Daily scribble in Kannada

Suspicion

When suspicion casts its shadowed guise,
We find ourselves in thorny ties,
Amongst the snakes with venom’s sting,
A garden where no joy can spring.

But if we choose a loving hand,
To touch the hearts across the land,
We might just find the roses bloom,
With fragrant joy, dispelling gloom.

Gratification

Days pass by, leaving no trace,
Nights take flight, an empty space.
Moments live in present light,
Time’s swift flow, day and night.

Life’s a stream where you belong,
Why ignore its fleeting song?
Awake, aware, cherish well,
It’s your story, yours to tell.

Self worth

Is saying and forgetting a curse you bear,
While doing and showing brings merit rare?
Or is silent action a boon in disguise,
With deeds alone reaching the skies?

Are you a coin with value inscribed,
To be held, used, and exchanged worldwide?
Or a tree that thrives in nature’s embrace,
Unmoved by the world’s relentless race?

Be useful beyond numbers and worth,
For this life is yours, a precious birth.
Shape it with meaning, both vast and true,
Its value defined solely by you.
