2K5 ROCKZ

by Ajay Alex

As splendour falls on castle walls,
Snowy summits old in story;
As long light shines across the lakes,
My heart leaps, swirls to the music of the cosmos;
Singing, the glory of them
Who kindled the lamps in my path.


Not only the wonders of books have you taught me,
Unveiled the eternal mystery of birds in the sky,
Bees in the sun and flowers on the hill side;
Held my hands amidst tempests of changing years,
Through cadaveric dissections and twitching muscles,
Effervescent salts and pyknotic nuclei,
Unending saga of effects and side effects of medicines,
Through the world of patients full of pathos and woes.
Silently you could engrave in me,
Never to put a price tag on heart and soul.

Whether these lines are written or carried
To a pedestal of marble or gold,
Your work nevertheless shall remain
For children of tomorrow to exclaim,
For pushing competitiveness,
Beating rhythms of innovation,
Tapping new levels
Yet to blow meaning and value to life!
