Miracle

Miracles do happen
They happen everyday

In every way

In Jan, feb, March  and May

They happen,

In the most unusual of forms

Beating all norms

Making a way out of nothingness

No matter what the mess

They are happening,

In every second, every moment of our lives

Whether you believe it or not

They happen,

If you really want it

Right there,

From the very bottom of your heart

Trust in it

Believe blindly

When you want something badly

The whole universe,

Conspires to give us just that

It’s as simple as that

Miracles are waiting to happen,

In your life

Only if you let it

Only if you give it the opportunity

Only if you dare believe in miracles

And you can’t just sit there

And wait for it to come to you

You’ve got to give back selflessly

Without any expectations

Work hard to be excellent at what you do

Success will come knocking at your door!!!

Pensive

A view within

the soul sleeps in

peaceful, serene..

A lush of calm

Sweeps over in psalms

Tranquil, unseen..

A thoughtful trickle

Flows into life

Beautiful, unknown..

A suppressed stifle

Cloaked in disguise

Artful, disowned..

A path well worn

Point’s to horizon

Blissful, pretty..

A spell adorns

Like magical amazon

Soulful, witty..

           

Just wondering...

If you weren’t here today

Breaking bread; making toast

Where else would you be?

Raking head; crossing coasts

If you weren’t this old

Crossing legs; dreadful boasts

How young were you?

Drinking pegs; thinking ghosts

If you hadn’t failed

Making faces; shedding tears

How would you recognize success?

Taking paces; gulping beers

If this path you hadn’t taken

Pleasing people; forcing smiles

Would you have followed your heart’s desire?

Chasing tweeple; making piles

If you had never broken up

Being nice; breaking hearts

Would you know true love?

Much more wise; playing the right parts

If you weren’t slogging night and day

Pulling socks; tying ties

Would you be bungee jumping?

Over rocks; tasting pies

If you were not earning just this much

Listening Shakira; dreaming big

Would you be a millionaire?

Drowning tequilas; taking digs

If you weren’t moonstruck

Singing songs; moaning wrongs

Would you be starstruck?

Earning dollars; lifting collars

If you had lived a perfect life

Racing cars; raking galleons

Will you have ever learnt?

Braving scars, life’s true medallions?

Dear god...

Of all the winds

That blow

Is there one?

That my way will go?

For every breeze

Rustling it’s way

Amongst the trees

Will there be one?

That unto me will sway?

In every cuckoo’s call

Floating through the air

During every fall

Is there ever one?

Meant for me to care?

As the leaves busy bustle

On hearing the bird’s sound

That sit on their branches and rustle

Could there be one?

That falls for me unto the ground?

In every lashing wave

That the shores get hit

Will it be me you’ll save?

From every obstacle grave?

Through every sun’s beam

The dust sparkles in it’s ray

Shining upon a timeless dream

Will it be me?

Who’ll get showered with your magical spray?

From every thought divine

Which journeys through crossroads

A path, I see shine

Is that the one?

That’ll lead me through this episode?

For every love

Yearns to fill you to the brim

Yet you need shove

Is this the destiny?

To which you want me to swim?

Treasure

What you feel unto me

Is what I feel unto you

For what you never see

Is what I was meant to do

A pearl?

A diamond?

What exactly is it?

Close your eyes and quietly sit

You’ll carve your treasure as you see fit

If not for now

Then will it be tomorrow?

You’ll manifest your love

Unto me free of any sorrow?

I have waited long

Yet I know you’ll come

I know I won’t be wrong

To say it’s through your heart 

You’ll seek me from

The moon’s up high

The tides are lashing

It’s time I need buy

To hold you from crashing

Shiny and bright

Is not all am made of

Shimmery and tight

You think of me and scoff

But

You need know this

I’ve been yours always

With one golden kiss

You can summon me to the surface

I can feel your pace

Getting closer and closer

It’s your only race

You dare dread being a loser

You cannot resist

Neither your dreams or destiny

Coz that’s what persists

Inspite of your screams or lustiny

Believe in me

Make me yours

Trust in me

Above everything you’ll soar

A l’il faith is all I ask

As bright as gold you’ll shine

T’is in endless glory you’ll bask

As long as you are mine.

Birdy

At the edge

Eagerly, she waited

To flap out her wings
To fly over the mountain ledge

 On a broken window sill

Listening, she sat

To the sounds of worthy prey

To swoop down on her kill

Over the tree tops

Elegantly, she flew

To where the winds took her

To move on till her heart stops

On a brambled bush

Momentarily, she perched

To feel the cool breeze
To lift up with a l’il jerky push

Deep in the woods

Her soulmate, she found

To love she surrendered

To rise high above earthly goods

Inside the nest

Together, they built

To hold on to one another

To dream of the very best

Come spring

The flowers bloom

She cuddles her babies
Beneath her feathered wing

The time has come

They are ready to fly

She heaves a heavy sigh

Knowing she has to let go of some

It’s a beautiful scene

As they embrace

Eager to fly out

It’s a wonder

What such love could mean

And now she waits

Looking out into the deep blue sky

To start life anew

Even though she had to part with a few!

Deep Within

For the life that beckons

Far beyond I reckon

A single beautiful thought

Changes everything

Not a penny here

Or one there

With which it can be bought!

There’s a single beautiful mind

It’s always been there

For you to look inside to find

Instead of everywhere

For every wish to come true

Believe in the magic

That you brew!

A single beautiful song

Helps you connect the pieces

Might have taken long

Without leaving behind any traces

Your own way you pave

Through every obstacle grave

Like a rock

That made you stumble

At every block

You moved on more humble

You pick it up and hold on tight

Till you see your way forward light!

A single beautiful feeling

Renders life a new meaning

“I can” or “I cannot” say you might

In the end you shall realise

That you were always right

For want of a belief

You’ve got to turn over a new leaf

For want of a goal

You’ve got to look within your own soul

For want of a wish

You’ve always had the power within you to unleash!

For want of your dreams

Live life with gratitude

For then there will be nothing

That you cannot achieve

No matter what the magnitgude!

Faith

Imagination creates reality

Feelings build life

Belief gives life to life

But faith can move mountains!

Happiness begets happiness

Love given returns back multiplied

Joy radiates abundance

But faith can move the universe!

Gratitude is everything

‘Thank you’ is magical

Feeling good is beautiful

But faith is magnificent!

Strength ushers you forward

Goals help you visualize

Destination drives you

But faith makes you achieve!

Friendship lasts forever

Family sticks to you

Prayer inspires you

But faith always exists!

Stumbling now and then

Teaches you life’s biggest lessons

Realizations come from failure

But faith never knows how to fail!

Focus attracts right thinking

Passion fires you up

Dedication brings confidence

But it’s FAITH and FAITH alone that makes all the difference!!

Crossing over

I wake up

from a shattered dream

so pure, so real

yet

i close my eyes

just

one more time

searching for the truth
amongst the lies

looking deep into memory lane

further and further

through darkened spaces

and

unknown faces

if only I could find

somewhere

what every beat of my heart seeks

down deep in my mind…

as the forgotten past

rewinds so fast

like it’ll everlast

through a play

with a magical cast

Salty drops peek out of

the eye

run down hastily

with every breathless sigh

but,

….a dream it was

                    just a dream……

i open my eyes

just

one last time

the world hasn’t changed

it’s the same blue sky

the same ol’ sun

i see no difference

for, maybe

it had forever changed.

Silent whispers

A distant call

From far far away and yet so near

I can’t see it but only hear

The silent whispers

There’s a song inside my soul

I write over and over again

Till it makes me feel whole

Like the passing wind

I can so feel but not hear

The silent whispers

I’ll always remember

Like it lasted forever

And ended so soon

A journey of faith and hope

I close my eyes and pray to find

The strength to cope

Standing all by myself

Holding onto the reigns of life

Calling out to

The silent whispers

Sing to me the song of my dreams

As I drive back time

I give u my destiny
And hold my hands together and pray

To be only yours I pray

Through every silent whisper!

Reflections

It’s not when you are not here that it hurts so much…

It’s when I know you’ll always be there…and yet….

Like water slipping through my fingers…

The harder I try to hold on….

The faster you seem to slip away…

You are not mine to keep….

I am not yours to weep…

Like every measured heartbeat….

It hurts so deep….

I dare not say anymore…not today…nor tomorrow…

Coz every second spent in your presence was mine to reap…..

I try and reach out …..

But empty space is all that I can feel about….

A simple wish…..

Seems to have been washed away in an early swish…

It’s been long gone now….

With every memory imprinted like a rock…

I graciously walked away with a bow….

But you’ve left with me a key for which there exists no lock....

Thoughts...

Every single day begins with light..

A dream broken by a thousand shards of light...

There's a simple wish that yearns to soar like a bird in flight...

A calling from deep within no matter what the plight...

A wordless whisper echoes the pounding heartbeat of a breathless sight...

Not a single answer to tell what's wrong from right...

Like the brave warrior's worthless fight...

As the battleground's cry resonates through the night...

A pitiless hope swells from within so tight..

Inspite of realising what could or what might...

Transcend beyond the depths of black or white..!!!

A pretty life.....

Across the velvety ocean’s tides

Over the mountains and beneath the ground

Life sprouts open from all sides

Mirroring reflections, escaping no bound!

Empowering a fresh new life

A new beginning and a whole new day

A recourse from the past for an early strife

Pounding heartbeat leading yet another way!

Spread beyond the sunlight’s reach
A bit here and a little over there

Cascading through without a breach

A pity it can’t be everywhere!

As the bell across the border tolls

Words spoken and pleasant phases

Come surging over translucent falls

Pouring into wide open spaces!

Pure magnificence if one can describe

With dotted ‘I’s and crossed ‘T’s

It’s not a book you can subscribe

Unless the pages run an infinite spree

A mere touch makes you feel alive

Beyond comparison and a breathless sigh

Only ‘HE’ knows if you’ll survive

True life with an all time high!
