Stalking a Soofi

-


I'm stalking a soofi…

A soofi who has the air of mystery, 

And it feels like he see the souls

Than the carriage.


He has prematurely greyed hairs,

Smile is of an innocent child,

 His words stir your soul-

Unpleasant realities served on a platter.


The soofi who can feel at home,

Lying on the floor laden mattresses-

Where they sell body for a living…

Does it resonate with someone who said,

I came for them?


The inconspicuous mundane moments,

Captured for the world,

As if that's his duty-

To show how important those mundane moments are-

He makes you think.

Think of your triviality,

He winks, smiles and walks away-

To capture another life-

Not expecting anything from life.

He falls in one among the very few

I admire…


Soofi, I'm stalking you-

When it's dawn and you hear-

The Fajr, through the Zuhr,

Asr, Maghrib and till your lantern 

Is put off after the Isha...

Life is full of surprises and unknowns But be sure you are safe, Angels send angels for you, And such an angel is this tall man! Me, waiting at the casualty waiting room, My mind constantly telling me, You are going to meet a person - That person is tall. We all have these intuitions And we have ignored it from we started Becoming ‘intelligent’. In the pursuit of that we missed the innocent inner voice that spoke. I looked around, no I didn't see him. Yes, I did see many tall people But they were not this person. You just ‘know’. Before even I met him, I was given his description. And I just knew who walked through the door, I knew his name, I knew it was him! The introvert me* Spoke to him and strangely I was researching on his area of expertise  For no reason… Now I do realise he too is an introvert. But we just knew each other At a different level. But being total strangers we didn't communicate that. He was instrumental in a big decision  And it's culminatio...

Blessed are the meek

What you see is not what it is, It is much beyond. Behind the smoke There is a colourful bloom. At the moment it's smoke, It's anxiety and worry. Just take a moment and believe That the smoke is about to subside And die, The bloom is to be visible. Don't mistake that bloom Just appeared from no where. It was in the process all along, But what you saw was just the smoke! Trust, when you can't see. The magic is in brewing... Rejoice in everything, And joy will dawn upon you. "Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth."

Angels and me

I went through my journey of seeking, I'm still seeking… I have transformed from that me to this. Not that my core changed, But, yes, my perspectives have changed. Somehow, I feel I was reinventing the child in me, Unlearning to see the magic of life! Still, being human we flaw. Then, trusted without seeing, May be I still do, But felt an urge, and I asked My guardian angels to show That they are there watching. I didn't know what I was to see. And yesterday, an intensely cold day, I travelled in winter clothes, Huge coat, my knit hat and woollen gloves. While in bus I kept all these extra clothes aside. As I was to disembark, I wore all those back. As I was getting out, I realised  I didn't wear gloves. I went back to my seat. No, it wasn't there. I checked my bag, my pockets, the coat, No! I liked those gloves. I felt sad and a bit surprised  to not to find it. I went up the hill, my usual trail. Did my usual chores at work And even told my friend that I missed my glo...
