I am floored down
By the persistent stings
Of small small worries!

Even the smallest worry waves
Erode my banks of rollicking spirits!

But-
Mammoth calamities
In vice-like grip shake you
With cyclonic furies !

However...
Your silence
Never gets shaken
Nor uprooted!

O. tell me-
How deep are your Roots !
