Shelter <br />- - - - - - - <br />Cold, quite cold <br />Is this world <br />Cold, quite cold <br />Is this marble <br />And I find it <br />Serene and tranquil <br />In every curve and line <br />Flakes of beauty shine <br />It's cold and still <br />Yet in her breast <br />Lies charms of peace <br />Where in flowers <br />And in twinkling stars <br />In rays of sunrise <br />And in rays of sunset <br />The same serenity lies <br />Nor winds are fierce here <br />Nor tides run high or near <br />Spring ails not <br />Nor autumn falter <br />Come summer <br />Come winter <br />And when gone never felt <br />The mason with aptitude <br />Designs and builds it <br />Where I dream my final rest <br />In the grace of simple stone <br />I am just a pebble from sand <br />To be rolled down latter or soon <br />Unto that quiet home <br />Free from storm and gale<br /><br />DEEPAK KUMAR PATTANAYAK<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/shelter-21/
