My Ponderings

Some friends are miles apart from me,

But in my heart they are always in view.

Childhood went and so did college,

Job & family are challenges new. 

A face remembered here or a name,

the face & name sometimes don't align.

It is said memories do fade with time,   

It is a blessing when the two combine.

We all have to live in the present, 

Time passes and goes by very fast.  

Neither worrying for imminent future 

nor hankering for the gone past

Tomorrow as the sun rises,

A new chapter begins for me. 

I ponder over my achievements,

work done and work yet not done.

Not in the materialistic way, 

I am sure you would agree.

Not in the way of popularity,

for me it is not a necessity.

Spiritual healing, is now my life,

to help heal and teach others to heal.

To remain cool and free from strife,

Thus achieve the progress spiritual.

What there after, you would enquire,

Even I do not know, it's just my call.

I am no saint and I am no seer,

A better person I want me to ensure.

Harbingers Of Bad Tidings

Harbingers of bad tidings are Aspersions and Doubts, 

Creating a distorted mind full of angry clouds.

Doubts leave painful scars on our souls,

Relegating to the background our cherished goals.

leaving one with blurred vision and unshed tears,

Future goes haywire when such a situation appears.

Sadness engulfs the tortured soul,

no bright light is there for it to flow.

Soul feels lost when harsh words are told,

It gets stifled by such callous hold.

Looking for a way to prove its innocence,

untruth becomes truth and truth is nonsense.

At the crossroad of time the soul stands,

what should it do, to its higher self it asks?

Look within and your strength you find,

emotionally you have already been fined.

Walk away slowly from the situation,

an evolving being need not give explanation.

Promise breakers Aspersioners and doubters,

from set goals try to derail you into dark clouds.

Truth is truth and truth will always hold its own,

untruth hold sway will one day be gone.

Like a phoenix you will rise again,

Into your own glory to forever rein.

Mask

My smiles hide my tears,

people take me for granted.

My laughter hides my fears.

That I may not be again fleeced.

I have always been happy,

taking whatever comes in life.

But I have found out sadly,

Friends carry with them a knife. 

In troubled times help theyneed, 

be it in cash or in kind.

When similar help is my need,

there is no cash to find.

I have finally learnt my lessons,

I learnt them the hard way.

You pay heed to my words,

keep loan seekers a mile away.

Such sharks are all over the world,

On your trust they do thrive.

Never trust till you're sure as gold,

otherwise you'll be less alive.

Nobody will now know me,

henceforth, I will wear a mask.

Such cheats in life do not trick me,

with talks of hard times & grandeur lost.

Now I practice my mask,

in the mirror with my smiles.

My shields no one can break,

which hides me behind my smiles.

Words

Let us put a price tag on words,
priceless would be their costs.
With compassion when uttered, 
bringing peace and ending wars.

Listen to the words of God,
which are very  precious indeed.
The words are not from surround,
But the heart where god does reside.

Harsh words uttered by relations,
hurt us but they are for  our reforms.
listen not to the spoken harsh tones,
but the message conveyed within its folds.

Words spoken by friends, near and dear,
are straight from the heart and very clear.
wellness at heart they hold never doubt or fear,

your problems they share by lending an ear.

Many lessons in life do words teach,
Through words we experience defeat.
through words we grow and spiritually reach
But no words are there when we are at peace.

Crossroads Of Life

At a crossroad of my life I today stand

Thinking what do I have today in my hand?

Turning back is not possible you said,

Much water has flown since we last met.

Going forward at same pace in the current direction,

I am warned of hidden perils in every situation.

Turning to the left or the right of the current path,

From the dear loved one I will most certainly depart.

Decisions in life we always make in haste,

Then have the hindsight of time going waste.

Not realizing that it was a lesson to be learnt,

Moving on with knowledge not to again get burnt.

We are Spiritual being living a human existence,

Learning is a part and parcel of ascendance.

Let me not lament for things mundane,

Next lesson to learn I am ready to face again.

A Shooting Star For Me And You

Once I saw a shooting star, 
falling from the sky. 
It lit up the darkness of the night, 
as it passed me by. 

So shiny did it seem to me, 
like a diamond placed up there. 
The long reddish tail behind it, 
seemed to be burning air. 

Scientists have a name for it, 
they call it a meteorite. 
But for me it is important differently, 
To make a wish with all my might. 

So I made a genuine wish, 
Let us see if it comes true. 
A wish to last till eternity, 
To give blessings for me and you.

Why Do You love Me ?

I wonder why he loves me so much 
Don't  know why he has faith in whatever I say.

Maybe with a few dreams in his eyes
He awaits a chance of his love to me to convey.

Upon not being able to talk to me
agitated and  imbalanced he seems to sway. 

Since when I am within his heart
This fact he tried to me convey

Quietly he came into my life
creating a place in my heart for him to stay.

Do I accept or reject
I am in a fix now what do I say?

These are the feelings of the heart
Complaints and grievances to whom do I convey.

I know fully well that our paths in life are different
But I am stuck in the ifs and buts today. 

This is just the quality of love
The waves of love sway sweetly and softly. 

Save us oh God from the evil eyes of the world
quietly and slowly let the waves sway.
