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!

Am I changing??

It takes a wave to make you realize

That you’re touched

Stung by the sand and salt that comes along

To tell you that this is reality!



Reality that stands to be the bravest

Bravery that stands to be the purest

Purity that stands testimony to Belief

And a belief- that carries us forward!



‘Keep moving forward’;is what someone quoted

A trio of words that clinched it for us

Clinched what? If you may ask;

A Victory, which lives on in our Hearts



To win or to lose is not the quest

To play with vigor is the true test

If you fail to play along sans fear

It shows that you gave it your best!!

Meeting God....Meeting yourself!

God is within-I’ve heard it all
But why do we all realize this
Only after meeting a bitter fall;
Have we stopped looking for the force?

The force has been always beyond the sky!
It’s just the eye that fails to see
God meekly demands a simple HI!
And then, you’ll find yourself free

Free from all chains forever
You’ll be able to smile at your soul
And count all as one, together;
Isn’t that fine for a lifetime goal??

To be alone or together? - is the question
Are we on the right track?
Never mind all that they say;
To be happy always- is going to become your knack!!

If you ever get a chance to see the Gods
Let them know we love them
We’re all bliss-not weapons and rods
Alas! We’re a part of them!!

DIVINE INTERVENTION

For a new smile, my divine!
You make me cry a thousand tears….
For a light ray yet again,
Sun seems more away just as it nears……


For a smiling petal that I wish to pluck
You make me sprinkle many a drop of water;
For a peaceful day to go by
I run a mile-almost a quarter…..


I know no time like this
Where you just left me bereft
I know no rain like this
Where the splash had me swept

Oh Lord Divine! Is this a magic that you own??
Or it happens on its own?!
Just as I think I stand alone
You make hope grab me, and never let me feel alone!!

An Independence Day Morning!!

For today’s bright morning that is laced with sunshine,
A special pride nests in the hearts of every one;
A pride that bears a different charm today,
Coz our independence turns sixty-one.



Freedom of the mind and the body
Is what our freedom fighters snatched from them!
And finally when it did meet our path
Why is it that our actions became slaves of condemn!!



Just as we walk away from the times of chains,
Wonder is just what I do;
Why does freedom of thoughts result many times in pain?
What is freedom of action actually leading us to…?



So, time to let the conscience reign
This morning is precious for times to come
Stand up and recognize the call of justice
Lets set an example for the corrupt lot of some!!

Away by just a Call!!

Someone just rang the bell!
Oh! Time for me to get up and rush
As I rush out, it catches my eye
And just then! It just comes over me

Ahh! Only if I could help getting swayed
My old glory drapes me all over
Fever is this any??
Is what I stand and wonder

How could it not touch my inner senses?
One’s golden past always comes knocking again
A fool might beg to differ here
Only if he also knew the game is far from over

What I wish to script is happiness again!
For you, me and all!
Take me as still a sinister, your wish
But I say, I’m still away-only by a call!

Nostalgia

I fail to understand what hits me today
As I miss the lost waves in the sea of time
I mesmerize myself with tales of the last season
And roll down the window once again.

As I see ahead, the past beckons me
Or rather, it pines for me!
I miss my golden friends and the careless whispers
For the fights and make ups that did my world

Speaking of world, those were the days
When my world had just one form of tension
When life worries was only about marks
And fun revolved around rustic swings

Today I swing between the present and the past
What could have been a greater gift than my childhood?
Days that I could trade for a million dollars
Really! I still pine for that lovely life

And when I sit up and smile at the fond memories
I know what brings a spring in my step
Something that forms a part of my lifelong cherishes
Yes! I know what hits me is Nostalgia!!
