Amidst the chaos…

a poem by Rathi Pradhan

Amidst the chaos of life, in this enigmatic world,
When you just do not want to panic or be sad,
When you just do not want to be hoodwinked and made a fool of,
When you just do not want to be annoyed or vexed,

Amidst the chaos of life, in this enigmatic world,
When you just want to come off the arid, bleak path,
When you just want to be in a hilarious, blissful mood,
When you just want to chuckle, grin and smile away…

Just stay by a person who is adorable, affable and nice
who is funny, naughty, foolish and wise.
It is none other than your very sweet best friend,
With whom the fun and laughter would never end!
