The dying dew….

The small pearl, which fell from heaven

Met the lotus leaf, rested whole night

That dew was now about to leave

With sunlight, it was having a fight

Slipping down the veins of leaf

Trying to hold it, trying to hold its existence

But soul of dew was being sucked by sun

And body was slipping in the pond, each instant

The little fighter, though managed to snatch

The fragrance of lotus with it

Melting it in its heart, and finally jumped in water

It thought its sacrifice wasted, went in vain

And no result came for its fight with pain

The fragrance it carried got mix with water, got lost

Seeing this, the dying dew cried and looked at heaven

It asked the almighty why it is getting such failure

Why no result came of its bravery, its valor

The omnipresent smiled, and made the dew realize

That from all nearby lotuses, its siblings did same exercise

They all together, mixed the fragrance in water,

Small as individual but astronomical as a team

And seeing this the dew smiled, and made a happy scream

The fragrance was softly carried by the blowing wind everywhere

The wind spread “saga of sacrifice” in each corner of earth, with smiling tear

The sun smiled at almighty, and blessed the dead dew

To live life and do die for a cause, this is a gift bestowed on a few
