A Glimpse...



Love…

Feeling uncomfortable in the pompous crowd,
She held his hand…
His mere look enough to comfort her!
***

Nature…

Brand new slippers causing discomfort…
Decides to walk bare footed
And the cool wet grass comforts her!
***

A Deal……….

Then you weren’t comfortable…
Paying the amount from below the table
Now as an officer on comfort cushion… other side of the table!
***

Comfort…

Though request for pardon denied
The truth being revealed…
He felt a bit relieved!
***

Surrender…

Tensed up by thoughts of agony and pain…
Confessing to the Silence deep within
Tremendous Peace sets in!

The Tiny Power



An elephant lost its way,
And from the jungle track,
Landed up to a city road.

There he met a small puppy.
Tired & frightened, told his plight.

The puppy said unto him,
“Do not be afraid my friend.
Fear does not help us in any way.
Faith & Trust shall lead us on the right path
And help to reach home safe……
Come hold my tail, let me help you get your way.”

The courage and confidence of the tiny creature
The elephant admired….
And instantly agreed.

Together they walked on the silent road,
The moon & stars smiling at them
And showing their light guiding them!

Temptations............




Irresistible………



Tempted  to figure up
Attempted to
Aerobics…..
Brisk walks…...
Cycling……
Dieting……….
Treading…..

Loosing….. Inch by inch!

Flavour of fresh coffee…..
Richness of dark chocolates…..
Creaminess of yoghurt delights…….
Coolness of ice creams…..
Sweetness of desserts….
Takes over

Gaining…. inch by inch!

Tempted to shape up
Attempting to
Aerobics….
Brisk walks…..
Cycling.....
Dieting.....
Treading.....

An Encounter with Peace

                                                                                                                                                                                        
                                                          
                                                                             Needs satisfied…



Needs…. Needs….
Needs….and Needs….
This….. That……..
This way…..That way…..
This much…..and That much
Oh………… Never Enough!

Tired of seeking
Gasping for breath
Gave up…
Sat down …..
For a rest pause!

The pause not only gave rest,
But also peace and a new direction.
Leading to the silence deep within
‘What was never sought for!’


Seeking stopped...!

PS: Having truth revealed upon, I smiled and the Seeker in me smiled back, waving his hand faded out slowly. He shows off at times but only to disappear into the Silence once again!!

Essence of Life……

Love to Live…..
To Give & Forgive
And  Live to Love!



One way to live………..

Participating in a Celebration…
Adding an element of joy & Passion
A Tribute to Creation and Jubilation!



One life to live………….

Philosophy of Life.....
Is not what we learn and live
But that we live and learn!
