A different approach


Trying life

Tired me

Till I stopped trying


Now I am a relaxed witness.

Unexpected Guest



I wanted her.
I tried very hard to get her,
She was always in my mind,
She was always in my heart,
But she kept eluding me.




One morning I got up,
And got involved with my work,
I forgot her,
Working hard with all my heart




While I was busy working,
Someone knocked my door,

It was she! His grace bestowed.       

Success is her name.

Indestructible

Monuments, expression of
Deep respect & love,
Inspiring values
Helping us to be better being.


When destroyed,
Just structure gets destroyed
Values they inspire get multiplied
…..Many folds.

Will spirit of Buddhism – peace & love
Get destroyed with demolition of
Buddhas of Bamiyan?



Vacant space there
Silently transmit
Message of love to all,
Specially to those who committed its destruction
For they don’t know what they are doing



So do space at
Ground zero of
Twin towers, symbol of free world.

Joy of Living






Joie de vivre
(Joy of Living)

Blessed I was with its glimpses
When in love,
When playing with friends,
In achievements and success,
In food & festivals,
In luxury and comforts,
In mountains,  rivers & woods.

I savored & chased those moments
And found
Its infinite source in
Space Within.

 I just need to remain connected.

The fun of Passing....


The fun of Passing…….

We play, we quarrel
We love, we fall out
We sooth, we hurt                                                                                                         
We breathe, we eat
We dream, we despair,

We see divinity in a tiny flower on the roadside
And pass through divine forest unaware!

We are so similar
And differences so insignificant!
Yet……?

????????
@$%&--@***=+][3#^()0o!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx!!!!

HA HA HA HA HA……..

Passing.....

                                                      The Passing.... 



Flowing like a river,
Given way,
Eager to meet & merge in
That vastness of sea.

Anyone who cares
Quench her thirst.

Unfortunate are those who keep away.

 I move on…

All Within




A pair of eyes
Same scene
See beauty, see evil.

Haiku Height Promot7 : Beauty

HIS GRACE

Who am I ?


  I have my fears  &


  I have my hopes.



I am my fears when
I talk about it,
I take shelter behind it,
I make a show of it,
I let it rule me,
I let others address it or
When I think I am it.
          

  I am my hopes when
  I see it,
  I talk about it,
  I think it will come true,
  My actions are ruled by it,
  I am working for it,
  Others address to it or
  When I think it is me.

  Who am I?
  My fears  or
  My hopes?

  Whose choice is it?
             
                                                      
                                                                            30.8.04
                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

 Friends, 

‘Who am I?’ was written six years back in ’04.  As the poem reads, I then thought it was a 
choice of an individual to select an attitude and live his life.

Today there seem to be a shift. As the haiku ‘My Choice?’  reads, I think though it may appear 
to be my choice to me, awareness of choice itself is a result of His grace. 
One can easily slip in a state of mind that has no choice. Isn't it?

Life has taught me this in the the span of six years . HIS grace.

                                                                **


My Choice?




His grace

And

You remain aware of choices, always.







                                                                 
                                                                                                                                 5.9.10

What doesn't Change?



What has changed ??


Then,



I loved you for your glowing complexion,           
I loved you for your sharp features,                                                        
I loved you for long & silky hair,
I loved you for your figure,
I loved your smartness.

I loved for what you possessed.





Now,




I love you more for you don’t have a baby complexion,              
I love you more for you have lost your teeth,
I love you more for your hair expose your scalp,
I love you more for you have a hunch,
I love you more & more as you loose each of your possessions.






For without your possessions,
Revealed is real YOU.


YOU  are  beautiful.
