Change of Flow

Many a time there are sudden changes in life’s direction
Some may be positive and others may be a difficult transition
Many events may seem to be a disruption during occurrence
Some can never ever be written-off despite lack of recurrence

The change of flow may catch one by shock or welcome surprise
The ability to act and maintain composure is akin to the roll of dice
The knack of managing emotions comes from life experiences
The ability to sustain momentum needs one to get off the fence

Many a time we resist the change of flow even if irreversible
It may be wiser to be accommodating and keep one more flexible
Many a time we argue and remain adamant and inflict self cruelty
It is nothing but our individual frailty to not acknowledge reality

Many a time we may need to relook at our relationships of old
We may be holding on to memories that may no longer hold
Many a stubborn attachment makes it difficult to let go the past
We may neither enjoy the present nor recognize the future vast

It may help to learn from the lessons imparted by elders and seers
It may be better to reflect and go beyond the surface level ear
It may take time to sort out the clutter and go beyond one’s inner frights
It may be time well spent if it helps one live with clarity of insights!

FLOW OF LIFE

Every moment of life is precious
Every emotion of life is infectious
Every breath of life fills up energy
Every event of life has its synergy

Every drop of water gives a new birth
Every single harvest has its own worth
Every spark of fire can create own light
Every single star can radiate very bright

Every sound can be music to the ears
Every wind flow brings its own cheer
Every being can get caught in the maze
Every atom in nature fights for its space

Every single step in this journey can come alive
Every person can get drawn like a bee to its hive
Every single word spoken or written is sacrosanct
Every action intentional or otherwise has an impact

Life flows on as the mighty ocean waves hits the shore
It has its peaks and troughs as it recedes to the inner core
Life flows on as events unfold at its pace and tightens its hold
It reveals its glorious form when you look also beyond the pot of gold!

Status-Quo

Life is comfortable when you exist in status quo
No need to take effort and stretch even for a while
Why bother about travelling the long distance
Life seems better and no need to get off the fence

Life is a matter of habit and change requires effort
No need to bother unless challenges surmount your fort
Life’s events will occur as destined by the Creator
No need to take initiative else may end up in the Crater

The practices of the past just needs to be blindly followed
One only needs to put on an act as if coming from the heart
The blind believers will always be a closely knit group
The disgruntled will disappear when ignored by the troop

Life is peaceful when the same routine is diligently followed
Set your daily actions to follow the movement of the Sun
Avoid the contact of those who have a divergent thought
There is a risk that you may fall and all may come to naught

Life is nothing but taking actions between the first and final breath
Why bother about other’s views when you want life to be a vacation
It takes time and effort to reprogram one’s thought process and worth
There are lifetimes and it may be better to put it off for future births


Heredity and genetic coding can be taken in as a reason to suit one’s identity
Life experiences can be used as a prime example to uphold one’s case validity
Life appears so very calm and serene and just need to ignore allegations of rigidity
It is agonizing that people give unwanted advice that provides nothing to the kitty!

Life Passage

The Life is passing me by
Every day starts and ends
The menu on the Cards
Has no sign of any change

The need for the body
The daily food required
The work to earn my bread
Is the only connecting thread

No time to speak to people
At times don’t feel the need
No time to pursue any hobby
Wonder about my existence

The work keeps me busy
I ponder on my life
The moments are passing by
I admire and let out a sigh

The future turned into my past
The present will too turn soon
I wish to let go memories of past
It comes back with a full cast

I wonder about plans for the future
I realize the plain unpredictability
I yet need to follow a set pattern
I live in a society firmly housed in a pen

It seems that I should follow my gut
I realize that books call it animal instinct
It seems that it may give a better life
I don’t need to hold on to any strife

I better forget incidents as it happens
I live in the present as I am at that time
I need never put up an act filled with tact
I just need to be with no worries of impact

Let people talk what they want to
I have no right over any one’s voice
Let people choose to indulge in action
I have no right as people move in motion

I know that one day the body will be gone
I may get the hunch when the end is near
I know that thinking about the same is futile
I need to live and not worry about the last mile

I can just go all out and make a new discovery
I can just reach out and create history
I need just step out of my enclosure
I need to outgrow other’s measure

I know that it should happen by self
I know that it should not be by design
I know that the connect will be instant
I know that the effect will be permanent

I don’t know about what I know
I know though of what I know
It may not the right time to let all know
It will by self happen when all will know!

Freedom

I crave for freedom to do something for myself on my own terms
I have never got time to think about what to do to navigate the turns
I look forward for someone who can help me develop my resilience
I have been forced to seek answers within and put up an act of pretense

I question the fundamental premise about whether there is any freedom
Is it an illusion or is there a way to live differently while facing the storm
I question the fundamental principle of whether attachment ties me down
Is it a duty or is it a handicap that constrains me from wearing the crown

I wonder about the need for man to develop any social relationships in his prime
Is it only a self-serving defense to explain how he spent resources in his life time
I wonder about the need for man to spend time and indulge in any kind of activity
Is it a crime if man decides to cut himself off from society that attracts words of pity

I wonder about the lifecycle of man from the cradle to the grave that is a common link
Is it relevant for a man to explain about his pursuits or lack of one that invites no blink
I wonder about the expectations set on man to prove his worth to be seen as one of service
I wonder about whether man can ever live for himself or whether it is considered a vice!

Friendship Day

It is a pleasure as much a paradox to have a concept of a Friendship Day
It is the sign of the times that relationships evolve and bonds may no longer stay
It is as much an occasion for people to express their gratitude and have their say
It is an opportunity to reflect on the traits that draws you towards your friend’s bay

It reminds one of the times that were shared together during one’s youth and childhood
It recreates memories that one may aspire to relive especially if one seems lost in the woods
It helps one discriminate between the bitter-sweet sentiments that may regularly raise its hood
It helps when you connect with a long lost friend who reignites your passions and lifts your mood

It is a reality that the every individual’s life is as different as a set of chalk and cheese
It is also a truth that every individual aspires for an existence that is not run-of-the-mill
It helps one to single out those who truly matter and you can overcome barriers of distance
It may be a time to reach out and show that the association has endured the test of atomic lens

The cycle of time is always on the run as much as people evolve and undergo self-transformation
The individual trials faced by people may separate them as they travel in multiple directions
The social network may provide a platform to stay connected and act as a support system
The self-drive is required to take ownership despite the limitations and show your true intention!

Re-charge Your Life

As I fervently played to the Divine to help me find solutions to my issues and concerns
There appeared an old seer in a white robe and asked me the reason for my tension
As I was in two minds about whether to open out and speak my heart to a complete stranger
The seer seemed to have read my mind and subtly indicated his role to get me out of danger

As I spoke to him about all my worries and issues that I was faced with on a regular basis
He asked me my contribution to further enhance and willingness to not let go my fears
As I spoke to him about all my contribution and sacrifices for people who were dear and close
He asked me whether it any much mattered now as it was a chapter that was over and closed

As I spoke to him about how all my current challenges that were a result of my varied compromises
He asked me candidly about whether my focus was on reliving the past or creating a new future
As I expressed my desire to create a new future but had no clarity on the road map for the same
He asked me whether in my past I always looked for a road map to do something that was not a pain

As I spoke to him about how the joy had literally disappeared from my life and I was feeling lost
He asked me what excited me and the hobbies that made me happy and mattered the most
As I explained to him that I had no time for myself let alone make time for any kind of interests
He enquired about my reaction if all my concerns would get taken care provided a hobby is a must

As I continued to give excuses about lack of time and my emphasis on doing the right things my way
He enquired with me about my use of technology tools that was a part of my life and was here to stay
As I spoke about the latest gadgets that were used by me that made life simpler and helped me connect
He asked a blunt question on whether they needed rest and the result if I never let them disconnect

As I pointed it to him that the gadgets will not work effectively if I did not periodically give them rest
He smilingly asked me whether I had ever considered myself to be a gadget that was being put to test
As I had no ready answer and seemed to be in a spot, I could see him get ready with his next question
He boldly asked me whether the gadgets had a battery and whether they needed a regular recharge

As I timidly answered to him that none of the gadgets would operate without a regular recharge
He seemed to have come alive when he wisely asked me the impact on the flow of unwanted baggage
As I diffidently indicated to him about the obvious stagnation when garbage was allowed to accumulate
He with poise asked me what I was doing to let go the old garbage and start afresh on a new slate

As I could now absorb the wisdom flowing from the seer’s words that went beyond his garb and beard
I began to feel that the divine had heard my prayers and started this conversation that appeared weird
As the seer asked me in a very caring tone about my hobbies and interests that I had failed to follow
As I opened my heart out to him and cried aloud his response was cold and yet a bitter pill to swallow

I could not fathom this contrasting behavior and then all of a sudden he had a hearty laugh
He had read my mind and then spoke to me at length about the highs and lows of each one’s life
He asked me to make time and rekindle my hobbies and interests and take it one step at a time
He mentioned to me the initial resistance that I may personally face as I pen down my next rhyme

He stated to me that we all have a choice on the usage of our time and we need to stop putting blame
He spoke to me about the rhythmic cycles of Mother Nature that was ever glowing and yet to lose flame
He revealed to me the worth of making time for self and pursuing hobbies where one loses track of time
He explained to me the impact and the meaning of a life fully lived rather than cut short in the prime

As I was absorbing the magnitude of his words and began to slowly decipher the meaning
I realized that I had got lost in my own thoughts and become reactive and found life less fulfilling
I made a commitment to observe and be a part of the changing scenery and proactively initiate the flow
I realized my good fortune when the seer reflected radiance and disappeared leaving behind his halo!

Subtle Emotions

The Sunrise on the horizon is the ray of light for life to rekindle its interest
The birds crackle in their search of food for their young ones in the nest
The animals huddle together for security as much as they enjoy the fest
The cubs jostle together as they play around after their night of rest

The Sun rays penetrate through the foliage and the leaves shine with pride
The reflecting glow resembles the emotions of a shy and reticent bride
The flowers slowly open up revealing its full glory as it sways to the dance
The mix of beauty and fragrance can hook any onlooker to lose their sense

The Wind begins to blow hard and the waves of the Ocean begins to furiously flow
The fury of nature is on display and one desires to lie low to mitigate any sorrow
The land under begins to develop cracks as in a relationship that has turned sour
The anger and frustrations at one’s own choices and decisions makes one to roar

The Sunset and the Moonrise fosters a calming influence on the mind
The twists and turns and the various bends forces one to be no more blind
The gentle and calming influence of the reflected light provides a rare insight
The power of choice on one’s emotions enables one to master their choice of bite!

Divine Guidance

I seek you thou, Oh Blessed One
Reveal to me the Ultimate Truth
The reality in its Ultimate Form
The essence beyond the Norm

Awaken my eyes to your inner world
Let me out of this slumbering herd
I beseech you to be merciful and kind
Let me go beyond this Universal bind

Let my actions be the changes you always desire
Let my thoughts be ever filled with love and care
Let my confusions be forever dissected threadbare
Let my existence be forever merged rather than be afar

I seek your guidance to go beyond this conflicting mind
I seek your blessings to grant vision to eyes that are blind
I seek your refuge to live this life that you granted for a cause
I seek your divine presence to help me uncover this purpose!

Time is no longer still

It takes one to expand one’s world view to truly live in the present
It needs one to truly observe the environment for little incidents
It requires one to not essentially plan but experience every moment
It just needs one to be open to the unknown that helps one’s ascent

The energy is high, the desires run deep and the senses are sharp
There is no focus on the past or future and time comes out of a wrap
There is so much joy and cheer and each thing seem to nicely blend
There is no reason to fear uncertainty that may appear at any bend

The smile on the faces of people with whom we daily interact
The emotion in the voices of people is not necessarily an act
The demands made by people who care for may have no tact
The actions to satisfy those desires may go beyond known pact

The leap in one’s strides will no longer give one’s heart beat a skip
The pace of action will not be constrained by one’s lack of any grip
The consistency in achieving one’s life purpose will no longer be a blip
Just observe me says the Universe and I guarantee you will never slip!

Pure Love

The perennial search for pure love makes me sleepless in the night
The never ending search for eternal love gives me periods of fright
The desire remains that you forever remain within my own sight
The mere presence of your self makes my days cheerful and bright

You are like the stars that lightens up the skies for the lonely moon
You are like the flowers that decorates the leaves for the solitary tree
You are like the chirpy waves that brings energy to the deep oceans
You are like the breeze that spreads its aroma and mesmerizes the brain

Your laughter makes me come out of any period of darkness and grief
Your voice makes me feel cared and taken care of howsoever brief
Your touches make me relaxed and completely lose my poise and senses
Your hand movements are so mystical that make me give up any defense

Your words spoken seem like trinkets falling off from the treasure chest
Your gaze from your alluring eyes seems like the crescent moon on the crest
Your lips are so elegant that leaves even the dancing peacocks in a trance
Your legs are so desirable as much as the quench of thirst in a forest dense

The first shower of the rains and the water falls demonstrate its abundant glory
The teasers do not satiate the thirst of those who need to hear the entire story
The hunt for the jewel that will eventually find its place in Nature’s designed ploy
The time has come to claim your rightful place in the crown and be no longer coy!

Love is in the Air

It is such a wonderful experience to feel the pure love in the air
It opens up a whole new world of promises of warmth and care
It seems such a new feeling that energy seems to be on a high
It is no wonder one loses track of time that just seems to fly

One has craved for this moment when dreams turn into reality
One has coveted this moment when desires creates possibility
One has longed for this moment when future seems more secure
One has endured pain in the thirst for the magic potion that cures

One feels so glad that there is so much laughter in the moment
One feels the emotions and silence seems appropriate in the present
One feels the need to just stay one and wish that times stay still
One feels the unsaid sensations even as one has a share of his fill

One need not exchange too many words to reveal the passion for one another
One need not shower lavish presents to express one’s affection for the other
One need not create any spectacle to demonstrate one’s inner sentiment
One just needs to remain in the present to feel one’s presence prescient

The dance of love draws one closer as one loses any sense of inhibition
The enchantment for the other makes one more tender in admiration
The promise to maintain fidelity despite lure is a true sense of devotion
The unwavering trust in one’s relationship is always a result of one’s dedication!

Life Time Memories

You may have given up your worldly human form
I understand that is the mortal universal norm
I understand that there are both peace and storm
Your presence was always serene filled with calm

I may not have always agreed with your school of thought
I may not have always understood the lessons you taught
I may have preferred to spend more time in connecting the dots
I really miss your presence when I end up getting caught in a knot

You connect with me regularly in my dreams
You make me realize that life is similar to a stream
You give me insightful messages from a larger realm
Your thought make me feel blessed and gives my days a gleam

It is strange that distance makes us learn lessons at a quicker pace
It is an unknown territory where very few have identified their space
I will forever continue to look for your eternal guidance and grace
I can assure you that I will abide by your values as I seek my path in this maze!

Silence

It was the perfect start to the day, the wake-up call from deep within
The sun-rise was still some time away and the world was still asleep
The call to pick up the threads and connect the dots was a big leap
The inner silence was one of peace and joy and reflected gratitude

The chaos and the constant churn seemed to surface from time to time
The discipline of the soul ensured that it had no impact on its rhyme
The makeover was gradual and the process of transition was still on
There were no indications to foretell that much of tasks were undone

The trees were amazingly silent and did not dance its way to the cool breeze
The birds that are normally so chirpy were also apparently in a state of bliss
The music that yet played on in the ears were an absolute pleasure to hear
The clarity that revealed itself made choices of decisions no longer any queer

The arousal of dawn brought an end to this external picture of poise and calm
The experience of silence though had triggered a process of internal cleansing
The gross image of the external world with its attractions may no longer charm
The subtle nuance of the inner world with its call for change was an awakening!
