On a Silent Note...


The rain seeped through the clouds and without warning, flooded the ground. It was one of those heavy showers which stopped after some time and left behind muddy grounds and a lot of humidity. Around six, I looked at the sky turning into a beautiful palette of golden, red and yellow. Silence came through. The only sound which could be heard was the crying of the eagle in some distant part of the world called sky.

I sat on my bed, and through the net covered window, patiently read what the sky wrote. The world which we call “sky” was right now painted in the colour of red. And as soon as the sun set, the world up there and where we stood became more silent. “Everything symbolizes something.” I heard a voice say. It was, without doubt, my soul. “Everything that happens or comes in one’s life teaches us something. When you were born you accepted the earth and the sky as a part of your life, like I accepted that now I have a physical body.”

“I had no option but to accept them.” I continued with the conversation, afraid to lose it, because only when I talked to my soul I had a feeling of being above humans, beyond life.

“No, you did. Everything has a spirit - the sky, the earth, the bed on which you are sitting, the light in your house… the living things which can’t speak like grass, flowers, sun… In the physical sense they can’t talk but if you listen very carefully you can hear their spirit talk. Their souls have their physical appearance as grass, flowers, etc. like I have my physical appearance as you. Now back to your question. You had two paths… either you would have accepted them which you have and when you did you respected them and their soul respects you in return. Or you wouldn’t have accepted them and then your soul wouldn’t respect you either, that means that the sky might have created havoc for you. It might have started to rain heavily when you were out without an umbrella. Or it could have destroyed your house by tearing itself apart and throwing a lightning bolt on it. What is really needed in this world is respect. Since you respect the sky and give it attention you can read what it says…right now it says that with love everything slows down…life eases and calms down. Just like this, each person you meet will respect you only if you respect him. He can teach you only if you give him time and your undivided attention. You need to love him as if he’s going to go away the very next moment. Only then will you understand the value of this person, only then will you cherish each and every moment spent with him. Happiness is a strange thing… the moment you give it, you’ve got it.”

Melancholy

Melancholy of separation
Is so great
That life has lost it's zest
Happiness has lost it's charm
Eyes have lost it's spell
My heart has lost it's beats
Iam alive but not living
Iam crying but without tears
Iam lonely yet not

Feeling Alive

Friend
You've given me so much
You made me see the beauty of a flower
That of rain-washed leaves
The beauty of the dark clouds...
And the value of people all around
The value of a smile
You made me see he God inside us
The presence of eternity in a small ant...
The beauty inside each of us
The love for life
You made me feel
Happiness,even when the lamps blew out
'Thank You' will be too small a word for all you're taught and shown me
I can never pay you back,because all the world's riches, will be too little for it
All I have is myself
And I'll always be yours
Even after death.

FRIENDSHIP


Friendship is a beautiful feeling.It's a relationship that we choose- that is sowed,nurtured an taken care of purely by us.But sometimes we tend to choose the wrong seeds and nurture them with the same love,care and expectation:expectation to be loved back,to get a companion forever,who'll be on our side throughout the passing weathers' which leave an irremovable mark on our lives by being our past.It's then that the feeling of loneliness surfaces even amongst a crowd,it's then,that the hand which we have been holding throughout,thinking that it will guide us,slaps our soul.When we get up from this nightmare and hope that it was one,we see that the glass has already been broken,the relationship taht we thought was a blessing starts to look like a curse.When we discover that this relationship was a lie,the terror-the other side of life surfaces,where the turbulent river mixes with the unstoppable wind and we are set on a small little boat with our'friend'.we entirely depend on our friend and know that if we had to choose among one of us, we would definately choose ourselves to go into the hungry river. But little do we know this 'friend' is soon going to be the one who's going to push us into the river for no reason-or maybe one.Because she doesn't need to save you-you're a stranger to her.

there's nothing called separation

When somebody goes away
From you
We say
He's no
More in my
Life...
But
In reality
He is
Still there
With you
In
You
When we say
Life...
It means
The past
Present and
Future
And that person
WAS in your
Past
Is
In your
Memories
Maybe not
In your
Present and
Future

life

As soon as I was born
I was given a huge responsibility
How would my tiny shoulders
Carry it off
I asked God
He told he would
Help me
He said he
Helps everyone
But
Some people didn't
Recognise it
They ran away
From it
And they never got
The award
That those
Who carried
It off got...
But I told him
That I would
Try my best
It is a huge
Responsibility
But being a
Child of
God
Iam determined to
Because it is
A gift
Veiled in form of
A responsibility
It is
Life....

boon

Friend,
When I was gripped with fear
Of the world
When i forgot myself
You showed me
Who I was
You showed me
The way
To love
To frienship
All of a sudden
Life felt like heaven
It was because of
You
Thank you
These words
Are small
But are said
With a
Big heart,and
A big smile
Friend
Please guide me
Like this
Throughout

Sunshine


Dear friend,
When darkness extended it's hand to me
And gripped me
In it's fearful body
It was you
Who came as light
Who showed me
A path...
The path of friendship
Who showed me
Life,and
It's various colours
Some were good
And some bad
Worse than black
Again I was drawn
Towards
Darkness
Depression
Death
But then I realised
What I failed to see
Before
The light needed
To live a happy life
Was there with me...
YOU

destruction-first phase of happiness

God,
Where are you...
When the leaves,
Wriggle in pain when
Heavy bolts of rain,
Fall on them...
Declaring death,
For them.
God,
Where are you...
When tiny,dirty,
Hands....
Extend themselves,
To ask for a
Grain of food.
God,
Where are you...
When heavy
Thunderbolts,
Tear the sky
And makes it
Cry.
God,
Where are you...
When honest people ,
Get in return of
Their honesty
Betrayal.
God,
Where are you...
When people dying,
Pray to you
Asking for an extra
Minute of life.
God,
Where ARE you?
Why dont you show people that
You are there.
Why dont you tell them...
That pain and happiness
Are two faces of life.
Why dont you stop them
In stop believing in you?

lost life


Friend
When you came
My life started to breathe
There was happiness and satisfaction all around...
It was beautiful
Just, the mere feeling of you being there
But like a rule made for my life
You left
The days grew darker, life became meaningless
Now all roads are blocked
The story has ended
The purity of our friendship has got impure
With misunderstandings and hatred
Why can't I believe what you say anymore
Why can't I love you the way I always did
Why are there so many reasons for not getting back
Why does happiness have to bring tears with it
Why...
Answers to these questions are not there
My heart's bleeding and crying
But there's no yearning for going back
Because I know,
We'll never be able to trust each other.
