Laughter - the medicine best !

-
Laugh it off !

When you are sad
And the day is bad
When the going gets tough
And work seems rough
When the spirit is low
And you end up in a row
Laugh it off
For laughter is a must !

When the world seems shallow
Life feels hollow
The clouds are dark
Snow too cold
Day seems bleak
Enthusiasm weak
Laugh it off
For laughter is a must !

Too much ado ?
Count away, yes please do
When chaos is much
Circumstances such
And the troughs ride more than the crests
When you would rather laugh
But all that you can do is cry
As tears run by
Laugh it off
For laughter is must !

When there is a lot on your mind but no words to say
When all you can really do is pray
When thoughts are all astray
And the little doubts always creep in the way
When the mind wanders
In the world beyond and yonder
Laugh it off
Oh you must !

Laugh it off
Yes ! You must.
For laughter as they say
Is the medicine best
A cure for broken heart and mind
Is a jest
A remedy it is
For all maladies
Harbinger of a fortune good
A memory it brings of carefree childhood
So
Laugh it off
Yes ! You must.

Morning Twilight

Morning twilight Being with the universe is a rare gift, Reserved for those that do not drift. Dare to rise before the morning light, At the dawn twilight. Before the sun rises up in the sky, To share in unique a joy. Watch the mixing of colours, On the horizon’s canvas. As the nature paints, A sensational scenery in grey, black and white, Dawdling its brush in scattered orange sunlight. Deft brush strokes pulling out some blue, From the sky to add a purple hue. Quite a visual treat it is, To see the Master paint His masterpiece! See that orange colour, Form a hint of a semicircle where heaven and earth meet each other ! See the birds leave their cozy nests, Riding on the cloudy crest. Adding sound to the vision so far created, To an emotional experience early riser is treated. Chirping and singing such natural music, Scenery just got more attractive ! Now the breathing movements get added, From the trees that open up their branches. Creating silhouettes s

The Mummy !

The Mummy Thousands of years In the twilight of history, A knight galloped Across the territory. Over the hills Across the desert, To woo a dame A beauty, to treasure. Many a mile he covered For many a day, To reach the castle The goal of his way. The hour was of twilight Exhaustion, slight Wonderstruck he stood Anticipating the sight. Darkness fell all around, The knight stood still... lost in reverie. Of the eyes he thought The musical laughter, The childish games The leaking shelter. A swift command to the horse With joy in his heart, Paraded ahead And gave a start. Amongst the ruins Of carved slate and stone, Rose a tomb On which an inscription shone; “In the memory of all those Who laid their lives To a fury Heaven had never unleashed before.” Shrieking like a madman He entered the tomb, And gazed at the corner Where a red bud bloomed. Pitchers and pots Antiques and dreams, Shining jewels And craftsmen’s seams. He stood like a

The Racehorse !

The Racehorse ! The gallant stallion, Stands his ground. He huffs and puffs, Courage abound. He gauges the distance, While he canters around. Then changes his stance, To a gallop resound. Charges ahead, Other horses he astounds. His neck moves like a wave up and down, Jockey in the stirrup stands, to help gain ground. Stallion covers such a distance, Even the jockey confounds. Leaving the grandstand spectators, All dumbfound. He gallops till the racetrack he can lead, Opponents with their Jockeys pick up speed ! With bridled precision our stallion sped, Oh ! such a thoroughbred. To think this is his first race, No frown on his forehead can one trace. From gate to the flag, Not missing a beat. The crowds cheer this Mighty beast ! Dr. Guncha Gupta 1/5/2019
