Invisible hand

the pond was serene, the crystal water sparkling
in the morning sun, the fishes were playing
lotus blooming in rising glory of morning sun.
all of a sudden every thing went wrong.

The water got muddy, the fishes disappeared
the pond was no longer holding the sun
in its heart, the water got murky, only the sun
stayed as it was watching it all from the heaven.
Watching through muddy waters, missing calm.

Sit down visitor, wait for a little while
don’t think that it was this way always.
Pause, think and look for the invisible hand
which pelted the stone, destroyed the calm
then ran away without being seen by any one.

May be he did it just for fun, or may be because
his unhappy heart hated the peaceful calm.

Soul

Such a simple sweet word,
but without it our coming
to the earth is meaningless,
life is worthless,
the body is only the covering
around this eternal light,
Our real existence, is
not the outer brilliant petals
but the sweet nectar inside
bodies are just the shells
covering the pearls called souls.

Keep this pearl dazzling white,
that’s how it was given to you
and when you will leave the
shell behind, your real worth
will be judged by the pearl.
The beautiful petals
will wither with time,
and the day you will leave
for final destination,
soul will be the only thing
picked up from within you.

If you think its too tough to
keep this gift spotless white
in this world brewing with
temptation, greed and spite
think of the oysters
who keep it glowing white
facing torture of splashing waves,
deep dark abyss and harsh sand
yet they keep unscathed the pearls

Farewell amigo

You think I am too loving and naïve
I should change and become vile
and corrupt because this world is evil
and angels like me are destroyed.

Amigo you call yourself my wellwisher
yet you want to ruin all that is good
I don’t think this world is evil, and I will
rather strengthen my virtues than discard.

I will rather make myself strong
so strong that I bloom like a lotus
and face all the scorn and tease
wait for the sun and the Gods.

Amigo, friends come and go they cant stay
soul is our only companion which will stay
and lead us to the gate of heaven or hell
I cant betray her my amigo, farewell !!!

Child of light

A child of light captured in dark
eyes that loved colours and flowers
roaming among aching, dead souls
paying for her fragile innocence.

She roamed around those dark
alleys thronged with undead souls,
languishing in that endless dark
just like her, snatched away from light.

Her captor thought he had her
because she was losing her light
then one day a thread of light
came down from above to touch.

No one was around then, all her guards
were far away, the light turned into
a ladder, the child climbed the ladder
back to the land of light and colours again.

Love, compassion and friendship

All the angels were playing in heaven’s garden
When they noticed their darling friend
Compassion has been missing these games
Since long, how long they don’t even know.

Love and friendship started to search
Saw her sitting on a cloud
Far away from bustling crowd
They tiptoed to her to startle her.

Before they did their hearts prevented
For she was gazing so aptly down
When they followed her gaze they saw
A speck of gentle light shining there.

Compassion saw them and beckoned
Together they flew down to earth
The light was a gentle soul in plight
Surrounded by dark shadows and pits.

Everytime a shadow reached out for her
with its icy, cold fingers, or she moved
too close to one of the pits, compassion
prevented her using her unseen power.

Friendship and love hugged compassion
the light which created thereby
destroyed all the shadows, filled up the pit
together the three flew back to heaven.
