What’s Your Gift??

The wind blows and brings a pearl
You think it’s the one that belongs to an oyster
Something then whispers slightly in your ear,
And it finds you then, smiling like a victorious fighter!

The fight is nothing more than this world
The world that we all fight every living day
A struggle that we all bear with unknowingly
With our hearts and wit!

Wit does not conquer all, courage does
Doting mothers will swear by it
A martyr, if he were alive
Would live it in his last moment

Moments are all around us!
Some Good, Some Very good
There is no moment that is bad
The gift depends on its wrapper


We wrap our own gifts
Innocent perceptions form the ribbon
The present is what I wanted
I make it my own- Gift!!

Gratitude

This life is your gift,

This gift is your blessing

This blessing is your way of life

This way of life is your slave

This slave is your master

This master is a slave to your grace

This grace is my fortune

This fortune is your mercy to me

This mercy is my destiny

This destiny is your glory

This glory is your existence

This existence is your expression

This expression is your proof

This proof is your lovingness

This lovingness is my life

This life is your permission

And this permission - is my gratitude!!

Gratitude, that keeps me alive every new day!!

The Uplifter

It was a lonely day,
I felt so weak and down
It seemed, there was a lock on my pray
The ground seemed dull and brown,

Oh! I missed the green of the earth
The Eyes felt betrayed and ignored by the divine
I longed for another life,another birth
I longed for happiness, feeling as if It never was mine

And then, the rainbow dawned
And you entered our lives
With you, we made an unbreakable bond
Like dolphins and water –when they take their dives

You walk with us on every step,
Make us believe it measures a foot
You bring such joy into our hearts,
That enters life, even in a log of wood.


And as I stand where I am,
You lead me into the light
I realize you’ve taken me up,
On a God-kissed heavenly flight!!

There Is Something……

There is something in you,
That steals me away from me!
A stoic silence and, words that are few
Make the distant between us look like a Sea.

The Blue Sea and the Virgin Rocks
Want to tell their own tale,
Or is it our own story?
Wonder we as the wave falls pale.

The wave rises time and again,
Telling me that now you are near,
The distance gets closer and closer
Akin, an eye calling back a dropped tear!

Tears –are what best seals the love we share
We will never be scorned again,
Coz the heart now wants to scream
“Can’t let the wait go in Vain!”

The wait, wants to fly and touch the sky
Is begging for another wing,
I almost feel like giving in,
Coz , I know…there is something!

A Winter Lesson

The snow barely feels melted

The trees with Ice kissed leaves hardly seem bent

The wind takes a swirl around my hair lock,

I almost feel touched by a blessing that’s Heaven-sent!



The sky seems touched by a hue

That leaves the cloud contours revealed,

Chapped lips that tell their story

Wish to now go zipped and sealed.



A serene silence is what they want

Let’s give them the winter peace

For ages, the dew that comes revisiting us

Season post season; now looks like dreamy grease



Grease that clouds our vision,

Makes us forget our true worth

Winters weren’t all about Oak and Teak

It’s also about the nebula of a tree - a sapling’s birth!



Birth is what touches us the most

But so does a second birth!

Second Birth happens when we look within,

When completeness covers the dearth!
