something i wrote, i call it "Ashes and Dust"

Sun rises, inducing life with its each falling ray;
Setting at dust, for stars and moon it must make way.

Trees blooming in spring ,like a thousand danseuses ,to the music of winds they sway;
Come autumn, the celebration stops for the same winds flit all away.

So let us live and just celebrate all the way;
For like everything else, we too will turn to ashes and dust some day.

The rivers move fiercely, colliding with rocks, falling sometimes a hundred feet people say;
All this although it will be lost forever in vast oceans and bays.

Birds chirp, quarrel, nibbling at grains in merry and fun filled ways;
Soon these little things will fly across endless skies, for road to home is never long as they say.

We are mere mortals, for unlike god we will turn to ashes and dust one day;
But that is the beauty, the boon , that it all ends for us one day.

The silence of the ocean does not reveal its depth,just until it expresses itself.And when it does it can even move mountains:)

"But that is the beauty, the boon , that it all ends for us one day."

:-) ashes and dust reminds me of the movie gladiator. When the owner of Russel Crow is murdered by czar. And the owner last words were, we are nothing but "ashes and dust". Very powerful scene. We are ashes and dust only without Guruji and his blessings. Thanks for reminding Sid. Jai guruji :-) thanks, Abhishek
