Reflect

I pause at times

to see my state

in a new light

when my canvas is

overflowing with the

colors of life

not, all are

the brights, and

the hues

some are shaded

with grays, too

but as the

drops of colors

burst to form shapes

I feel, a feel

that is strange yet true

that they are

a vivid expression

of all that I do, and

the choices that I make

as life passes through!

Happy Holi

Every year as the full moon

in March, cast in all its splendor

glances on the bountiful earth

it sees the evil "Holika" burnt

amongst the pious beliefs

of its true devotees

symbolizing the win

over the devil, and

restoring faith in all of us!

Holi ushers in the festive colors

each having its own meaning

that leave us all enthralled

in an atmosphere of cheer,

love, content n' oneness

as the riot of colors spreads

everywhere with pots full of 'bhang'

that downs all our fears n' worries

n' let's us celebrate in merriment, and

delight, rejoicing the splash of these

vibrant colors that color our drab lives!

May the colors of this special occasion

spread color in the lives of every soul

with happiness, joy, success n' bliss

and, binding us close like never before!

Moments Of Life

many moments in my life
passed through by
some were told,
many remained untold
season after season
one after one they
never remained still
and continued to grow

they are a part of me
these moments of my life
they transcend space and time
and stand unified yet diverse
in their very nature
leaving pearls of wisdom
as their footprints
strung to each other
tracing my journey of life

seasons change but
they continue to flow
I reach out to them
to know more and more
to be able to sift
the surreal from the whole
as these passing moments
embellish and kinder my soul
I am eager to reach to
the other end of the shore

not a day not an hour
not a second is spared
the canvas holds in it
every color of life
like the meadows that
are lively and wild
painted vividly by
the hands of the unseen
a picture that reveals
the story that's -
I, ME & MY LIFE.
