~ Indefatigable Willpower… ~ 

☆

As the grim darkness deepens,

I summon the dawn’s might

The weather must shift, as the

era takes a formidable flight

 

Faces, now, change like masks,

as a frequent daily charade

Their funeral procession, must be

a spectacular empty parade

 

Those who’ve bartered their souls,

now revel in their own shame

Arrest their downward spiral before,

they claim  the  crown’s name

 

 

Petals that once bloomed, are

crushed beneath their weight

Life must be cast in steel frame

to defy the fate’s inimical fate

 

When they usurp your rights,

don’t ever shed a single tear

Rise in fury, demand justice,

and make your presence clear

 

Let your voice be thunderous,

like a raging stormy night

And ensure that justice is served,

in all its lucidity and might

~ ‘Satsang’, the Company of ‘Good and God’… ~ 

☆

In the company of good and God, we find our way,

To ignite the spark, that burns throughout the day

*

The fire of truth, that keeps flickering deep inside,

Guides us on our journey, with a gentle, loving stride

*

In Satsang’s sacred space, where good and God reside,

We find our inner light, and a loving, peaceful Guide

*

The divine enlightenment, shines like morning dew,

Illuminating our path, showing what is eternally true

*

In the company of good, hearts takes cosmic flights,

And the flame of pure love, that burns within, ignites

*

May we seek Satsang, to bathe in its ever loving light,

And may our souls, be filled with peace & pure delight

~ The Skylark… ~ 

☆

O’ dear, Skylark, the celestial

serenader of  the  melodies’,

Your rich, melodious trills echo

in the morning symphonies

*

Your honeyed chirrups awaken

me to dawn’s warm light,

In a harmony with heaven’s

rhythm,  a  pure  delight

*

Unfettered  by the life’s woes

or  its  bitter  plight

You spread  joy and happiness,

a boundless  divine  light

*

A treasure from Mother Nature,

You’re priceless and free,

Your song uplifts the humanity,

a symphony of cosmic glee

~ Certificates… ~ 

☆

Birth Certificate,

Education Certificate,

Character Certificate,

Income Certificate,

Marriage Certificate,

Residence Certificate,

Life Certificate,

Death Certificate…

 

You live, you breathe,

You’re vibrant, you’re gone,

Yet, in this world of papers,

proof is all that’s known…

 

Ironically…,

The life has just been

reduced to documents,

having existence in files,

A paradox of proof,

where love, laughter,

and tears go uncompiled..!

~ Hubris’ Nemesis… ~ 

☆

Hubris swells the heart,

an inflated pride so high

Leads us to fathomless fall,

and makes us wonder why

* 

We rise on ego’s wings,

but are destined to decline

As the nemesis ushers in,

an inevitable bitter design

 *

In ruin’s darkened night, we

see our crestfallen pride

A lesson learnt in pain, with

a humbled heart inside

 *

The height we aspired to grasp,

slips through our hands

And wisdom’s seeds are sown,

in humility’s gentle stands

~ The Brainless… ~ 

☆

Even among animals, there’s

struggle, skirmish and battles

Struggle for survival, for food,

for protection of dominance,

For territory, to attract a mate,

But animals never unleashed bombs,

Never launched missiles,

never destroyed nature,

Never reduced the earth to ashes.

You could say – they’re incapable,

Lacking the intelligence to do so…

But, these brainless learned the

art of building intricate nests,

These ignorant planted seeds

to keep nature green and alive

The dimwits took care of others’ eggs,

Gave life to other species too,

The ignorant faced challenges together,

As a community, they overcame crises.

Listen, you wise ones, the history

of life unambiguously says,

Being half-witted is better

than being sinisterly wicked…!

~ Compassionate Hands… ~ 

☆

When feeding the hungry,

if pride deliberately creeps,

When clothing the bare,

If boastful tone so seeps

 *

When aiding the deprived,

a fake gleam does shine,

Then know for sure that

you’re not so truly divine

 *

For true service is humble,

quiet, gracious and amiable,

No pomp and show, just

a gentle hand so charitable

* 

Help must be secretly given,

with no ostentatious claim,

True charity’s beauty lies in

its quietness, devoid of fame

* 

Let kindness be the badge,

not a hollow public display,

For in the divine humility,

true service finds its way

~Beyond the Stroke… ~ 

☆

A cosmic artist’s stroke

defined my fate,

A line between existence

and an endless wait

*

He handed me the brush,

and I painted words,

Transforming the line,

where meaning blurred

*

The line became a boundary,

impregnable and true,

Yet in the words, a new world

order broke through

*

Amazed Cosmic Artist blessed,

as He saw my actions bold,

Realizing realms beyond the art,

for myriad stories to be told

~ Echoes of Solitude… ~ 

☆

In the haze of separation,

deep shadows grow

Your memories radiate, a

solitary blazing glow

*

Distances stretch hugely

a silent chasm wide

Yet, my breezy moments

drift in a solitary tide

*

Promises, like whispers

on the wind, fade

But, my heart remains, where

your footsteps stayed

*

Conversations dwindle,

with melancholic hues

But in the melody of your

voice, my soul renews
