At the feet of God

Image
By
To,
The Angry Self...

Beyond words,
Beyond existence,
Beyond what we all claim, we know.
Lies a modest place,
A place where we must go.

Labyrinth of sorrows,
A plethora of doubt ceases to exist.
And a new hope sprouts.
Without even asking,
We untangle our whereabouts.

Serenity, love, answers flow,
Foundation of fear erodes.
We meet our true self,
At the feet of God.

    I am not very religious, my definition of a "god" is quite different, maybe they are the same but perception might differ. Beautifully worded yet again, Saru. I am so happy you are back in India. Have a great time. :) Take care. :)

    Alrite, so when I am in this place where I cant think stright I am going to come back here Saru.

    The serene place within us, is there for everybody, just the matter of finding it, 'untangling it'.

    Simple nuances of life, postively put. Its all about HOPE.

    Are you coming to Pune. I will mail you :-)

Being Human

By
Under the roof of winter, Latches of my door open without making a sound. It's cold out there, Someone lost his ground. My soul shivers, Not that I'm cold. Someone from my land, Sleeps under the bridge while dreaming of gold. How can I... tuck myself in the quilt? When the winter storm is blowing, Hopes they have built. I have to get up, Do something... Before I start questioning who am I? And, they start saying...'Humanity dies.' Let's work out something, Take a resolution. Walk across all kinds of bridges, And, just be human... From centuries people are migrating for work or for better opportunities. But, not everyone has a smooth sailing...some live under miserable conditions. Most heart wrenching fact is nobody helps them, not even people from their own countries. I know, everybody is busy chasing the bigger purpose of life. But don't you think we should help people in need? Let's try to be better human being...

I Am Not Alone

By
Last year blessed me, He walked silently into my life. It was Love, That took me in its stride. One evening we walked holding hands, Then, I told him what I felt in heart. He said we were one soul, Who were living in parts. To bring the parts together, We fought with the world and tied the knot. Being one soul, Gave life a whole new spot. Chirping birds, floating clouds, Nature conspired for us. Always swimming against the tide, Life was in an adrenaline rush. This year cursed me, He walked silently out of my life. It was Death, That took him in its stride.       Yesterday his soul was saying, Fearing memories will fade, he can’t move on. He will stay and admire me, Standing always by my side from dusk to dawn.

Rewind - September 2023

By
 I wrote the following in September. Sometimes, I feel I will forget the art of writing couplets because I am not writing at all this year. I strongly believe you have to practice to hone your craft. And I am not doing that. Perhaps I schedule a time to write a poem. Or I need better time management skills. Date Published 09/05/2023 मुझे उसके जाने का इतना अफ़सोस नहीं हुआ  जितना इस बात का कि इतने सालों तक उसे रहने ही क्यों दिया  Love, Saru
