UNFAILING PROGRESS
Dr. C. Narayana Reddy
Wearing the shield of time
If the heart of any one
Ventures to display valor, putting at stake
The blows however serious they may be,
It is able to withstand.
If swimming hands
Have firm decision to support
The opposite shore of the widest sea
Comes to stand in the presence.
The trees, inhaling greenness as oxygen
Accord a shelter to the birds perching on them
In the scorching sun
In the shivering chill
Offering them blessings.
Their glances
Fly, raising their wings,
Hatching in the eyes
The restlessly collected sights in tours
They take a rest.
Crawling like a baby,
The creek at the lap of mount-ridges
Rhythmically steps down to the earth
And forms the branch of a river.
It, falling and falling
Flows rushing
Although its angles are different
Substance is same
As per the angle of investigation,
The secrets of matters
Come out in the form of a verse,
Capturing contemporary realities
Every living proceeds
To pave a way to unfailing progress.
