In waves

-


Life seems to be in waves,

After the lash of one

The falsehood of calmness

Reminds me of the next!

Still I strive being me,

And I watch the green grasses,

The distant homes

Lit in the darkness of night,

Like the lights on a Christmas tree.

The child in me 

Still manages to giggle and smile.

Unaware of what 'people' think!

And deep within I know

That I have been to those mountains

And I have spoken to the ancestors

 Of those grass blades and lillies…

Somehow I know, I belong there

Yes, to be belonged is the biggest

Fulfillment of life.

Belonged where disownment

Is absent in the equation!

Let the breeze in this wondrous daylight

Bring the fragrance of the past,

When long long ago, I had been here-

As Tagore said:

"I seem to have loved you in numberless forms,

numberless times…

In life after life,

in age after age,

forever."

When the waves come again-

I tell myself: 'you are a spiritual being

Having a human experience'

And somehow I find the strength to be here…

Where I belonged, may be forever.

Tall man

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...
