Far from the Lunatics

a poem by Ramesh T A

The town has all the evils of politics and religion.
The mad people make much ado about nothing.
To cool down the madness reason has to prevail.
Knowledge brings enlightenment only to the seeker.
The terrace is the only place far away from the lunatics.
Above it, the Stars, the heavenly beauty cheer up the mind.
The cool bright Stars remain the same in the dark sky.
Beyond them the unseen silence prevails everywhere.
The distant meadows above the sea level have the calmness.
It is divine place due to its sweet natural serenity.
The distant music fills the soul with rapture.
The distant twinkling lights reflect the Stars of the Sky.
This is the place where the muse resides the whole night.
And the noise of the mad crowd is no more heard there.
