The hurtful plant

The plant grew
Thinking it is kind
It made friends
With whoever came near
But all of them bled
Hurt by its vicious thorns
None would hear it shout
To stay away
Its voice mixed with sweetness
Ignoring the warning
They went close to it
And bled!

Pauper

For the world he is a pauper
But he is among the richest
His chambers full of love
Compassion and harmony
Words filled with kindness
Thoughts full of joy
Happy and content
Not asking for anything
From the world
Embracing it as one!

Like a warrior

Like a warrior
Who sets aside all his weapons
Burdened by the pain of wars
She untied all the beautiful ornaments
One after the other
The jewels that were once precious
And shone bright
Were now a burden and lackluster!

Where

Where are the stars that shone so bright
The moon that spoke to your heart
Where is the bed of roses that was laid for you
The hands that always caught you when you fell
Where is the longing that made your heart beat faster
The beauty and the thrill of life
Where are you, Where am I
Who are you, who am I!

Clinging

Clinging to life
Clinging to love
Gasping for air when you are drowning
Searching for some light in total darkness
Looking for a hand to walk together
That heart which beats together
The look that take you to eternity
The tender kiss that seals you from the world
Feeding on praises, kindness
Living like an insignificant giant
Surrender! Bow to the divine! Melt in the cosmos!

The tree

The tree shook itself
To let all those fruits  fall
That were hanging loosely on it
With only the firm ones remaining
The tree felt in peace
And less burdened
To focus steadily
On the purpose of existence!

You

Toiling tirelessly,

Working all the wakeful moments,

Unmindful to the luxuries of life, 

Your unrested feet

My dear ones,

Have taken you close to God

Without even your own knowing!

Waking up

Waking up from the long, deep slumber,

Closing her heart's Chambers

She gazed steadily at the light

Shining between her eyes

Walking firmly, without faltering

She stepped into eternity.

Wanderer

Without an address

A name, or any fame

Without any desires

And no possessions, 

She walks

Along the lanes of the world

Pausing, falling, laughing

Feeling the pain and joy of life

Alone

The vast open space beckons him
High up in the mountains
Where all you have to smile to
Are the stars, the rocks, the wind
And amidst them the silent souls
Who though unknown to you, knows you
Loves you, guides you
And makes you shine like a star
You leave behind everything
Even the precious ties
Not knowing what lays ahead
With empty hands and a barren heart
Walking ahead holding the string of life!

Safe from all the harm

Don’t lose that smile, don’t lose that hope

When weighed down with troubles

Try not to drown with it

But let the troubles sink down

Without you inside

Emerge from each darkness

With a greater radiance 

Keep that smile

Keep you safe from all the harm!

The shining Truth

The heavily laden body

Weighed down

By the adornments

That covered  

The beauty within

She struggled

To bare all

And reveal

The shining truth

Healing the world

Sitting by her desk with a pen

She stared at the blank paper 

Many words came to her mind

Different images criss crossing

Perplexed, powerless, clueless

She looked around and saw

A statue that stood tall

In the silence it uttered

Many stories of the world

The hatred, the confusion

The disharmony, disillusion

The wounds and the cries

She listened carefully

Feeling the pulse of being

Her heart bled and love poured out

Spreading through the web of life

Healing the wounds of the world
