AN ENDURING LESSON! <br /> <br />The mountains raised their lofty heads, <br />Surrounded by clouds of haloed clouds! <br />The winding road below goes past …… <br />A sleeping Emperor’s dusty tomb! <br />The surrounding wasted garden all around, - <br />Lie in the midst of autumn’s reed! <br />Fragrant incense smoke no longer rise above <br />the Dragon throne; <br />Nor palm-shaped fans stir-up winds of royalty! <br />All seekers of wealth, fame and majesty, - <br />Stop and pause a while without pretence, - <br />To learn Nature’s enduring lessons! <br /> <br /> -Raj Nandy <br /> 11 Mar 09 <br /> New Delhi<br /><br />RAJ NANDY<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-enduring-lesson/
