The Cosmic Child

The ground below concedes your tread, 

Whenever you take a step;

cheering you up as you immerse 

your feet in the lush grass..!

Tranquil breeze abets you forward as it blows,

and evergreens sway to your hushed hums. 

And the daylight takes a little longer 

to fade when you ride the roads..!

When the surface of water

unveils you to the mirror;

And each droplet sacrifices itself

to satiate the draught within..!

Each and every crumb of the cosmos

toils for you and knows your worth.

What makes you not to see yourself 

with your own eyes..!!
