Friends

Two souls,

Both keen observer

Of beauty offered by existence

To thirsty eyes and willing hearts.

Beauties they feast on bind them together in

Love that is deep and strong

In turn, 

Their togetherness makes

Sunsets more colorful

And sunrise more enriching,

Chirping of birds more musical and

Flowers more beautiful,

Vastness of sea more spacious

And flowing streams more playful,

Temples are more serene

And deity more connecting to eternal.

Beauty that fills hearts

Binds them in love

And appreciation by hearts full of love

Is reason for beauty to blossom.

They nourish each other.

Friends indeed!

To be a Parent....

To be a Parent……

You may keep away, you may withdraw….

You may not call, you may ignore me….

You may be secretive; you may exclude…..

You may insult, you may reject me…

Though it is heart breaking,

Painful to endure….

It makes me feel depth of my love for you.

To me you remain my child who brought

Smile on my face

And refreshed my heart.

I will always be there for you,

Will always care for you.

Love

Love

I was restless 

I was searching…….

In books and temples,

In prayers and bhajans,

In friends and family,

In flowers and bees,

In gardens and trees,

In sunrise and sunsets,

In city and jungles,

In known and unknown………

At last, I found it in you.

…..Meaning of my life.

I found in you

My way to Space Within.

A Little Prince

There was once a little prince,

He played,

He dreamed,

He loved.

He ordered…….

Now a grown up.

Still he is a prince within…

Still he dreams…

Still he loves…

He follows orders…..

Some evenings he drinks so he can sleep well.

(He has forgotten playing)

One Way Street

I saw life as two way street.

Giving and taking.

“Give so that you will be offered in return”

When what was offered in return

Did not match my expectation….

Agony followed.

Till mystery was revealed by

Flowers spreading fragrance

Clouds melting to offer water

Trees bearing fruits

For all.

What could I offer them in return,

If they so expected?

               *

Bells of nearby temple rang....

"Clouds do not get paid by man and animal

Whose thirst it quenches,

But is reborn by sea evaporating!

Tree is fed through its roots by earth

And born are flowers and fruits!

Life has ways of rewarding generosity

Though not through same street!

But one who is generous cares not!!"

Silence

Silence

Last night in my dream

I felt very close to you.

When I told you this

You quietly nodded.

Holding my hand,

Closed your eyes,

Took a deep breath

Seizing that moment within.

Silence prevailed...

Two souls merged

Words melted....

Purity of ambiance

Could only be held in

Silence.

Someday I will cross.....

One more among the crowd I carry within

Died today.

I feel better as I light his pier.

It has made me lighter

And I can fly higher.

With each death within,

I am getting lighter & lighter….

I can fly higher & higher.....

Looking back I wonder

When did he get into me?

What made me get him into me?

Why did I carry him so long?

Searching answers to these questions

Takes me to the dead end

Beyond which is a huge mountain….

I am unable to cross….

I am getting lighter…..

Fight goes on....

Two met,

Love fostered

Souls merged.

“It is a sin” said a priest

“It is a blessing.

Love always is.”

So rang bells of the temple.

Fight goes on and on…

Since I started writing……

Since  I  started  writing….

I used to see a palace in my dreams

And chase it to make it true.

…….Working hard.

Now I create palace of dreams

And stay in it!

……..Relaxed!!
