BEAUTY - A Rejuvenator !



I find beauty in the morning dew whose fall is awaited by the night thirsty creatures.

In the greenery that invites me to be embraced and is keen to be mingled with the mud when befooted.

In the sparkle of flowing water progressing since Creation waiting for someone to flow with it.

In a nest of care when the mother feeds its child beak to beak.

In the final stroke of paint that pampers every bud embowered in its leaves….the bud, that boasts of its tenderness when it is half-opened and of its flamboyance when it blooms happiness in two hearts, when all has been said by the petals and not words.

In the narrowest ray serene that emanates from the brim of the silver sphere….at times, shyly hidden behind the puffy clouds attempting to recollect its oozing purity, making vehemence pine and crave….at others, pouting its bosom, vividly defining its elegance paragon, quenching dreary deserts, overwhelming seas and oceans.

In the faint mischievous breeze that floats across my face to benumb my senses….to trifle with my hair and get entangled in its curls so that it can elude my chiding look and befriend my heart as it moves on

In the last drop of water that trickles from wet locks….that gives up its all to mark a trail of water, keeping it drenched in its love till life is sustained and making it yearn for the ambrosia when the bubble of life is nothing more than the invisible air.

In a sleeping face, undaunted of all worries, alluring me to experience the chant of a sweet little kiss to let all consciousness fade away leaving me in a state of charisma.

In the smile that says “All is good” when the road you are trudging seems all uphill and says “I am there” when you are amidst odds.

In the feeling that invokes a gesture when someone holds your hand and all beyond desires is achieved without a say.

Every beat of such feeling orchestrates my heart !
The music is tuned…
To the song of my soul
To the dance of my joys that soporifies me with the elixir of love that imparts life to this what we are leading and not living


UTOPIA



“I wish to sing the way you sing
I wish to fly the way you fly
Notes as light as your feathers ooze from my heart
And up in the sky, they dance and make merry
My bosom is filled with the essence of joy
A gush of thrill fills my every nerve
They are so exhilarated, they seem to conjoin
And weave tiny wings that could take me to a flight
To a world out of this world….Unexplored, full of incredulity
My very own land, the Utopia !”…………

……………said the little girl
To a hovering humming bird
Looking upto the sky
As if castles do exist in the air
Then turning to the tiny creature
With eyes as big as hers
The former almost a pool now
The latter still shining bright !

The little girl has grown up
And grown up within me
But, I still look for a flight
That could take me to the Utopia !

It’s the land of flowery grounds
All goodness painted white
Where blossoms form a patchwork all throughout the year !
All friends are nature gifted
Their smiles and bloom fail to fade….

I run in all directions
A foot here, a foot there
Like the wilderness, always bare !
Tickling and playing with the air
Which loves curling and then uncurling every strand of my open hair !

The waters call me, far and wide
Shining and sparkling in the never subsiding daylight
Unlike the world we live in…..
Where all is governed by laws at every stage of life
Joys and sorrows are flipped
All wings are meant to be clipped
Where tireless efforts can’t keep you from getting entangled in a mesh of reality whenever you rise above it forgetting the ugly faces portrayed by it.

But, that’s not the end !
My wings have strength unfailing
Which is bound to be prevailing
To soar high in the sky
To sprinkle joys in worlds unseen
To splash colors in the greyness
Till all Creation is serene…

I will move on….and it’s a promise I will !
Till the horizons of both worlds meet…
One of the reality
The other of my Utopia !
