
when the fear of defeat Oh, it was sweet to hear, F.Y.B.Com (C)
Haunts you or fear hinders your way then take a A cart goes jolting down the street.
deep breath, take hold of your courage
And leaving behind all your doubts take that first
step, and see Friendship
Eventually the queues will part, hold on to your
patience and see 1+1 is Two, My friendship is True,
The answers to everything comes to those who 2+2 is Four, My friendship is more,

Everyone will reciprocate; you just need to extend 4+4 is Eight, My friendship is Great
that hand of friendship with courage.
Rose is famous for Grace
You can conquer every fight; throw away the veil ‘Advocate is famous for case
you’re hiding, Horse is famous for race
Anything is possible in this universe just take that But smile is famous for our face
