A wise man who’s stressed
Lives in air tight compartment
He does not complain
The wise man stays calm
His quiet heart brings answers
They solve his problems
The world wonders why
The wise man seems problem free
Steady, strong, and serene
Let’s strive to be so
Inner strength brings victory
Inspiring others

A Sonnet For A Good Friend
6th May 2024. 1 min read (Power of Poetry)
What makes one adored?
Everyone wants to know
A trait you can’t ignore
Is that with whom one feels the flow
Share the joy, share the woes
Life’s stories are infinite
Especially when one is in the throes
Best stories shared are not intimate
Instead, common problems faced in life
That plague everyone each day
Just flex your mental muscles as you strive
No solutions will be kept at bay.
Share with one who is patient and understands
Share with one who listens and makes sense
