I Will Go On

When I have set out on a journey to mysterious;
Pray that the road is long,
Full of adventure,
Full of knowledge;
And the destination a blessed one.

Why wonder?
Where I am going?
When I am going?
How I am going?
With whom I am going?
But, I am going,
And I will continue to go on.

To chart out the uncharted,
To map the unmapped;
To discover the undiscovered,
To like the unliked,
To care the uncared,
And to love the unloved.

The Test Of The Thunders

Out of the day that shone,
Inside the night that frightened,
From the north to the south,
And from the east to the west.
Thank whatever ‘You' gave.

For the impregnable interior,
Despite the flimsy exterior.
In the ambush of booting events,
Let's not grimace nor bawl aloud.

Beneath the impregnations of chance,
Let the head be gory, but unbowed.
Beyond this consign of fury and snuffle,
Looms large the revulsion of the gloom,
And yet the peril of the times,
That smashes along the coast and beyond,
Finds, and will find us, undaunted.

Will it matter how safe the doorway?

Ignorance Is Beautiful

She taught me two things,
‘Ignorance and Beautiful.'

One day, she told me,

'Let me tell you,
The meaning of Beautiful.
God is beautiful,
Nature is beautiful,
Life is beautiful,
Love is beautiful,
Care is beautiful,
Share is beautiful,
Understanding is beautiful,
Trust is beautiful,
Faith is beautiful,
Passion is beautiful,
Compassion is beautiful,
Air is beautiful,
Water is beautiful,

My Plants Tell Them All

As I walk into the Sun,
See the faint silhouette image,
Bright shiny and colorful,
The properties like and unlike;

The rays emanating contained,
The nuisances too mirage,
Will it or won't it?
The matter stuck for life;

As my green plants show,
The shrunk and the wilt,
The browner, I wonder, how?
Not that they plan to cover,
The part or the whole of it.

Guess it, that we uncover,
The lest the matter stood,
In anticipation of a hood,
The sparks the blue and green,

Give Back My Soul

Give back my soul,
You took it away one day,
Or I had given you,
On rent some day,
Give back my soul.

Life had happened before,
Life had happened since,
Life will happen henceforth,
But give back my soul.

The soul was my property sole;
The loss I would not bear
I have nobody to console,
Please give back my soul.

I want those happy days back,
I want those serene times back,
I want those joyous memories back,
Give back my Soul.

On The Dream Board

On the Dream board,
How does it feel like?
Do you really sleep?
And see a moving film.

Or you are wide awake,
Thinking of the alternatives,
And the varying promise.

For a problem that has had,
Beseeched you for long enough,
Be solved for once and all.

There is something, somewhere.
That calls, and wakes me up.
From sleep, deep sleep, in fact.
Always and often it has,
Happened, but I hardly know,
What it has been so?
Curious and imperious.

The Sailor Needs To Leave The Harbor

The pathways, the entry and exit of hope,
Continue to baffle, poke and choke us.
The fears, the heat, the cold, the wetness,
Continue to rub against the softness of the skin.

Fear and Love never walk together,
Neither yesterday nor today or ever hereafter;
As hope and retreat are never thought together,
Either trust or faith will ever need a plumber.
For the love, care and share of all together,
The Sailor needs to leave the harbor.

As the ship sails into the sea,
The thunders strike, heavily the droplets fall,
The faint memories make a way through,
Of a man waiting to pick the warm,
Eyes above, arms straight, voice yell,
Of a recipient riding the final bye,
And the world shall not understand, why?
The days dusk, the nights dawn,

Believeth As We Seeth

There was this small child,
Attending a post-nursery class.
Today was a big day,
There was a painting competition.

As other children, our
Toddler was too excited.
The teacher came and announced,
The topic of the art was,
'The Sky and The Earth.'

The eyes lit up,
The brains cracked up,
The minds enlightened.
Just one hour to explain,
The mysteriousness of,
The Natural Cycle.

Time flew like the supersonic,
The hour ended with the cup of tea.
