Poetry: Nature Calls
Dr. Archan Mehta
What should I do?
In the end, they became very poor.
Many people
He showed me the door:
They introduced me
By stereotype
“Starving Artist”
Who will die?
With unclear gaps
Taken down
Anonymous Gravestone
No family relationship
At a solemn funeral
Perform the last rites.
Anyway, many times
Have I had a dream?
A better way is to
To make money
The sun
Still basking in the hay,
But nothing worked
Look, for me.
And I
Fall into extreme poverty:
But I still tried.
My business skills,
Instead, I felt dizzy.
Not cash,
And discovered
Small business
Not my calling:
I went for a walk
In the forest,
And I
Away from the blues.
Looking for luck
Embracing nature
I
A fork in the road,
And I decided to lie
Down for a while
Under the shade
And noise
A few bumblebees.
And when I woke up,
I found the answer
Those vague, lazy clouds,
The noise of civilization
I thought it was too loud:
In the silence of nature
I found my soul
And the heart,
And be thankful for the good
Lord, I
Can be made
A whole new start.
