Today I sit quietly at home
Allowing it to be my home again,
although it feels somewhat foreign.

welcomed peace
leave the doubt on your way in,
take off your shoes, relax.
it’s okay here,
ill intentions do not exist.
we’ll eat some nice dessert,
watch some mindless television
and chat about life’s deepest questions.
trust is given
happiness is forever
loving is as natural as breathing.
metaphors of birds
Communing with birds
I open my empty palms
expecting metaphors to light
like fireflies on my life line.
From the back of my eyes
I can see the river Delta,
sweet green tarpaulin stretched
across the hemisphere and those
deep murky waters that reflect
a silver sky.
Fleeting memories disperse like clouds.
Just before sleep I sink deep
into illusory havens,
escape the boredom of life.

by fire
When the sun is sinking low
the living gather at the river bank.
A widow wails her mantra out and into
the watery grave.
The Moon plays upon the wake of the burning boat
while at the bank mourners chant and dance
their faces obscured by the glow of the fire.
As the pyre disappears beyond the horizon
the young inhale herbs and chew kava
to make it easier to forget.

Summer Breeze
For many months we wait to be warmed,
Till leaves have blossomed and bees have swarmed,
The winter, cold and bleak and long,
Finally is submerged under a blanket of song.
As birds rush out and insects thrive,
Us humans grab our cars and drive,
To places full of sand and fun,
Our summer of love has just begun.
And as the evenings draw out wide,
Our barbecues fire up outside,
As parties start and drinks will flow,
And sun tan lotion helps our new tans grow.
We emerge into the summer bright,
Absorb the heat and sweat through each night,
We cherish every moment with ease,
Just waiting for a summer breeze.

Warning! Hot Weather?
Feeling the brilliant heat,
Enjoying the balmy weather,
Stop for a minute and think,
For we are getting ourselves into a tether.
This heatwave is caused by us,
So yes I’ll be making a fuss,
To me the hot weather is sad,
A reflection of all we do that is bad.
Pollution, consumption and travel,
Are putting us under the gavel,
We need to think of a way through,
Where the climate is stable but the skies are still blue.
So I agree that the hotness is fine,
But the damage it does is causing Earth to decline,
We need to get governments to start fixing this mess,
So we prevent the world becoming a desert of loneliness.
Unedited Thoughts
We all have to choose between life and work, words between people or words on paper, white screens or social and other media.
Everything around us may inspire us and bring us further “on route”, so let the words, be it vocally or on paper or in books, always bring life into us and spread life to others.
The following is the unedited thoughts; inspired from the quote below.
Books
Because they don’t leave us,
Yes some of them may break our heart
But they never leave you, no matter what.
Some of them become a part of you
Some keep you in the bench
Like those benches at the railway stations
At the wintry or that rainy nights
The benches which had witnessed
The silent departures,
The happiest reunion
When you complete a book
It imbibe your soul,
It trades your heart
For the secret it had shared with you.
Then with that infected thought
You look for someone to share,
To explode. Peace.
You look at the book
Then at the clock
You make up your mind
To let the words conjure you
You pick the book
Books
Are better than people
And those who argue
Validate the statement
They are better than people.
Okay! Now…

Kindness to Animals

Kindness to Animals
Little children, never give
Pain to things that feel and live:
Let the gentle robin come
For the crumbs you save at home,—
As his meat you throw along
He’ll repay you with a song;
Never hurt the timid hare
Peeping from her green grass lair,
Let her come and sport and play
On the lawn at close of day;
The little lark goes soaring high.
To the bright windows of the sky,
Singing as if ’twere always spring,
And fluttering on an untired wing,—
Oh! let him sing his happy song,
Nor do these gentle creatures wrong.
— Anonymous
Shades of Life
There are many different shades of life presented by the many experiences and influences brought into our surroundings.
We have one great expectation to grow in our life and to make it better all the time, looking forward to perhaps an unreachable dream. Those who believe in the Divine Creator know that life is fare-most the greatest gift and that life is sealed by the Grace of salvation making us able to live by a still greater expectation of a better world to come. With that hope by the Grace of Salvation we can nurture our personal choice to opt the option of living and enjoy every moment we receive from the Creator. For that life we should be thankful for each blessing in our present life and the other life still to come and hoped for.
In our life where may be the shadow of all those experiences and special moments of life? The memories which can build up our life and make our book of life a great story-book to accompany us on paths still unknown.
We may not be any more the one we were when we were a child. All those experience , which we liked and did not like, have moulded us in an other child. The innocence of our childhood is gone. But by the years we become softer and perhaps less experimenting, putting much more in perspective. When older the empty days can be filled with memories.Life may be going on for no reason, but we can give a lot of reason to our life, and that is what we should do.

Soulmate life
Walks with me like my shadow Amalgamated life
Time flies likeblink of eyes, though
Unswayed life
Lives in the hope of living and pray
Aspired life
Lost in the memories of yesterday
Ignorant life
Freely savour the present moment
Pithy life
Cherish the future’s golden element
Relentless life
Resonates the music of laughter
Melodious life
Takes the shower of tears
Morose life
Butstillhowbeautiful, yet

हमसफ़रजिंदगी
साये की तरह साथ चलती ये
रहगुज़र जिंदगी
मेरे हाथों से छूटता वक्त है फिर भी कितनी
बेअसर जिंदगी
जीने के आस में हरवक्त रहती ये
अग्रसर जिंदगी
कभी कल की याद में खोई हुई ये
बेख़बर जिंदगी
कभी आज को खुल के जीती हुई ये
मुख़्तसर जिंदगी
कल के सुनहरे सपने सजातीे रहती

Like a sandcastle,…..
In the World of matter, all may be temporary, but those who want to be children of God shall be carried over sand, water, swamps and into the clouds of a new reality, by the Eternal existing God to a world still to come, a Kingdom to stay and to live in peace for ever.
Like a sandcastle, all is temporary.
Build it, tend to it, enjoy it.
And when the time comes, let it go.
