Between Two Thrilling Moments : Dr. Shailesh Veer

A moment,
Felt that -
Got everything!

Another moment,
Felt that -
Lost everything!

Between these two thrilling moments,
The journey is -
From egoism to meekness,
From excitation to calmness,
From inattentiveness to contemplation,
From suspension to meditation,
From paralogism to truth,
From illusion to sooth.

For centuries
In making
A human being to a good human being,
This journey has faithfully done its work,
This sequence will continue even further.

Reviewer's Opinions -
"An excellent multi faceted poem Dr. Shailesh Veer for myself. It was very interesting historically for myself as l was not familiar with Ashoka The Great and his place in history and so l did my own research before reviewing to enlighten myself on your beautiful verses which relate to Ashoka. I wanted to know more about Ashoka in relation to your country. It's been not only a great journey for myself through your amazing write and l salute you on your creativity and your image of choice which only enhances your verses more and it's delivery! Excellent presentation!"

"This is utterly great work! You’re fervently fastidious in choosing picture that has historically sound. A beautiful artwork created by dear Ranjana Kashyap blended beautifully and adorned the history of the great Indian Emperor of the Maurya Dynasty, Ashoka the Great. So I can read the poem you wonderfully wrote as a pertinent reminder of how life used to be. In making a human being to a good human being. Wow. But what I most love is the poem plunged me to the dream about how it should be a better future. Love this so much, Dr. Shailesh!"
