Ambiguous Life

What do I express of life, this life

save, it's nothing but an ambiguous life!!

a moment of chaos, a moment of calm,

a moment of roar, a moment of whisper,

a moment of light, a moment of darkness,

a moment of sense, a moment of conflict,

a moment of love, a moment of hate,

a moment of clamor, a moment of silence,

a moment of pleasure, a mment of pain,

a moment of pretence, a moment of reality,

a moment of grotesque, a moment of beauty,

a moment of depression, a moment of hope,

and, so many more contrariness

all stemming from the life ~

birth in this mysterious universe,

where time flows forever like the river

undeterred in its journey n' forever sparkling

bringing in a new facet with it every new day

that changes a part of us; for good or bad

but who's the master to judge, no one knows..??

life moves on and the cycle continues on n' on

till one fine day when death takes you away

to yet another unfamiliar unknown territory

where you rest in peace from this damnation

setting your spirited soul free for eternity

nothing would change after you're dead n' gone

there would be a momentary pause by the loved ones

till they find their grounds n' surge ahead, and

the universe continues its vicious rigmarole

birthing new souls n' taking them through it all

just like how it did with you while you lasted here

such are the vagaries of life, our ambiguous life..!!

Forever Oneness with Nature

When the concrete jungle, rife with rules of its own,

makes me feel claustrophobic, fraying my nerves within,

where I fight for sustenance amongst the seas of people,

to earn my daily bread for my family n' seek a living;

I take the vagabond escape route to being amidst Nature...

to lose myself in its scenic beauty n' FREE the real ME,

even, if it is momentary, to touch, feel, live n' sensitize,

to infuse within me all that Nature has to offer from its womb;

be it the meadows that paint the vibrant colors from its canvas,

in my otherwise stark life colored only in black n' white;

or the wilderness that sing songs in rhythms of their own,

a melody, so pleasing that sets you grooving to its every beat;

the sunrise that breaks away from twilight to give me hope,

when I feel lost as I surmise the conflicts I face in my life;

the landscapes, seascapes n' mountainous intricate designs,

that leave me spell bound with its native forms n' splendours;

the rivers that flow endlessly remaining new all the while,

teaching me to remain unaffected by the disruptions in life;

the solace in the secluded spot over a rock with subtle winds,

that drives away all my agitation n' plunges me in reverie;

the sunset by the sea that usher-in respite, calming me down,

healing me from within n' resurging me with strength n' wisdom;

to collect myself n' my thoughts to get back the handle of my life,

treasuring every memory to continue my journey when I return back

to the man-made soulless surreal world that bewilders me each time

with the the circle of being enthralled in the charisma of Nature

coming to an undesirable end with the end of the brief sojourn

that brings me a step closer to Nature each time, I seek solace

in its resplendent world emblazoned with inexplicable bliss n' peace

a sacred communion with the eternal power that cannot be expressed

but only be felt from deep within the soul as Nature's powerful mysticism

creating firmly a sense of oneness between ME n' Mother Nature forever…
