~ Still Seeking… ~ 

☆

 Silence is sown, allowed to take a root

deep within, where pauses ripen to fruit

*

In spaces between lines, soft whispers play

Call it a greed —or an inward, quiet sway

*

Not for words, but all they awaken, inspire

Each silence stirs, lifting higher and higher

*

Hidden meanings gather, learning to rejoice

till every hush is shaped into a legible voice

*

Let the poem deepen, transform and unfold

Something vast, with umpteen layers untold

*

Still seeking beyond every summit and peak

for what no word can ever hold it or speak

~ Beyond the Horizon… ~ 

☆

My subtle vision is expanding

beyond the very vault of the sky

where the dominion of words dissolves

and the vast realm of feeling begins

*

There I behold the rising

of a new limitless horizon

Where the frantic race of civilization fades

and the heartbeat of creation can be heard

where it is not the eyes that see

but the inner soul that perceives

*

And there dwells poetry

like a loving tribal mother

who sits in quiet stillness

giving birth to the future

My subtle vision continues

to expand beyond the sky itself

unfolding a new horizon

leading into a pristine era…!

~ Hard Work… ~ 

☆

Some palms kept scooping water

diligently from the swamp,

Kept sprinkling it drop by drop over

the perennially dry arid land…

The world kept mocking at their

ignorance imbued chutzpah…

With the passage of time,

although the desert didn’t get drenched

but a landscaped lush green forest

replaced the quagmired land…

Never did they give excuses for the

lack of resources,

But with the dogged perseverance,

They kept accomplishing all the

goals till all were achieved, vindicating

the adage resolutel: “ Consistent hard-work

with determination always yields results!”

~ Horizon… ~ 

☆

Small canvases,

they say,

are my poems.

And she, in her

   innocent wonder,

believes I shape

only her

into my verses…

Little do they know

If only I could write

her completely—

the canvas of my poetry

would expand

beyond the horizon

into infinite consciousness..!

~ Glacier of the Unspoken… ~ 

☆

Within me rests a

timeless stillness

Layer upon layer

of unshed epochs

It appears frozen yet

beneath its crystal hush

something moves

Not with the noise

nor with any urgency

But with the patience of

mountains recounting time

You wait for thunders

for the triumph of words

I dwell like an iceberg

where silence ripens

Where truth stands bare

untouched by the mist

In this white immensity

even quietude burns

Flow is not of frenzy of motion

It is the continuity of being

Unrushed and unbroken

Still —ceaselessly and

forever in its endless way…!

~ Inimitable… ~ 

☆

He never became

A parable to be cited

Nor a copy to be emulated

When crowds moved

to borrowed rhythms…

He chose to walk

by his own breath

When people chimed

others’ songs

He sang his own melody

in his own voice…

Where thrones

were raised

from endless comparisons

He quietly claimed

his own ground…

No names borrowed

No faces worn

No voices imitated

He remained whole

Within what he

truly was…

Time changed

Many masks

Yet his being

Stood unmoved

in its own place…!
