NADIR AND ZENITH

NADIR and Zenith

Who would have guessed
High sounding words
Sounding exotic and technical
Can denote high & low

Melodic
Melancholic
Meaning a touch of magic

Lowest and highest points
Yardstick for
Measuring the lowest and
Highest points of the Himalayas

Can appreciate
Measurement of distances
But when it refers
To lowest and highest points
Of human lives

Assumes
Great and serious significance
High and low, opposites
Can co-exist

When depression sets in
Nadir takes control

When we are in our Zenith
Converse is the truth

We don't say
Am at the end of my tether
But on top of the world

When Zenith is in control
Our highest point
Augurs achievement and
Uplifting fulfilment
Contentment

Nadir
Our lowest point
Ushers in depression
Disappointment & hopelessness
Are at our rock bottom
Of life's platform

Beaten by life and its retinue
When we reach life's Zenith
Are on top of the world
Looking down on earth
Not with disdain
But with
Deep feeling of satisfaction
Appreciating our
Hard work and dedication

Pushing upwards
To reach our Zenith
Exotic & melodic
Sometimes kind
Histrionic
Best vocabulary on earth
Gives
Our mind & soul
Invigorated health & wealth
