SEA SAND
SEA SAND
The sea beach is one of my favorite places to spend hours with myself. .Its something much more then just sitting and gazing at the waves ,the crystal sand ,the golden sun rays and the far away mystic horizon. Have you ever thought why we are so happy at the beach ? The sounds of crashing waves are like repetitive gentle bass beats which dispel stress and bring a blissful state of calm.I love the sea waves for many reasons but today my mind is talking to the beautiful sand which is caressing my bare feet .
I love the silvery sand for its smell and vulnerability to be tossed,trampled, caved ,mounted and moulded by the vagaries of nature and still it stands as a barrier between the sea and the land telling us all is well take it in your stride .Building sand castles on the beach is my passion .It brings out the child in me to feed my imagination and creativity ,it is so much fun and gives joy and happiness .When they are washed away by the high tide i feel sad but the slippery sand still hugs my feet with the same love and warmth and whispers ...go on walking my dear don't feel sad ,foot prints on the sand are not from an eternal soul but from a perishable body so they will be washed away!
It was during one such moment that my mind dwelled on the mystery behind this gritty nitty vulnerable entity which stands out on its own gracefully in this awesome beauty of nature ....
SEA SAND
Soaking in the sunshine walking on the beach
Picking up the sun kissed sand within my reach
I admire its snow white crystal shine
and the beautiful sandy stretched coastline
As the gritty stuff lovingly gets in between my toes
I wonder if it is ready to share its many woes
nature undergoes changes without a shudder
while humans tremble at each changing weather
Once a part of a beautiful boulder proud and strong
Enjoying being washed by sea water singing a song
It was slowly and painfully pulverized by the storm
It's tiny parts tossed by the waves which came along
It endured all in silence knowing this is providence
now it keeps on rolling joyfully with the sea waves in alliance
Caving in and out and being driven from shore to shore
This pain it undergoes without settling any score
Despite this the sand still loves the storms and the waves like before
Surrendering happily to what its creator has in store
Picking it with both hands I kiss the golden sand passionately
For teaching me to surrender and baring my soul happily
To get irritated by every storm that hits us
Is never ever going to make our life kiss us
life is full of struggles challenges and adventure
Do your best without losing your faith and remember
lets confront life smilingly with acceptance and surrender!!!

ONENESS
ONENESS
Silence prevails in the glowing sky's vastness
Beauty around is beyond consciousness
The sea waters dance in silvery emptiness
Cosmic energy unites all in blissful oneness !!!
This is the secret we all must uncover one day
It's our imaginary differences which play
Oh! Aren't we all part of each other in many ways
Can you separate one wave from another ?
Aren't they all one big ocean be it any weather !
Why do you fight with others and spread hate
Realize oh man ! you are fighting self ,not fate
You and others are the same so what's in a name
Humanity is our religion ,forget the world games!!!
Looking in your eyes I search for self and none
Self says "I am " that's what makes us all one
A self which says " I am this " and " I am that "
separates self from the vastness and is an egoistic brat!!!
We are "One In All : All In One " only if we become aware
Fragrance of each flower has the same message to share
It's the message of unconditional love harmony and peace
Silence whispers " love all and let all differences cease "

COUNTING BACKWARDS
COUNTING BACKWARDS
Relaxing in the balcony suddenly I hear slow counting scores
Five ....four .....three ....two .....and then abruptly no more ?
Oh ! It's a mature lady's voice ,certainly not of a small kid on the run
I wonder what happened .....why does she not say number one?
My imagination takes a dive what was she counting loud there ?
Eggs for breakfast or croissants or were they ripe juicy pears ?
Or may be practicing reverse counting for an Olympiad fare ?
What ever it be it certainly intrigued me this seemed quite rare !
Up the rickety stairs I run to poke my nose into her homeland
Cling cling I ring the bell introducing myself with folded hands
She had just uttered ....four ......eying me she counted no more
Instead sternly looked at her kids gesturing them out of the door !
Hey ! It was then that I realized ,this is a countdown to obedience device
a superb nonviolent way of disciplining kids to good sense positive vibes,
Before ONE is said the kid must do what has been expressed
This certainly saves him from being physically hurt and spanked
for violent disciplining surely needs to be absolutely outranked !
On exiting I hear " That aunty's visit saved you dear
now give your sis back that toy I hate to ever spank you my boy"
She starts counting now again five ..four ..three ...two ..and so
lo and behold ! the counting game begins once more !!!
At the count of two ..she sighs! and takes a big big pause
for she does not ever want to hit her kids for any cause
The kids shiver like mad just before the dreaded " one" is said
they willingly scamper to abide to their mums request with pride !!!
Back it was the rod that ruled the roost to discipline kids in
Counting forward beats was then in fashion in frenzied fits
Thanks to this evolved mum's superb mathematical acumen
counting backward seems a more sensible way of disciplining !
Dear friends ,
"Spare the rod and spoil the child " is an age old impression
How much do you believe in this violence favored expression !!!
Please do share why it's the power of love and not the power of rod
which needs to be practiced to discipline the blossoming tiny tots !!!

LIFE IS ALL ABOUT MIND AND HEART
LIFE IS ALL ABOUT MIND AND HEART
Life is neither science nor arts
Life is all about your mind and heart
which flicker or fume to give or obstruct light
their weird ways can make life a comic plight
Wow ! feeling high ! I have touched the sky
mind and heart keep jumping with joy
happiness vibrations seem to overflow
I smile and laugh my heart just glows !
Oh ! the radiant colors are fading away
why are they dusty and murky today...
uncontrollable tears have soiled my eyes
dulling the bright beautiful canvas of life
Changing days and treading the mill
are taking their toll and making life ill
this joy and sorrow seem to have no pattern
an unpredictable delay of passing the baton
Tired am I trudging along for stability
All that i want is a serene life with tranquility
to accept and love life with grace and equanimity
to be conscious of my many responsibilities
Is life truly simple with simple needs ?
Why is it then so complicated and full of greed
All I want is to live love and laugh together
and learn to spread smiles in every weather!
No school of science or art can teach us ways of life
It's life itself which will teach us how to survive
So with a smile on your face and a song on your lips
keep whistling and singing and dodge the dark eclipse .

PURE CONCSIOUSNESS
PURE CONSCIOUSNESS
I dwell in every living being around you here
I am here I am there and I am everywhere
I am in you and i am in all your fellow men too
This awakened soul in me is enjoying the view
I do everything yet do nothing you will agree
I create everything but nothing here belongs to me
With unadulterated sight you will see me all around
Plug your worldly ears and listen to the inner sound !
I am neither your childhood nor your youth
I am not your old age realize this eternal truth
I never die or get burned like body and mind
The awakened soul in me witnesses every grind !
Recognize my spiritual element and my worth
I am part of the creator he put me on this earth
He dwells in me I dwell in him we are from the same domain
I was here earlier many many times and I am here again !
I am colorless and formless you cannot thus perceive
I am concrete and abstract difficult for you to believe
I am truth, I am beauty ,I am love , happiness and bliss
I was here and I will be here I am pure consciousness!!!

Rumi
LET THY LOVE BE OUR LIGHT
LET THY LOVE BE OUR LIGHT
Give me abundant love so I can give love to others
Let the light i see in you be the light i see in others
As I drown in the flood of love in this divine vast sea
Cleansing my body,mind and soul to flow gently free
Smitten madly by your love, to be with you i cry
We are all colored with this infectious love dye
The pain of love which is mine I see it seething in others
The light which awakens me is working to arouse others
Nothing here is mine this body mind and soul is your giving
Every breath and heartbeat you bless me with makes me living
Deeply indebted to you am I for all that i here possess
It's now my time to pay back to you with full interest!!!
To understand the purpose of life is to be drenched in peace and love
To be humanly conscience to rise in morals and deeds high above
To live with gratitude ,acceptance ,awe and appreciation
Is all that I ask of thee Oh! Mighty Creator of this creation !!!

FREE YOUR SOUL
FREE YOUR SOUL
The most awesome way to begin
is to stop gazing out and start gazing in
Stop putting right or wrong labels on things
Your life reflects in your acts and words
and not on what others say or think
Empty your cup daily to be in the present
Give all you can to this now precious moment
Take the garbage out every minute by minute
your powerhouse within will blissfully transmit
Stop your ego escapades of I me and mine
Stop fitting yourself into worldly demanding grimes
Love yourself as you are without making excuses
It's your story not theirs so play your soul music
Make someone happy ,smile and laugh every day
that's what they will remember when you go away
Inhale and receive that which comes your way
Exhale and release to live love laugh and pray
Your feelings and motives spell your true being
Make equanimity your fuel to balance life's strings
You have it all in you to make you feel whole
Enjoy the ride of life as you free your soul !!!
