Lessons in Life

he taught me to see beyond
the ordinary and mundane
a ray holds galaxies
teeming with suns
a drop holds
oceans
in the unseen
a grain
hides deserts
in its chest
he taught me
so many things
i the keen learner
intense listener
walked the ropes
i learnt all
he taught me
what i did not,
he never said
that galaxies
shrink in to rays
that seas
wind up in to drops
and deserts
roll back in to grains
