SEA WAVES


I stepped out of the corniche park on to the sea shore and sat quietly barefooted on the rocks dwelling within and looking at the waves which came and went  nonstop .
I was healing slowly I had forgiven myself and others but I just could not forget . How do I forget ?how can I stop my mind to dwell on what had happened . 

Sitting alone by the seashore  my mind continued to be in a  turmoil  as I saw  the roaring waves break and spread their waters swiftly over the shore. One after another they amassed themselves and fell , the spray tossed itself back with the energy of their fall and drenched me partly .The waves were deep blue  changing colors with the reflection of the sun .They seemed to have diamond-pointed light on their backs which rippled as they moved on The waves fell, withdrew and fell again .

Just like the sea waves  my mind  waves were changing  their color and shape every minute like a  chameleon . The sea waves flowed steadily but my mind waves  often wavered  and  became unsteady . God was giving me a message to steady my mind like the  steady flow of the sea waves ....imploring me to learn from them .

The feeling of the icy cold water on my feet on each rising  wave coming towards me was cooling . I spotted a  small fish which had been lashed on to the shore .It was quivering as if out of breath , I quietly picked it up and gently let it flow into the water . My thoughts  just flowed ..........

SEA WAVES 

Siting  alone by the sea shore 
I wondered  what  the  sea waves  were trying to say?
Their  loud roar suggested ,they  had nothing to hide 
or was it just  an  awkward overplay
to bury their emotions in the noise of the incoming tide ?

I wondered  if  they were shielding their  wounds ?
Trying to drown their  hurt and their painful cries ,
in the din  of the waves traveling on the rebound,
with the sea water jumping with every fall and rise .

I wondered if they were  smiling and hugging,
and lilting to the music created by the speedy water flow ,
happily swaying ,dancing and singing 
as they ran playfully high  and low .

I wondered  where each wave  was going ahead?
Far into the  horizon  disappearing  away ,
chasing each other in the huge sea spread,
following each other in a graceful sway .

I wondered   if the waves which came back to the shore 
Were the same  which had been here before ?
Why were they  always rolling above and below 
as if searching for their lost love in the prancing water flow 

I wondered  at this God  created mystery ?
What is  actually the  sea waves  real history ?
Like the lofty sea waves ,my mind also swayed ,
sometimes it soared high and sometimes it just caved,

I wondered why my mind played such games ? 
Why doesn't it  embrace a calm and  still frame ? 
That's when  I prayed to the Almighty Creator 
God  give me enough  courage and strength
to keep my mind  at a steady positive wavelength.
This illusionary world is full of suffering and pain ,
let  me be a happy soul and forget life's losses and gains .

LOVE IS THE ONLY TRUTH
















Everything keeps changing 
but the truth always remains ,
the truth is only love 
to know that is enough 
for the rest is all illusion 

Love's golden light ignites 
each heart to glow in splendor  
the roses blessed with thorns 
spreading fragrance asunder 
hold  them gently with love 
for when you get pierced  
their love will endure the tears  

let loves gentle hand reach out  
to all who cross your path 
for in them you  become one 
as there is another none 
faces  keep changing 
but the truth of love remains 

be it child or grandmother,
sister or a brother ,
father  or a mother 
friend or a  true lover  
let the  love just flow freely 
like a fountain blessed eternally 

song of love is  sweet and special 
song of love is unconditional 
singing  and rejoicing 
transcending and soul dancing 

everything keeps changing 
but the truth always remains ,
the truth that God is love 
to know that is enough

Love is in the air with beautiful roses to share 
Blessed with umpteen colors vibrant and  pure ,
Each whispering  a unique message for sure ,
A message of kindness and  loving care 

A  bewitching  site beholds our eyes,
Beautiful roses ,looking up to the skies,
A lovely rose garden in perfect bloom .
Spreading enchanting heavenly  perfume.


Some half  open innocent and unsure 
Some full  bloomed  wise and mature 
Resplendent myriad colors a treat for the eyes 
Mingling together irrespective of  varied size 

Red rosé is proclaiming  undying love,
Among all colors it rules high above,
Igniting affection and deep passion on fire ,
Gift it to your sweetheart  you  most desire .

Reminding you ,you are worthy of remembrance ,
Proclaiming reverence ,humility  and a  new beginning.
It's pristine  perfection is worthy of divine giving .

Harmony and warmth  is written on its face,
Shows admiration for beauty and sweetness.
A color of sympathy and  warm gentleness.




Sunny yellow for friendship ,good luck a real classic ,
The  enchanting purple rose has a mystic magic,
The mysterious blue  suggests the impossible.
The rare black for strength and courage is irresistible .

The orange rose  spreads energy ,enthusiasm and pride ,
The turquoise symbolizes constant rejuvenation on your side,
While the gold promises gladness ,delight and care,
All  God given colors are celebrating and inspiring to share .

You wonder which roses  are destined to be yours ,
On this Valentine's and on  life's journey ahead ,
All  pure and pristine and  revered  as Gods pride ,
For they are all happily blessed  with thorns on their sides ,
Teaching us to endure pain and pleasure with bliss ,
Knowing not sorrow , can one enjoy happiness ?

Gifting to loved ones is like gifting them to lords shine,
For loving our fellow men is like  loving the Divine ,
God we pray and offer to you ,your own beautiful creation ,
We ask for only love  and love  as a daily celebration ,
Love to fill our heart and soul  to sing and rejoice  ,
For love  waves when in the air travel  far and wide .
