Playing with real baby?





Playing with a real Baby
Or passing time?



A person
Wanting to pass her time.
Got a toy baby doll …

Played with her, bathed her, dressed her,
Loved her.
And imagined she loved her back.

Doll became means for her to pass time,
Express her love….
 Receive love…..

She was called upon to look after a real baby.
Worried about trouble involved
And occupied with toy doll-
She avoided,
Giving reasons.

“My doll needs to be looked after.
She needs me.
How can I leave her?”
Was one of her reasons.

......Comfortable with toy doll
Passing through life, receiving imagined love,
Often wondered about life with real baby……

Missing heavenly secrets of real love
Life could offer,
Often regretting……….

                *


Other titles that crossed my mind were
1)      Real Baby?
2)      Regrets?
3)      Missing?
4)      Time pass?
Which one you think is more appropriate?? Please suggest.

Friends

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.

Doctors…Reports …

More reports….
More Doctors…

Naturopathy...
Nadi vaidya…..

More Doctors…

What do you do now?

Pray.
Leave it to HIM.
Trust HIM.

Write it.

Visualize that she is well
and normal
and talking
and walking
and eating
and cooking
and playing
and laughing
and sharing and …….

Feel that smile passing you
As you visualize and
Feel warm tears rolling down

Pray again.
Trust HIM……….

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…
