Whispers of Wisdom – Kaushal Kishore

In an age where brilliance should soar,

Whispers of wisdom silenced, evermore…

A hush descends on thoughtful speech,

Fearful echoes, good lessons out of reach…

*

Intelligence, once a beacon, bold and true,

Gagged, shadows obscure its rightful view…

Stupid thoughts tend to stifle the wise,

Inconvenient truths untold with silent sighs…

*

For fear of offense, the wise retreat,

Leaving shallow echoes on the street…

But let us strive for a brighter dawn,

Where brilliance rises, not withdrawn…

*

Let not brilliance be shackled and bound,

In open discourse, true knowledge is found…

In the tapestry of thought, let voices sing,

A harmonious chorus, the wisdom it brings…

*

Join the gathering, release wisdom’s chain

As ignorance wanes, unbridled and plain…

Stifle not the sagacious, let their counsel unfold,

Let reasoned discourse, in echoes, be told…

Wintertime – yaskhan

A damselfly’s gossamer wings 
Waltzes the soft light of a winter sun 
wind-tossed blossoms scent a quilted collage 
of orchards’ fruity chorus as feathered wings drift 
palely lit leafy gowned statuesque trees 
an emerald sky drips into mountain blooms bursting 
surfing the air, radiant in their satiny hues 

I sink into the sunlight gold
bathing the sweet fragrance of earthy musk.
