Ignis Aurum Probat

here and there, in reality and dreams
lay her life, pristine and threadbare
altering with the seasons of time
as she moved on time after time after time

the eloquence of her simplicity
stood out amidst the guiled masks
masquerading everywhere
undeterred she remained
as she paved through
the complexities, trials and
tribulations that inquisitioned
her fortitude in her quest
she kept combing through the labyrinth
through signs known and unknown
to seek the eternal truth
her endurance absolute

Ignis aurum probat
refined after being tested in fire
her sacred sanctity unscathed
she radiated her inner purified light

Gone too Soon!

your presence in our lives
was like a beacon of light
you were so full of life 

you were gone too soon, my dearest dad
you were gone too soon for us 

the sudden bend in the road
was exacting but it never stuck us
that soon we would be left mourning
the absence of the only man
who meant the world to us
(he still does)

we miss your sunshine smile
we yearn to hear you laugh
we keep searching for you
all the while
to complete what was left
incomplete between us

though it has been decades
since that fateful moment
that stripped you from our lives
we were never prepared for you to go
you were brutally taken away from us

you were gone too soon, my dearest dad
you were gone too soon for us

Emotions

she smiled

when all she wanted

to do was cry

she felt the storm

that was raging on her inside

years of pent-up emotions

that were stifled-in

had become fluid

and were overflowing

this surge, this force

emptied her of all feelings

and, she let it be

for

it was TIME

to discard all pretences

inhibitions, negativity

that weighed her down

and let the white LIGHT

with it's serene halo

seep in, envelop and protect her

in her journey from hereon...

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!

Don't give in...

In this world, you'll find ~
love, hate, bliss, peace, chaos, serenity
don't give in when you find yourself alone
for there's an angel out there watching you
don't give in when you've tried, and
it hasn't worked for you; just be patient
don't give in when you feel emotionless
all your emotions are subdued inside you
don't give in when you're at crossroads
every path has a lot in it's fold to show
don't give in to the stormy nights
instead adjust your sails n' continue
don't give in when you keep stumbling
rise again more determined n' stronger
don't give in to the trying times
rather surge ahead armed with HOPE
don't given in to the dark nights 
for they in actual parlance are tests for us
to see whether we can light the path ahead 
from the inner light of the soul within us..!!

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

Somebody's Me!

Somebody is lonely
Somebody in deep sea
Somebody wants to keep every fear at bay!

Somebody can see
Somebody hears me
Somebody feels me every single day!

That Somebody's Me;
That Somebody's Me!!

Somebody is out there
Somebody in despair
Somebody needs one to care in every way!

Somebody is forthright
Somebody sees light
Sombody frees the soul into a colorful ray!

That Somebody's Me;
That Somebody's Me!!

Grace

Traversing on a new path,
My good Lord!
I do not know -
whether I am right or wrong
With a silent prayer in heart,
I pray to you thy highness...
Grace me with kindness
and show me the LIGHT!!
