Quake

a poem by Mayank Mohan Pande

The earth trembled, shaking all around
Brought to an end the journey to where all are bound.
Though the marks you get in college matter in life,
They are those that matter most which you leave behind,
with the help of your wife.
Reflecting on what before God is more important,
One realizes that it is better to be diffident than insolent.
