Galaxy
I see a cluster of matters
Far in the imagination
Filled with some pretty colours
Scattered in the universe
hundreds of billions of stars,
enough gas and dust
to make billions more stars,
and at least ten times
as much dark matter
as all the stars and gas
all held together by a force
known and unknown to us Mother Nature
I seldom find myself in times of sadness
neither do I remember the last time when I laughed.
The breezes over my soil are always cool.
It's been the reason why I act like a fool.
Dreams and desires are full of options and residues
What remains, at last, is the silence of virtue.
Mother Nature you are so loving and kind
though human desires have ruined your surround
There was a time when the sky was wary
Your greenery was full of belle and spirit
But look mother what we have done
Our silly experiments have given you a lot of scars
Mother Earth, Mother Nature we want to rebuild
what we have ruined, we want to recreate.
Give us one more chance one more day
We want to correct all that went wrong
We want to correct all that went wrong. Shape of Love
Love is neither found nor desired, it is something, that a pure mind does on its own.
Just like Ganga,
even after losing every sin,
she continues to flow in silence.
Love also flows
in the core of every heart
while enduring the flood of pain. It is useless to control the thought
it is useless to try to remind
when it wants something.
It does not see anything wrong or right
I don't know how to move back
or I don't want to say it
to make it easier
after all, what is love,
what kind of emotions does it address?
Does it have the exact meaning of the word?
Or is there a picture that explains
that yes, it is love that happens
this is the shape of love. The Sea
Lookout at the rough blanket of waves
Curves and curls all around
A dark shadow passing over those waters
A rhythm of harmonic sounds.
The sound of waves
applauding and hugging the shore
the internal sounds of the body out
in the world's biggest swimming pool
exceptionally blue with a slight green undertone.
The surface looks as though
covered with millions of diamonds
crashing with the waves and kissing the sand.
A dreamy sea has a rhythmic pulse
to it unmatched by any other part of nature.
It forges its sounds
and kindles its symphony. The Road to Freedom
Turn the pages and check the lines
The mystery is within these files
we learn, we teach
a road to freedom is all we need
All knowledge and all treasure
they count none to the clock
a deep secret, full of puzzle
no one can define
a road to freedom is all we need.
