15. Only Love's in the Air !

Insensitive are we all
to the vivid love in the air

Just be open & innocent,
For every single moment brings surprises
A surprising love that pervades

A hungry crow calls in the distant
All its friends gather & feast

As the evening Sun sinks down
A triumphant dog runs across with a food packet

A cool breeze gently kisses your forehead
After a hectic day's work

A bed of scented flowers for you to walk on!
Made ready by a shedding tree

People unknown pour their hearts out
As a waiter, a watchman, a driver or a vendor

The list goes endless..
For this all-pervading love,
Cannot be boxed in words mere

Every movement around you
Visible or imperceivable by your senses
Arises from a zone of Life, zone of Love alone !
Just watch carefully & feel it

A kind of stillness, a kind of life, a kind of love
Is all there IS....

14. Stillness of Life !

At a medical school, I saw..
A body of a dead man
All around me were blades sharp,
Ready to cut him open bare and study...

Moving with life was he, a day before
Now, still & life-less on the table
Life do we all study;
With his stillness... What an irony !

Life's all about movement
Actions, activities & travel..
are we all fond of, while alive
Movement indeed is thought & emotion

Relate do we all in movement
All levels of relationships..
Be it with one's Self,
Or with another, or with Nature
All based on movements indeed

Does a zone of stillness exist?
While we're alive, not dead :)
Ceasing all movements..
Movements of thought, action & care
Can one relate or emote
From this zone of stillness ?

For this movement of life..
Is the movement of Stillness !
Is that so? .. think for yourselves ! :)

13. Come here for.. ?!

Have come on Earth here..
Not for mundane discussions
About survival mere

Food, shelter & water..
Talked about ALL day..
Made it a big fuss, haven't we?

Birds & animals fuss not,
Nor discuss the mundane
Yet live on, with hearts light :)

I have not come here for..
Involving in talks mundane
But to melt my very Self
Into your endless grandeur

Eyes, ears open to your vivid display
Want to remain fascinated forever...
Forever & ever.. until I lose myself into Thee !

12. Live NOT to Impress..


A plant in the corner,
Lives not to impress any
So do the singing birds,
or the busy ants & spiders

Here comes a man calculating his moves
Actions arising to impress another
Life reduced to a gamble
Ah! he is blinded

The words we speak,
The clothes we display
Our very gait we carry,
All to impress upon another !

Claiming that 'Love' we show
Is all but a drama
To sell an idea thus -
'Hey, look, I'm a good person'

Fall not for flattery
Make no room for flattering too
For, artificial gets our life
& Quick does the Sun set down !!
