The shell of tranquility

Stands alone in the arid deserts of scorching sun,

And sustained alone in the abyss of deep blue ocean,

within the shell of tranquility,

In the chaos conquering the will,

In the challenges contracting the footsteps,

In the deluge of despondent days.

None can trespass the shell

No annoying calls or invitations,

No humiliations.

No love letters,

But peace and harmony with self

Enlivened here, sustained here .

The shell of tranquility

Sustains the serenity forever,

as a fortress with sentries

 Invisible to the sight of the bustling world

But to the insight!

 The indomitable will

Strengthening the ramparts of the fort

 for decades fallen with the autumn foliage

In the nights frozen & days wilted.

The days and nights in long years

Swirled inside like a snail,

The sunshine and moonlight knocked often at the rooftop

 Adoring the princess of tranquility within the shell.

In the dusky twilights of miseries

Universe sent a breezy wind of Autumn night

 To enliven her leisure

Kind enough to grace her virtues

within the shell of tranquility.
