Soothing Dew-2009

Dr Roshan Saraf

Just a minute away to celebrate the year

of new and virgin hopes of genuine

desires, joy and happiness to share.

Let optimism be our inbuilt character,

to hope for the brighter sun-shine

after every dark and gloomy night of fear.

Yes, the terror of militancy and horror of insurgency

is a worrying subject world over

which has trampled the human conservancy.

Let us wake up from the lethargy

and slumber and wear

the armour of courage and unity.

Thwart the devilish designs

and vicious hiss

of insurgents with Indian Tricolour signs.

Take a vow to be a sharing partner and a caring parent,

a loving brother and a noble friend,

an obedient son and a wise student.

Pray-the pebbles of discomfort

to transform into "Soothing dew"

of compassion to ease the aches and clean the dirt.
