Be...!


Be…!

 

Be, like water

But that of a river, not pond

For it flows forever, moving on

Lively and regrets never

 

Be, like a tree

But of wild, not of fancy flower-pots

For it grows and bows

Offers shadow to all that goes

By, sticks to roots yet touches

Sky, asks for nothing but

A gentle hug and lets one fly

 

Be, like sea

But of deepness and silence, not to rage

For it accepts them all and yet stays calm

Cursed it may be, as left longing of own thirst

But life to many and carrier of pearls, just

A courage to dive deep, asks for no more

Glimpse of distant horizon, let’s you sail adrift

 

Be, like a soul

But that of a child, not of grown men-women

For it being a pure as dew drop upon the grass

Away from greed, and nothing to hide

And corrupt being those of later

Smiles for no reason, loves whatever be the season

Paints a rainbow in the sky, amidst dark clouds raging

Togetherness!


Togetherness!

 

Temptation of one distant and far

Silent night amidst murmur of stars

Left to burn in shadow of darkness

Who holds forth, dimly lit candle or bleeding heart ajar?

 

Looked all around, looked high above

Looked by dawn, and did so to dusk

Looked beyond sights and looked afar

Alas! Looked not within, looked not by the side

Not even once, O dear! Such pity

 

Ignorance being punishment, for

Dusk offers a glimpse, to

Poor of poorest, lover’s biased art

Un-imaginative, afraid of dark

Thus corrupt, fools, who else but retard

 

But, said none her heart, said none her eyes

Cried alike that candle burning slowly by her side

For she being the one of similar fate and tried

Fading in his shadow, yet showed him his path
