Beneath the lush green branch of a tree,
a life got shelter from the sweltering heat,
scorched in the desolate wastelands,
the soul revived under the soothing leaves!
Sprinkling drops of drizzle ,
watered the surface,
lying barren till now,
sheaths of grass sprouted with grace!
Shadow a life ! for you never know,
Your small gesture would rejuvenate it as whole,
Infusing life into the dreaded soul,
Birthing new hopes of splendor!
Worthiest virtue ,
an act of kindness,
gives a new life to the extinct humaneness!

I loved your poem, Soumya, but I don’t understand your use of the word “moron”. Is it a spelling error?
Frankly Eric! I wished to express a small gesture of kindness in any form can turn a person of any intelligence level,or a person who gets trampled by situations who is more or like a moron in mind and heart can get transformed with the imbibed faith or support .
I guess this could be a cultural vocabulary difference, but in American English this term is meant to be offensive toward another person. It was once used long ago in a classification system of psychology, but that system is no longer in use. The term’s meaning has changed drastically. If I were to say to someone in the U.S., “You are a moron!”, it is the equivalent of saying “You are Stupid!” or “You are an Ignoramus!”.
Oh OK! Can you suggest any other word in that place,that which you think would suit?
I have changed,just check!
Very good!
thanks to u
