Seeing Beyond

 #Seeingbeyond ...

If you could cast your sight 

on the far side 

of the thin running stream

dancing along 

you'd be able to see beyond 

If you could see 

how far the mountains spread

never ending length and breadth 

you'd  be able to know the limitless 

If  you  could part 

the curtains of your mind 

you'd be able to see

through the window a light 

of wisdom that shines beyond 

If you could  pay attention

to the unseen 

you'd hear the silent sound 

whispering hope lies beyond 

If  you could  understand 

the purpose of life 

you'd  love unconditionally 

knowing happiness lies beyond 

If you could feel the pain 

of your fellow men 

you'd be kind to them till the end 

would know bliss is beyond self 

If you could lovingly touch 

hearts from far with your affectionate words and deeds 

You would know joy

is not  beyond reach 

If you could lift 

the eyelid of ignorance 

from kohl smudged eyes 

you'd  see the truth beyond 

If you could sing 

only gratitude while you pray 

without asking for fulfilling wants 

You'd be truly blessed beyond !

Life is short , listen to your heart

Life is short 

listen to your heart 

do what makes u happy

before you depart 

Life is  care and share

like oxygen in the air

Live each single day 

laugh love and play 

Life is to love n cherish

U never know when u will perish 

follow your hearts passion

seize every small occasion ..

Life itself is a blessing 

Worth loving and caressing...

Happy Hug Day

 

#HappyHugDay Friends 

JADOO KEE JHAPI 

A hug is loving 

and endearing 

A hug is enlivening 

and consoling 

A hug reassures 

faith in humanity 

A hug warms 

your inner vulnerability 

A hug speaks 

unspoken words 

A hug energizes 

you to fly like a bird .

A hug in sadness 

halves your sorrow 

A hug in happiness

doubles your joy 

A hug to console strengthens minds 

A hug in hurt  

heals painful grinds 

A hug to welcome 

bonds hearts 

A good morning hug 

wow a great head start 

A hug boomerangs 

right back to you 

A hug changes 

your metabolism too !

#Happy_Chocolate_Day 

Chocolate is my happiness 

when life brings joy or stress 

It’s sweet notes of symphony 

Just melt in the mouth deliciously 

Bitter sweet melody lingers on 

Long after the performance ends 

Each note is a tasty testament 

Of its luscious melting temperament 

Oh! Dear chocolate,in  solitude 

You cheer me up,raise my mood 

Sharing with friends on any occasion 

Be it for comfort,solace or celebration !

Pray everyday is a chocolate day 

Let the bitter sweet taste always stay 

In each bite of the sweet dark fantasy 

I sing and dance in  sheer ecstasy !!!

Lose_yourself_to_find_yourself

 #Lose_yourself_to_find_yourself 

Lose yourself to find yourself 

Is what the saints have said 

Oh ! dear , oh dear , I need help 

this just does not fit into my head !

And then,it dawned on stupid me 

what do I really want  to be ? 

Why do at times i feel stuck or lost 

Wonder what road I must walk ?

What’s holding me back to find myself 

To walk the path of divine manifest 

Why don’t I let go ,beliefs of this limited mind ?

Why am I stuck up to my thought grind ? 

I grew up wanting to become a boss 

In that rat race my real identity was lost 

Selflessness and humility went for a toss 

It was then all about myself and my class .

Worries and stress became a part of life 

To stay ‘one up ‘ was my mantra to survive 

Happiness was waxing and waning each day 

Peace and solace ran miles and miles away 

I learnt the hard way ,to change myself 

I let go EGO building a false image of self 

I don’t have to be a “SOMEBODY”to succeed 

Just to be my true self, is all that i need 

Being a “NOBODY “brought liberation and peace 

I  was now only my true soul nature of bliss 

True nature of awareness from which virtues sprout 

My peace was not disturbed by the worldly shouts .

Birth of a poem

 #Birth_of_a_poem 😀😀😀

I talk less, and write more 😀

But oh no ! I am never a bore 

I think less ,I go more extempore 

My words come from my hearts core 

Invisible scenes in my clear mind 

Become alive without a grind 

Words just flow like a waterfall 

At times they keep rolling like a ball 

Random thoughts pour unhindered 

Clueless they get entwined in a bundle 

To form sentences with life’s meanings 

Alive and so true to my day dreaming 

When my mind goes awry ,my heart speaks 

It quietens my mumbly minds loud squeaks 

The words which pour after this high tide 

Are full of wisdom as I pen them in stride 

So if you are feeling lost and grumpy 

Don’t become restless like a monkey 

Just pick up your pen and listen to your heart 

A crazy funny poem will get a head start !

Twilight

#Twilight 

You think you've seen the sunshine 

Just continue to silently walk with me 

it's the  mesmerizing mysterious twilight 

which tastes like heady old vintage wine ..

basking in twilight’s  glory I rest for a while 

reminiscing my many wandered squandered miles 

when all I needed was unbroken sunshine 

twilight never ever was my  logistic lifeline 

Desires were so big I kept running after time 

never ever chose to miss the golden sunshine

I kept chasing away the scattered raindrops  

and basking under the sunbeam on the roof top 

Time clocked on ,black clouds covered the sun 

wrapped in  the canopy of  tattered shrouds 

I kept gasping and fighting for my vital breath

as if it was mpending death in life and life in death 

It’s then that the  beauty of twilight  dawned within 

In the turning of twilight came the shadows of moonlight 

soothing my soul in the waves of tranquility coming through 

life became meaningful as I embraced the  darkness anew 

Yes that’s so very true....

life gets new meanings as it continues 

You think you've seen the splendid sunshine 

Just continue to  silently walk with me 

it's the  mesmerizing mysterious twilight 

which tastes like heady old vintage wine
