Flow of Contrast

There are experiences in one’s life that seems like a long-lasting mutiny
There are times in one’s life when there seems no control over one’s destiny
There are experiences in one’s life that are necessary to undergo
To understand those moments that one needs to learn to let go

Life seems to follow a pattern just like day follows night
The moon waxes and wanes in its sight and light
The waves rise and eventually submerge in the depths
The off-loading of the scales enables it to achieve the balance

The trees flower and blossom in spring only to shred its leaves in autumn
The weather conspires to rain in peace and at time decided to create a storm
The earth believes in stability and yet periodically decides to quake
The ocean maintains a balance but periodically decides to roll over the fence

Hunger follows thirst, and Thirst follows Hunger
Love follows Peace, and Peace follows Love
Cheer follows Joy, and Joy follows Cheer
Desires craves one towards fulfillment, and fulfillment fills up desires

Let go of the mask and flow with the cast
Let go off the flask and detach from you task
Strive towards your goal, but do not burn your whole
You are destined to embrace the soil so let go off your foil

Birth results in death, death is followed by re-birth
Moments in life pass away in a play of repetitive motion
The memory is past and the present is going to turn past
The Universe is Vast and we are neither and nor will be the last

Moments of Truth

Life is a space, and the space has individual connectors
Each at any point of time has its own existence
Each connector has its own identity and seem to matter
When one does not take effort to apply the micro lens

As one makes the choice and understands the essence
Life becomes one filled with conviction in a sense of flow
Every moment is intricately linked to the other
The changes are nothing but just a reflector of present

To read beyond is to imagine one’s self perception
To dissolve in the present is not fearing life beyond one’s tent
The distractions are many and the fear uncanny
About one’s ability to withstand the environment when stormy

The awareness of truth is just the early start
The life beyond has experiences many of which comes in part
The living of truth on a daily basis
The essence of convergence is truly the ultimate bliss

There is no fear about the unforeseen future
There are no regrets about experiences of the past
The welcome memories do not scent of any fury
One is truly involved without feeling the sense of need

Life is divine, the perfume and the fragrance
The radiating light, the all encompassing sight
There is nothing in space and nothing to forever pace
If you realize that you have internally eternity to embrace!

Passing Away

I never truly knew what it really meant to hear the phrase of someone passing away
Until I experienced the reality of my dear father attaining his heavenly abode
An event that one knows is the ultimate truth but realization sank in late
As I relived the memories yet was not willing to acknowledge my fate

One always likes to remain in a stage of eternal denial
A dilemma that makes me wonder loud about my own existence of life
It just put all stops to all of my ambitions and aspirations
As I realized that one day nothing will eventually remain of the beads of perspiration

I always heard that we come empty handed and would eventually go the same route
It just happened that it was not very easy to manage my mental and emotional state
I felt uprooted and begin to dread the fact of starting life anew on a clean slate
Especially after attaining the insight that I had very little control on my own fate

As we all know there is always a fair difference between theory and practice
I had to grit and bear the advice of one and many as I lived out my destiny
The beads of conflict of past, present and future started to raise its hood
I had no time to brood especially since I had to control my own mood

Time stood still but yet seemed to be in an eternal flow
In the face of the rituals that only seemed to steadily grow
Every ritual had a relevant and meaningful significance
The substance and essence of life on hindsight urging me to get off the fence

As experiences of joy and sorrow were relived and memories were refreshed
The irony is that all of it was expressed posthumous rather than when in flesh and blood
The soul was encouraged to follow the light and seek its eventual site
I still dressed in the fantasies of this world was urged to further plough my might

The magical wand of the single breath of life expressing its all time power
Made me realize the meaningless and fruitless existence of my own life in a tower
As I realized that I do not even have control of the next second of time
It just made me more respectful and careful in squeezing every ounce of time

Never procrastinate on anything putting off actions that you feel is relevant and of value
Never feel that you should not express your emotions when life is in free flow
Never for once develop a myth that human life is always eternal
Always live life doing what you desire especially for those you truly desire!
