It’s both a blessing and a curse...

Patience ...It's both a blessing and a curse...

Calm and Tranquil...my mind is at peace

Mother Earth is at ease...

My mind is educated to know...

Land is toiled hard to sow...

I learn to live...

Land bears everything to give...

Day in and day out my mind patiently bears the unspoken threat...

Land wears away under the selfish hearts ...

Stress thwarts my mind of unkind acts

Cutting away trees,harms Mother earth, a fact...

Gushing thougts of rage steal my peace

Floods carry away habitants to decease

Nor does my mind rest

Nude plains with no bird's nest

Patience ,indeed a blessing and a curse...

If something goes wrong 

Nip in the bud,Never be quite...

Or Sure we have to take flight!

Childhood

Give me back the days I lived...

Under the protective shield

Of love,affection and concern

Filled with guidance care and expectations!

Father filled life with luxury

Mother packed life with love

Sister shared everything

Brother was there always my the side!

Family was my world 

I had a Lifetime experience to be told

All was well and Fine

With God's grace Divine!

Great were those days,with hugs and lots of Love

Today I spread the same everywhere

Now the world is my family

Still give me back the days I lived...

Why so serious...!

Sky is dark and scary

No Stars with streaks of lightening

Darkness spreads across,So what 

Every cloud has a silver lining!

Why so serious...

Earth shakes ,Tremors bring down 

Skyscrapers down from its place

Get up ,build again with space

Change your ways with better pace!

Why so serious...

River overflow bridges,flowing off the banks

Roars Tsunami in full swing

Life rattles like thrown off a swing

Save ocean beds to brings back peace in no time!

Why so serious...

Nature is cool,Humans prove to be fools

Keep up your true spirit

Live a blessed life with nature

Seriously be serious not to disturb her!

Now Be serious...

Day in and day out

The sun shines brightly!

Birds chirp happily!

Flowers bloom merrily!

Wind blows gently!

Water gushes freely!

Heat spreads gradually!

Life springs earnestly!

Be Serious ,Nature is great

Conserve and preserve it! 

Everything is meticulous!

All is perfect!All is well!

Words are not enough...

Little sparrow wanted to fly high like the eagle

Flying high above to its dismay

I can teach you fly high

Rest on my wings and never fly...

No,no said the weakling...

Not a good idea ,Goodbye!

Crossed a group of geese 

Flew the flight with ease 

Join us we'll lift you up

You'll float in the air ...catch up

Never can I do that...

To forget my true self,Goodbye!

Wonder came the crow from nowhere

Cawing ,cawing calling its peers from everywhere

Gave a glimpse at the sparrow

Threw a wise look like an arrow

Words are not enough bro

You can only be of help...

Think deep,taste the essence of thoughts

Deeds speak a lot more than words

Firm you steps ,take flight

Journey into the world with delight!

Give yourself the helping hand

For you are most blessed with a magic wand!

Never seek for help outside

Everything is in store inside...

Seek in,Plunge into your conscious 

To cherish the hidden treasure for sure

Almighty packed you right with gifts

That is a perennial source of life that lifts!

Little Sparrow happy and gay

Little sparrow kept wandering

Hills,mountains ,valleys without fearing!

Chirped its way to peace and glory

Having fun and no fury!

After tasting life's secrecy!

Strength

I smile not always

At people making fun

disheartening others by

gossiping,boasting or bullying

Shoot back without fail

Strong am I not...?

I smile  tirelessly from morn till dawn

at the innocence of children

and to every humane act 

Send a warm welcoming note in times of trial 

Strong am I not...?

I cry over spilt milk,yes I do...

but never will I ever spill it again 

bundle the memories  in a haystack 

burn them to ashes anyway

Strong am I not...?

To wish others good luck even in times of my adversity

To give a helping hand without their request

To give without expectation

To try and try until success 

To be humble and patient

To be strong...

In love

In Life

in Virtues

In Peace 

is MY STRENGTH!

How I wish I can say so.......!

Know thyself...

Know thyself before it is too late

For the world laughs at you as if it is great

Pokes if you are dumb

Criticizes if you feel guilty

Shuns you if you are meek

Runs over if you are slow !

Know thyself 

You are the ruler of your fate

You are a  born winner,

You decide your way

You chisel yourself

Your are nature's best creation!

Know thyself 

To bring about the greatness all around

To bring peace and enlightenment into the world

To move ahead with diligence

To be the change you wish to be

To be the best of God's Creation on Earth!

Grab the opportunity 

March forward armored with morality

To Prove to the world

Your are the one and one unique!

You are great!

So Know thyself...

In a dream

Keep going,keep moving

Keep trying and Keep winning

Death

I ran through the wilderness of my life in search of a place without  anxiety ,pain or loss. I slumbered and woke up to feel the heaviness in my body and couldn't move even my eyelids .My whole life flashed across me.I enjoyed the happy moments ,felt surprised at the people who had been a moral support to me in my life,whom I've taken for granted...how ungrateful was I...,then felt the pain of disappointment  but it was a blessing in disguise ...,why did I fret over it ?!..God bless!Now I lead a blissful one..filled with  love ,gratitude and peace!

Silence

Deep down in my heart 

Within the closed wall of my mind

Enclosed in my peaceful thoughts

Glowing in my fresh smile 

Sprinkling from my timely help

Generous in my gentle moves

Soft silky love filled nods

Sweet Slumbers with a smile

Kisses to a newborn 

Flipping thru the pages of memory

Strolling by a gushing riverside

Gazing at the full moon

Relaxing on the greens pread meadow

Listening to music not the lyrics

Deep in meditation and Prayer

Silence plays the magic...!
