Beauty of a Woman

She walks elegantly with poise n' grace

the aura around her is austere n' chaste

her beauty isn't in her cosmetic laden face

or her attire with accessories in place!

Her beauty lies in her soft tender eyes

her thoughts in mind so eloquent n' wise

which when she expresses, soothe every mind

precious souls like her are hard to find!

When you are engulfed in the dark night

n' withdraw fearing being the ravens delight

her mere benevolent presence ushers in light

transforming the dark to the glowing bright!

As she caringly connects every human around

softly, serenely with joy, woven in abound

she is an embodiment of true pristine love

she is truly a blessing, a gift from above!

Woman - You're LIFE..!!

I love to stay the way I am..!!

If I am the traditional conservative woman,

I am the cynosure of all social eyes;

If I live within the dogma's of this world,

I am the most sought after ideal woman;

If I abstain from all form of indulgences,

I am the one who's had the right upbringing;

But, I say ~

To hell with all these mediocre boundaries

that prevent me from being the one "I AM"!!

When I call a spade a spade in my talks

they call me an arrogant ruthless soul

when in truth it is they who cannot

deal with reality and face it as it is!!

When I live my life on my own rules n' terms

they say she abstains from the social norms

when in truth it is they who're hooked onto

the subservient n' refuse to move on in life!!

I am not one to justify myself

to strangers n' close ones akin;

I love to stay the way I am

and, I do not care a damn..!!

As you travel through Life…

As you travel through life ~

you'll realise you're alone

with travelers in your life

who'll keep coming n' going

stop not at any crossroad

for the journey is intriguing

you might pause though, to ponder

when you've to take the hard decisions

where the solutions seem non-existent

but, stay rest assured that a new dawn

always awaits you, to help you move on

with a calm mind choose your path, and

set afoot thru' all the vagaries of life

succumb not to the ups n' downs you face

they are a part of life's journey

withdraw if you choose to, but

only to continue with renewed strength

the mysteries of nature are invigorating

and time is the quintessential master

who'll teach you what you've to learn,

unlearn n' relearn, and guide you

to evoke a deeper conscience within you

to be able to imbue the nuances of life

for that is the only way to surge ahead

to a world of your dreams, your goals

and, when you finally reach your destination

there'll be moments of exhilaration n' bliss

with a sense of accomplishment n' pride

never mind what prices you'd to pay enroute

the journey will always be a worthwhile one

and, you'll have with you a story of your own!!

Midnight Sun

It may be night; it may be dark,

it doesn't make any difference

for there is the midnight sun ~

spreading it's light n' glare

in the sky, in its signature style

a natural phenomena of the universe

in the polar region n' around

that unifies the day n' night

even when the day is gone

illustrating yet another wonder

of this mystical marvellous nature..!!

In the dark confines of our lives

we feel lost n' seek light;

why then do we abhor n' feel unnerved

by not understanding the Spirit's motive

in creating for us, a bright midnight sun

to unveil the hidden secrets of our lives

driving away the darkness for a brief period,

for us to behold this peaceful treasure

that we sought all along but never realize

when it is given unto us in our sojourn

in the land of the Midnight Sun..!!

Words and Silence

Popular belief is that only the spoken Words are heard but if you really want to increase the effectiveness of your voice then Silence is the most powerful tool..!!

As Margaret Weis rightfully says “Words can never fully say what we want them to say, for they fumble, stammer, and break the best porcelain. The best one can hope for is to find along the way someone to share the path, content to walk in silence, for the heart communes best when it does not try to speak.”

More often we expect from the ones who matter to us a lot, to say it in Words what they mean to say just because we want to "hear" them for we believe that these words transform to feelings but in reality it is the profound enigmatic Silence in the company of true love and concern that evokes in us the feelings we so much yearn for. Only after one has used words as a medium and experienced it's limited power is one truly ready to experience and appreciate the unlimited power of silence. It takes a lot of maturity and understanding to realize how intimate a connection we share with Silence deep down in the pure layers of our inner consciousness. It keeps unveiling to us in so many mysterious ways depending upon the circumstances. It is amazing how expressive Silence could be..!!

In our day to day lives, we continuously let heaps of words, seep into us through our five senses and pile up on our brain thereby cluttering it. Some off these we evaluate and react to; others we just eschew. We are designed as such that words touch most of us only superficially and hence the collosal damage in the form of misinterpretaion and misunderstandings which have a cascading effect on our lives. It takes only the intellectual DNA's to interpret words for their true meaning and essence.

Au contraire to popular definitions, Silence is not absence of noise it has a realm of it own with a light that can only been seen with the inner eyes. It is present in everyone - its just that most never bother look within. Once connected with this, it helps us handle the most difficult decisions of our lives with a clarity of circumstances and pros n' cons like never before. If you have a gift of the gab, learn to speak only when you've to else adopt silence. Pause when necessary and when you have nothing to say at all, SAY NOTHING. Such approaches will have oulasting impact. Learn to use Silence - It is a powerful tool in many contexts.

Silence is not a sign of weakness or loneliness

it's a powerful weapon of souls with fortitude

it has its own energy, substance n' style

which it bestows on us, by condescending us

by showing us its pristine inner light..!!

This too shall pass..!!

Today, no matter how heavy her heart is

wavering n' shattering to smithereens within

she tries her best to hold herself together,

even if she has to put on a binding layer!

With her world crashing on her on the outside

forcing her to walk the dangerous thin line

she tries to remain as resilient as she can be

clinging to hope n' preserving her integrity!

In this very turbulent phase of her life

when its exacting to endure her living present

she strives hard to fight back the dark nights

no matter how cold n' bleak the outcome seems!

It's the belief that she keeps reinstating

within her that what she is doing is true

with faith that everything will fade away

gradually n' her life will be alright very soon!

At this very crossroad of her life ~

if she is able to take the decision she has to

in the midst of the realm that she's in

she will embark on the path that she's got to!

She just has to keep moving on n' on, holding

together the whole of her unified as ONE

knowing that the darkness shall pave way to light

and, that "This too shall pass away..!!".

AMEN

Little Joys

Little joys like ~

listening to soothing music

enjoying the whiff of fresh air

watching the dew-drops on leaves

walking on grass or on sand

towards the subtle sunrise or sunset

feeling one within, in blissful solitude

looking at where the horizons meet

gazing at the beauty of the azure sky

or the colors of the meadows

and the smell of earth

during the first showers

it's this midas touch that symbolizes

harmony n' peace in the midst

of the mystical wonders of nature

that give us our ecstatic pleasure..!!

Why trade these rapturous

enchanting thrilling joys

to the dark shadows of

a demanding n' pretentious

world that sucks you within

in its vortex leaving you depraved..??

Get soaked in these joys n' soar high

spreading your wings to unknown heights

setting yourself as free as you can be

enjoying every moment, the beauty of life

and life's little things..!!
