Can you tell me as a friend? <br />Where life starts and world end <br />May I fail to catch glimpse of beauty? <br />Will not everyone laugh at me with pity? <br /> <br />Am I carried away by simple look? <br />Is it purely decoy and luring hook? <br />As fishes near the food and caught <br />Battle is lost without being fought <br /> <br />Why I only saw emerging fresh hope <br />Earnest desire with balanced walk on rope <br />Was that not open challenge to face? <br />Soon to fade out and out of race <br /> <br />Fine attempt to survive with glory and pride <br />Mo mixing of words and emotions to hide <br />Every angle has different stories to tell <br />How many may succeed with ends so well <br /> <br />Is it wrong to offer solace and stand as rock? <br />Morning alarm voice from creature like cock <br />Setting aside them as mere sign of weakness <br />Live pulse push to meet and feel oneness <br /> <br />Is the desire root cause of problem? <br />Can any nation survive without its emblem? <br />Is it not the earnest feeling and desire? <br />Will we not be failing to praise and admire? <br /> <br />Countless questions raging peaceful mind <br />Solution not in sight and answers never find <br />Can you not act wise and be so kind? <br />I shall promise to stay not as blind <br /> <br />I found you with His blessings and grace <br />Life would have been challenge and hurdles to face <br />Should have fallen out of grace to face ordeal <br />Wounds would have aggravated without hope to heal <br /> <br />I may end this by not saying good bye <br />You may not be seen as birds go and fly <br />It was earnest attempt and try <br />I will accept it as fate and never cry<br /><br />hasmukh amathalal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/as-a-friend-2/
