Miss you!

I feel like the Bedouins of yore
Exploring the hot sands of my heart
Hungry and tired
Looking for water to quench my eternal thirst

Then I see you from far far away
Like a beautiful rainbow on the colourful sky
And coming my way
Like a messiah, you fill me with so much joy it makes me cry

I feel my prayers are answered
You are all that I dreamed of and more
I run to you ignoring my fatigue and
The wounds of soul turned sore

But you turn away
Like a mirage playing tricks on my mind
The sun of loneliness scorches on...
Driving my eyes blind

I still look for you always
My long awaited soul mate
I have waited for many years
Fighting battles of fate

I look up to the sky from time to time
Waiting for a glimpse of you
The smile the eyes the innocence
Showering on me making my dreams come true

I miss your whispers in my ears
I miss the laughter in your eyes
You are a true gift from God
Sent straight from up in the skies

Come back and speak to me
Ease the rising pain in my breast
You complete my life with your touch
Come back my friend oh dearest

Nature calling!

There is a tiny little compass within us, our conscience, the keeps giving us signals. There are times when it keeps warning us of the dangers of the city life we are living. It gives us hint of being at home when we are in the middle of nature. We are all like tiny parts of the nature we are so foolishly moving away from. And that's why we feel so much at home when we go to these places. We are parts of them - the air, the water, the soil, the fire that makes us us. Not the iphones and fancy toys we are so attached to these days. Let's make it a point to live closer to nature. To breathe pure air. To drink water unadulterated by modernism. To think thoughts that are pure and in tandem with the cosmos. There is a monk within us. Why do we hide him? Why do we not listen to him? We must. Before it's too late!

Love is all around me!

I remember this peppy song from my childhood with these lyrics love is all around me, everywhere I go...I have forgotten the singer, the lyrics and everything about this song. But these few lines have stayed with me all these years.  Truly, if we look around, there is so much to love and be grateful for....from the view of the rising sun from my balcony, to the books I read, to the food I eat and the energy I feel within. It's beautiful. The whole universe is within us and there is so much to be happy about....only if we truly open our eyes and see. Life is so tiny. Today we are alive but tomorrow we may not be. So why not inhale all the beauty around so that when we close our eyes in the night, we feel the divine bliss within and cherish it, without a regret in the world. It's a beautiful life, I feel pity for thr people who waste it hating ! May God bless their souls and may they too learn to see the beauty all around, so that this earth can truly become a beautiful place to ...

Broken

I feel like the kite that was flying high in the sky And suddenly the thread broke somewhere somehow And the drifting and dancing with the cool breeze started And then slowly the gravity took over dragging down and down and down The children of the area were too busy to run after me Probably attending some class for their future The onlookers didn't give me a second look Now I'm stuck on a branch of tree High up from the battles but not high enough for the breeze to push me again and again I am tied to the tree It talks to me about being grounded About the greatness in being rooted I don't understand it Because I have only flown all my life Never been tied to a tree I have only longed for the blue sky all my life Have only heard cheering when I flew high Now the rain gets me wet and soggy And the sun makes me brittle I wish the tree knew the joy of flying Wish I could convince it the beauty seen from high up in the sky The feeling of racing the birds hi...
