As I look up on a starry night,

I tend to let go of my urge to comprehend and be right.

Struck in awe of the magnificence of the universe

And the minisculeness of me

I wonder, wonder and just be.

We are all made of stardust

Or rather this exact magnificent universe is in you and me!

We are then stars manifesting as humans for a very short while,

All connected and still unique like pieces of a grand mosaic tile.

I wonder when these gazillion stars look down on us

From their vantage point, we too might look like

An incredible galaxy all lit and bright!

And they too in awe exclaim,

What a magnificent sight!

Dressed up in their brightest attire

They celebrate as they fall

In shades of crimson, scarlet and amber,

Look how they stand tall

Never in despair, they get ready for the journey to renew

In shades of crimson, scarlet and amber

Actually it’s their soul shining through!

The sun too never fades gently as it sets

Oh I need to set, it never frets

Setting the sky on fire and turning the ocean to shimmering gold

It moves on to rise on the other side and unfold.

The water beneath me is dark & murky

Might give a sense of gloom

I trust the light within

So I raise my head

Every morning and bloom!

(First Painting!!)

Stroke by Stroke I slowly strolled

Into the woods where the blue bells grow

As I walk alone, will I be lost?

In losing one self, I would be found

And then I saw you,

Lost in the woods,

But to the Soul, happily found!

Whistling among the trees, Goofing around

Flying on the magic carpet of blue bells bliss

You stretching your hand saying – Come Along!

Flying as high as you can

You reminded me of Peter Pan saying –

“Come with me where dreams are born

And time is never planned,

Just think of happy things

And your heart will fly on wings

Forever in Never Never Land!”

Let me let go of my desire to condense it into words

For the infinite love needs the expansiveness of silence

Unbound by utterances, it touches me in the pauses

So let me let go of the desire to bind it any form

For the infinite love, no one’s a stranger

And every aspect of this universe is home!

As it turns cold outside

Making it unbearable to survive

When darkens seems to be the mainstay

Let the love in your heart

Be your torch light

May you glow in it its warmth

And pass the warmth to every passer by

Will it melt the snow or make the sun shine bright?

Probably not.

But it will surely make you see the enchanting beauty

Of a frozen lake on a full moon night!

When I wake up to your call

I know you are talking to my soul

You take me beyond

The thought woven cob web of my mind

To a deep peace of this moment

Always there but we seldom care to find

I dare not try understand or comprehend,

Listen, feel and transcend.

My free willed messenger Godsent!

“Fall” & “Grace” were never meant to get along.

Until I see her fall steeply on rocks and sing a song.

In awe, I wonder as she surrenders

To this moment and accepts the mighty fall.

Does she quiver at the tip of the mountain standing tall?

Oh! She probably does like every other soul.

Still she takes the leap of faith

Making the world spellbound,

With her beauty & grace.
