Poems old and new

The Library

The Library


The University library
is my safe sanctuary.
Every day I seek solace
in books lined in grace.

A place where I meet mentors,
the philosophic writers galore
through memorable volumes
on life, nature and God; a fortune.

Here is where I travel to various worlds
transported by enchanting words.
Each day I fly on wings of imagination
finding fabulous lands, to my fascination.

Injunctions from Shakespeare and Bacon
as by tales from Maha-Bharat and Ramayan
moulded and made for what I am;
masters par excellence, I thank each craftsman.

With no demarcations of race, color or cultural strife
the library speaks of love, harmony and peaceful life.
