THE EARLY DAWN

Did the morning dawn knew

I was wide awake the previous night

…

searching for the luminescent light

that which illumines me forever….

How come  then the sun rose

Earlier than ever

My Lord  must have noticed

my fumbling in the dark

at the odd hours…

HE takes care,HE is concerned,

A thorn pricks me and HE is hurt

So why do  then, I be afraid

Of the long tedious unseen desert

When HE showers the rain of love

When I’m lost and falling with thirst….

This morning dawned

earlier than ever…

HE hath sent the Sun to me,

to guide me through the obscure

and motivate me in every endeavor

infusing strength and vigour…

FAITH !

What lies forth !

round the bend,where I can’t see!

A blind corner ,

a cliff dangerous,

a valley of flowers

or a dangerous rift!

Is the river flooded,

Can I cross it without oars,

will there be a boat for me

or shall the shore reach beneath my feet in seconds!!!

Is there a palace awaiting my presence

Is there a hut to shelter me in storm,

Will I ever get a tree

when I walk in the scorching sun for long!

Is this my path ,where I tread,

on which I step upon,

or was it around the last corner,

which I left across?

Restless mind, flickering flame

fickle thoughts shall ruin in vain,

brighten the dimmed light of hope

in my  heart !

O! My lord ! with your grace,

Till I walk on the road of destiny

with belief in mind and heart full of faith.

THE SINKING SHIP !

The fleeting ship drifts  swiftly in the ocean,

 majestically wading through the mighty waves,

facing the winds vigorously ,

heading towards a  faraway destination…

 

The gigantic mast blows with the  wind,

navigating the direction ,

equilibrating the speed,

on the voyage … in search of the horizon,

where  sun and the earth meet .

 

over the smoothly moving ship,

 suddenly  grey clouds  hover,

darkening the path …

visibility becomes blurr…

 

In the storm of the raging fears,

the ship of life  quivers,

apprehending to get abandoned ,

The belief becomes shaky and wavers…

 

How to escape the unknown tempest,

what to  hold onto in the darkest,

no light to guide or steer the wheel…

The mind becomes pessimistic.

 

When the last thread of hope breaks,

when knowledge dissolves in the rage,

a twinkling light flashes across,

A lighthouse is seen in the midst of the waves…

ILLUMINATION

Inner light (Photo credit: Colin 30d)

Illumination!

is

what is needed in our life,

with so much of darkness unfathomed,

and the path to our destination

gets lost everytime.

*****

wonder what makes us walk,

our inner light

or a guiding star

far away from the earth

sparkling bright!

*****

Whether we get abandoned or estranged ,

there is a light shining our way..

to let us know

who we are..

where do we stand …

and what for!

Inner light (MSH0209) (Photo credit: Mags_cat)

A small flame of candle,

or an earthen lamp,

light from the  lighthouse,

or the dazzling luminance,

every light has its purpose,

serving the life with a fervour…

*****

The illumined stars of this Galaxy

the sun and the moon,

are immortal…

since aeonian times

  as they light the universe,

brightening the creation  of the Almighty…

*****

Illuminating for ages …

they are the illumination…

illumined

by the greatest illuminator!
