Homage to Thee

My Dearest Father,

It is a hundred days past since I saw your physical presence
A life that you always led, a life without pretense

A life that you demonstrated the values of share and care
Without having any expectation from anyone near and dear

A life that you led without incessantly worrying about worldly gain
Yet tried your best always to alleviate other’s suffering and pain

A life that you led with complete belief and trust in humanity
A life that may have led some to lose temper and periodical sanity

You periodically admitted the challenges faced due to other’s vanity
Yet were not able to muster courage to confront the human frailty

You had an inherent sense of fear regards outcome of the final end
Yet you were presented with an end that could only be labeled as god send

Your physical presence is strongly missed yet your memories have the final say
As we aim to live through another day, we pray almighty to always shower his ray

We can only pledge to carry forward the legacy of love, share, care and peace
As we endeavor to live through life with the lessons & values you had us inculcate

We will strive to never let you down as we live a life of principle
We pray that you continue to guide us as we forever remain an earnest disciple

Appreciation

Ah! The times that are initiating a whole new creation
Ah! The times that are initiating a whole new creation

The times when we accept only honest appreciation but also
The times when we abhor critical depreciation

The times when we ridicule condemnation but also
The times when we anticipate only commendation

The times when we write off denunciation but also
The times when we request accepted affirmation

The times when we no longer think off renunciation but also
The times when we have a constant fear of admonition

The times when indulge in self-defeating accusation but also
The times when we fantasize about positive declaration

The times when we no longer commit oneself to assertion but also
The times when we ourselves deny self out of contention

The times when we no longer make a selfless contribution but also
The times when we assert our might for a limitless donation

The times when man looks at man with nothing but retribution but also
The times when captivation leads man to self-defeating distraction

The times when man claims to observe events with concentration but also
The times when man claims to no longer enjoy life with fascination

The times when man no longer seeks to build a strong foundation but also
The time when man encounters blockages at the time of inauguration

The times when man claims to think about radical conception but also
The times when man no longer claims to forever meaningful invention

The times when man indulges in talks about proliferation but also
The times when man does not question one’s own procreation

The times when man no longer looks at enabling construction but also
The times when man involves himself in unending destruction

Ah! The times which are creating a whole new formation
Ah! The times which are creating a whole new formation

Big Fight

Do you ever realize the consequences of maintaining a fight?

You no longer enjoy the expectations of having your share of bite
Because you are always wary of the forever lurking back-bite

You no longer enjoy the experiences of freedom of flying a kite
Because you are always wary of the sight of capture of your kite

You no longer enjoy the thought of reaching one’s full height
Because you are always wary of the fright of falling from a great height

You no longer enjoy the freedom of reveling in one’s own insight
Because you keep worrying about possibility of getting lost out of another’s line of sight

You no longer feel that you should always strive to your mite
Because you seem to get inhibited by someone else’s might

You no longer enjoy the brightness and luminosity of your own light
Because you are wary of the potential darkness and shadow of your own plight

You no longer feel the eternal need to be always on the side of right
Because you sense the real gap of meeting people who are upright

You no longer even enjoy the freedom of color and cloth yourself white
Because you worry about the people who might turn themselves white

Do you ever realize the consequences of maintaining a fight?

Lust

The most often found word thought always in a negative state – lust
The often feared that speaks of actions making a life go completely bust
The questioning of one’s sense that goes to the depth of one’s crest
The often enacted thoughts that may not necessarily be within limits of jest

The often enacted temporary satisfaction that fly thick like a cloud of locust
The often expressed opinion on hindsight that everything does get converted into dust
The often influencing impulse that converts one into self-afflicting pests
The often heard incidences commonly called incest not necessarily in anyone’s interest

Is it not better to be consciously aware of one’s thoughts that one is forever abreast?
Is it not better that one should begin to question every single desire how so the smallest?
Is it not important to be cognizant of one’s moving away from one’s directed quest?
Is it not important to be especially successful in one’s own self-actualized tests?

There are moments that makes one desire to be remembered as one of the kind rarest
The are moments that needs one to attest regularly actions that justify one as the best
There are times when one prefers to let go of fear to forever seek peace and rest
There are times when one needs to dissolve self in the supreme without fearing about one’s nest!

Distress

Whenever you see a person who seems to be in apparent distress
Are you going to be among the first ones to exploit an inherent weakness?
Are you going to be the first one to provide a helping hard of caress?
Or do you only get reminded of your own seemingly high levels of stress?

Are you going to be reminded of your own unending prowess?
As you discover in self the ability to rescue a man in his time of duress?
Are you going to inspire a man to reach new heights of success?
Or do you only get reminded of each time you landed yourself in a mess?

Life forever is like a dress, with ever-changing colors and size
It is not always that one knows clearly what is the final prize
It forever encourages you to try on the various experiences it unfolds
Some of it may leave you cold, the others strengthens you to be bold

Some of it unravels the wonders of joy and creation
As you encourage another soul in their search of evolution
It just requires a basic re-look at one’s own expectation
That may perennially demand your attention to let go a life of limitation!

Innocence

Ah! The essence of Innocence
The essence without any sense of pretense
The essence which seeks no consonance
The essence which speaks only sense
Ah! The bliss of ignorance
The essence that only seeks convergence
The essence that unconsciously avoids dissonance
The essence that does not seek a mask in airy curtain
Ah! The bliss of ignorance

Ah! The essence of Innocence
