Twilight














It is felt

Fading lights
Fading form
Dissolving slowly
Into nothing, nowhere
Yet 
it is awesomely beautiful
Like a newborn baby!





Soon day will end
To begin again with
Awesome beauty of twilight!

Bare Naked


Bare Naked

On a cool quiet of night
Alone
Rested facing sky wide open
I lie for a while

Calm and vastness
Combined
Play its magic…..
Soon I feel my breath
and
Hear my heartbeats

Slowly
Trivial frills drop
and
Truth revealed
Bare
Naked

I am Just a tree


Stationary & Silent
Observing & marveling

Feeling breeze & rain
Warmth of sun & coolness of moon

Receiving my food
And what it takes to LIVE
Right here

Enjoying all that nature has to offer,
That is why I am here
That is how I live &
That is how I pass away

Fruits, seeds, leaves & shadows
Are results of my being,
Not my anxiety
if they are useful

I am just a tree



I wonder about this man
Always on run!

Food, house, Relationships, Status…
So much to “maintain”
Run, run & run…..

Trying to earn his living
When will he realize it is a gift?

When will he evolve to know
There is no need to possess to enjoy?

When will he learn to be still?
When will it occur
What he runs for will find him
Once he is still?

When will he learn to be just a man?

I am just a tree

A call



A call

As usual, 
alone 
at regular place for evening walk

It is Twilight of evening
Cool breeze
Golden light

Couples strolling
Friends together talking, laughing, walking….

Birds chirping
I believe it is a call to return

So beautiful, I thought

My hand reaches for mobile
To call you

I want you to hear
Chirping

Harmony


Ripples
Just on the surface
Violate nothing

You
My friend,
Add to stillness
I experience





Moon feels
More beautiful now

My empty cup


Sitting on a sea shore I see
A pit dug by kids playing

Often filled by waves
As soon as waves recede
It gets empty again

Kids bring water by buckets trying to fill it
But it is soon drained
They try hard
Efforts are frustrating

Only sea can fill it

A smile passes my face

Honey Bee


Hopping from one flower to another
Being with one now
Another then,
To each one fullness of my heart  
True with everyone

Nature has created me as such
I am in harmony
True to my heart
True in my love
True with everyone





I don’t cheat
Never holding back a piece of myself
Pure and chaste
Close to God
In love with life
True with everyone




And they call me fickle hearted!

To Mother Nature


 To Mother Nature

Let me
Toast and drink to
Her Goodness
For I feel loved by her
No matter
How I destroy
And disturb the balance
Of her vital elements
For my small comforts
And
Yet pretend to be ignorant,
Both of my acts
And her love!

Weed


W e e d

Useless
Unwanted
To be thrown out
Yet
Your part
You may not care
Show concern
Still
Please let me be
Just let me be
With you.

You will find love in me
Soon
Just let me be
With you.

Just let me be 
With you.

Quench


Quench


I long to go green,
bear plants and flowers,
Want hearts sing around me.

Please rain,
Don’t pass over me
Leaving me thirsty.

Dark chilling nights of winter,
Harsh burning sun of May,
Dry spells and floods
Powerful wind, storms,






Come and go.

See endure and flourish
Ones who





Stay

Opening up.....

Opening up…..closed windows


Why? Why should I??
Why not?
Not in my interest….No, not at all…..

Tense, restless,
Suffocated…..
Feelings trapped…..
Not finding a way to deal with the situation,
Tired…
I go to sea shore nearby.

Seated under open sky,
Pensive,
……Watching sun set.



Slowly……
Cool breeze, sound of sea,
Colorful sky…….
Get into me.
Body loosens & feels relaxed.





Beauty of nature outside
Connect and awaken
Within me
Its formless counterpart -my true nature,
Opening up closed windows.
Fresh breeze flow in.

Now……
Concern for my rights and interests
Changes to compassion & consideration,
Wanting to control replaced by desire to serve.

Suddenly,
Situation looks different....
there are many ways to deal with.

Smile passes my face.

Nature Unfolding

Nature Unfolding

A narrow path, seen passing by,
Hey, what is that, does it lead to that lake?
Turned around and ventured in
Rough, bouncy, barely motorable
But enthusiasm was driving hard.



And about two Km. off the highway
Revealed was
Beauty that filled heart & soul.
Virgin- no traffic, no people
No electric poles,
Peace, serenity, vastness
Cool…meditative.
Just raw nature
And
Us.

Entering that narrow path
Was entering a cocoon
Full of life
Unfolding.

Note: About three hours drive from Mumbai or Pune, a place that is so beautiful and yet so scarcely peopled is unbelievable. Attached are few pictures of that heaven we experienced yesterday.

My friend whispered after a long calm, money cannot get this! I agreed.

(Please don’t ask me exact location for I will like you to find it – life reveals itself to one who is eager).
