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!
