THE REAL GEM

Like the particles of sand,everything seemed to slip out of the hands,the hard earnings which took years to show up, the status that killed every second of the time of  relaxation,the fame  like an instant glowing bulb,which can get fused any moment .

Contemplating , he sat on the linen of  grass,that was extremely attractive and inviting still was left unnoticed.For people around were too busy and engaged in their own world of miseries and worries.Few fearing the thought of losing the inevitable, others apprehending the failure of certain action which hadn’t been taken.

The velvety feel of the green lawn was so absorbing and relaxing,the moment he lay his bare feet on its surface,he felt as if all his negative thoughts and energy has vanished and been drained through his veins to the verdancy. Why had not he ever come here ,why didn’t he notice such a wondrous wonder!

Everyone spend thousands over an appointment in a spa or find different  ways to have moments of peace,some spendthrift and buy things which aren’t  necessary for them at all,many waste their notes on gadgets which they feel could be of use during their leisure or pastime .

But none of the things above provide, the comfort and the peace that he got while  he stepped on this green grass.

He walked few steps,stood there,gazed around and finally sat.

Within a  few minutes he was plucking the small sheaths of grass and throwing them as a kid would , oblivious of his surroundings.

Such serenity and free atmosphere ,he hadn’t experienced since ages.Without spending a single penny he could get the happiness which had been lost somewhere in the due course of life.

Hours went and he amused himself by observing every individual  that went by and the scene around him .

Today he had discovered  the real gem of life which was precious as well as  free.

THE NOBLE STATUE


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Standing amidst the moving crowd of faces and shadows,

the tall elegant composed persona ,

motionless, stationary,

watching every move of the glamorous and destitute world….

 

Multitudinous dreams brushing past,

stored and hidden in cores of the heart,

countless figures traversing the path,

which always gets busy or lost…

 

Life with reflections of  dissimilar  contrasts,

Births of innocent vibes,

deaths of fallen broken ideas,

living of stagnant outlooks,

languishing for a glimpse of true psyche …

 

The static one sheds a tear,

smiles for a while,

standing amidst the life divine…imploring

the souls walking beside…

to be alive…

 

Unlike itself,who cannot move,

stuck to the ground for years,

The statue of  a noble Zeus,

cries and weeps for everyone…

HAPPINESS


 

 

 

 

 

 

“Come back”,

Spreading his arms he beckons!,

“Embrace me with your presence,

Without you , its just a waste,

of life and the glittering pleasures…”

 

“Don’t turn your back”,

He pleads,

“I will listen to your suggestions,

deriving joy from simple things..

will  now be my natural behaviour…”

 

” How do I convince you of my promise and decision,”

He utters ,

“Finally after so many setbacks ,

I have learnt this gist of nature…”

 

“Stay here with me in my heart for ever,

I shall spread thy radiance ,

around me and the ones who need ,

the very everlasting joy  in large measures…”

 

She turns around,

Rushes back  to  be in his arms,

getting absorbed in his soul,

He smiles and rejoices the moment ,

As 

 The beautiful HAPPINESS  sojourns

in his heart forever…

 

 

 

 

MOMENTS WITH MY MASTER !


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Magical and mystical, beautiful yet difficult,

smooth roads ,higher terrains,

high peaks , deep valleys…

this journey of life…

melodious ..and intense with poignance …

 

Every birth thou came  along,

to hold my hand and lead me everywhere,

like a child I followed you…

within the heart or in this atmosphere…

 

The times when thou appeared before,

manifesting the whole universe to the core,

I blindly surrendered to you ! My lord  ! 

my ego to which I adhered…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It has been ages since you left ..

the earth and thy earthly form,

I miss My Master those golden  days!

when I didn’t had to sulk for anything that went wrong…

 

For thou  presence overshadowed the things,

whatever that life brings..

the only ones that the  eyes could see..

was the Eternal  Divine embodied …

 

The days when you were home,

rejoiced the heart and was enthusiastic more,

worries and sadness,

I had dumped at your feet …

to be trampled… and never think about it….

 

Born  on the soil of this  earth…

O! Master you mastered the roles,

As a mother you hath  cared,

as a father you hath taught,

as a guide you showed me the path…

like navigator you steered …

Sublimating my thoughts in the revered pleasure…

 

Am I walking down the right path,

Asks the inner voice! today

An augur  from thou,

Shall change everything,

the life and the universe,

Wiping out the  destitution that is around …

 

I yearn for that empyrean instant,

when my encephalon  touches  ..

the dust where thy  feet   just got embossed…

My spirit always awaits for 

the blessing that can bestow…

a glimpse of thy magnificent  figure!

 

WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE : HAPPY


Wow! For the first time I am posting something for the photo challenge! Well ! rather than the challenge of photos,its always a challenge for everyone nowadays as to reply what makes them happy? What a simple question a nd simple should be the answer.

The things which bring smile on our face instantly without selfish thoughts- can be termed as the ones which make us happy.

For me,my cutie baby girl’s smile and her mischievous look brings happiness.

A walk on the beach in the cooling sands  during the sunset makes me more than happy.

The colourful bunch of flowers which decorate my home and my life.

The fluorescent greenery of the mountains with clouds hovering on them is a real pleasure to the eyes.

Moments spent near a rocky sea,where the waves collide noisily  and go back silently taking away all turbulence within.

A delicate pair of earrings which bring spark to my face do certainly  sparkle my eyes…

My prized possession ,my finger ring! Because that is connected to my life! to my soul .


A SIMPLE LESSON !


Once on a crowded street of LISSE,

a little boy of eight was walking down with canvas and paint,

amusing everyone who stared ,

some thought he was carrying the things for his Mom,

few pondered may be he is running an errand,

oblivious of the surprising glares,

he just trotted for long.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He went down to the end of the street , on the edge of the colorful fields,

where thousands of tulips were swaying with the wind and the scene was perfectly enchanting.

Taking out the stand ,he fixed,

the canvas and the brushes with him,

slowly he started stroking the soft pastels of the wonderful tulips…

Hours passed,he didn’t stop,

The sun-scorched and his cheeks got burnt,

Passers by and tourists of Keukenhof  had a look,

on whats going on his schedule.

 

 

 

 

A virtual world he laid,

aesthetically in rhythm and paint,

People started flocking in,

admiring the little lad!

some dropped coins,some few notes in the bag that hanged adjacent,

The little one was  engrossed,

with his muse and little did he glance…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Suddenly he saw a man dropping few coins,

he abruptly stopped and said to him,

“I don’t want money! Man!

“I am the son of a rich woman.”

 

“Then what brings you to this place,

all alone and painting in the sun empty stomach ,my son”!asked the man.

The little one replied, “Its my Mom…

she said my dear please go and

pursue your passion as you can,

for life isn’t that beautiful song,

which can be sung till the end,

Make your heart  contended

that …

you did what gave you happiness…”

 

 

IN PURSUIT


 

 

 

 

In pursuit of happiness,

the heart wanders,

in the dense jungles or while  crossing  troubled waters,

sometimes in arms of prostitutes he searches for the ensemble,

or falls  in feet of drinking or gamble,

hallucinating the seeker,

tremendous are lures …  in the world of beguiling  desires….

 

 

 

Like a nomad he can roam through steep mountains and roads,

living like an ascetic renunciating worldly chores,

meditating for hours to reawaken the sleeping force,

but Alas! he gets nothing in  search of his goal…

Money ,fame he  wants  even while in robe of saffron attire,

attachments of life never he leaves till the time he is on funeral pyre,

Why to forsake all these  or embrace the worldly sins,

when nothing leads  to the  truth….

even with all capabilities…?

 

 

 

The light one day dawns upon him,

at the right moment with a  gleam,

when  he has been tempered with sorrows and grief,

still   loving  every soul selflessly…

For then ,shall a hand be there,

to pull him  out of  dark,

illuminating the mysterious path,

absorbing the inquisitive thought,

caressing the soul with a golden touch,

showing the right paseo,

invigorating with HIS  grace ,

in the endless journey

of seeking thee and knowing the self….

BEING HAPPY !


 

Being happy is not a crime,

for being content ,

stops your restlessness in mind,

implying you are satisfied

by your strives …

being happy doesn’t mean ,

you have no worries,

neither does it shorten the

worldly flurry,

It is just a state of mind,where

you respect your body and soul

for being harmonised,

Where you accept that

life is not a piece of artefact…

Decorating decking it with

desires and pleasures,

will add to more agony  for sure,

So being wise you opt for happiness,

contentment with self,

smile on your face,

welcoming new challenges

with  humor and silent invisible  pain…

MAKE SOMEONE HAPPY!


 

 

Capability of doing wonders,bringing a smile even on dull lifeless muscles,

Ability to spread happiness in the dark hearts filled with sadness,

Skilled with intrinsic art to rejuvenate the deathly chambers,

Who has the talent so genuine to be so proficient?

 

Nourishing a heart with lovely notes of compassion,

Gratifying the presence by accomplishing a task with umpteen measures,

Pleasing a being with rendering beautiful leisures,

Infusing the life with enthusiasm…

 

 

These are the few traits of a wondrous human behavior,

A reflection of a persona with humbleness in nature,

Individuality of zeal and passion,

Zest and commitment to flourish cheerfulness in elation…

 

Blessed Iam to be a minute atom of this gigantic mission,

 Repelling upheaval vibes and creating resonance of reverberation,

Asserting a smile on my face and my lexis pouring from the heart,

I forever love to bring a gleam in everyone’s life with delight and charm….
