Shashi Gupta

Sometimes I'm sad
So down in the dumps,
Love has deserted me I think
But mostly I know 
Love lives in little things
That stay in my heart
And all around me.
I thank the Lord
For the birds and the bees
The flowers that grow
In corners unseen
The fragrance
That intoxicates my senses
And the desire
To live my life despite pain.
I walk in the rain
To wash away my tears
Laugh with the winds
As they unchecked blow
I dance amidst the leaves
That come twirling down
And tired at last,
Sleep peacefully without dreams.
Life is a mixture
Of happiness and pain
One without the other
Will seem in vain
So with a gulp
I swallow the sorrow
And step out everyday
To greet a new morrow.
