Aha ! now it's dune bashing time
"take the mild one" said my son
"Oh ! that's not done "
I said ,"it will be no fun "
I simply had to have my way
hence took the fast one to play
for life had taught me to sway
The jeep went speedily up and down
on deep sand caves and huge sand mounds
holding on to each other's hands
with baited breath we laughed and sang
"Oh No ,Oh No ,Go a bit slow "
on being tossed high and low
stomachs churned hard
and heart beats raced fast
The desert sands of time
were piled up and down
the power of the winds
had shaped their mounds
with ever changing colors
they spelt magical wonders
one moment heaped up high
next moment wind blows the sand to fly
As sand flies away with the wind
its new journey then begins
it happily mixes with new found
tiny tiny sands on the ground
embracing each other with love
aggregating together in hugs
some pile below and some above
Its then that I suddenly realized
hasn't our life taken the same stride
a rough and tough roller coaster ride
each sway has strengthened our drive
each dive has taught us to survive
the vagaries of difficult times
with endurance we crossed many lines
some were happy some were sad
some made us laugh like mad
and still we go on on and on
having emerged reasonably strong
mingling with those who cross our way
trying our level best not to go astray
flowing with the winds of changing times
trying very hard to rhythmically chyme
Till the inevitable powerful gale
will take us away from this beautiful jail
with no chance of getting a bail
to be here to watch the worldly sand
and dance with the sweet wind band
so life is short my dear friend
let's relish life at every bend
like thrill of dune bashing in the sand
