WORD STREAM (47) He Is

He Is

*********


It is dark, desperate, rainy night,

The sky unfolds it's blank sheet,

Only one dim, desolate star is seen-

-to twinkle in darkness, to greet.


With sudden, violent bright light,

Whole of the sky is over-filled,

A strayed comet flashes for a moment,

All surrounding is shaken and thrilled.


A sharp intense light over-floods space, 

Sky is washed with deep brightness,

The dim faint star loses his own being,

The destiny of little star, who can guess?


Then shining comet takes dip into horizon,

Blind darkness spreads the wings all around,  

From a small window among dense clouds,

The faint star seem to look at the ground,


Cold breeze whispers into the Nature's ear,

" This eternal cycle is the everlasting quiz,

Comets ,flash of brightness, come and go,

But this dim star? He 'is'; therefore sky is."

WORD STREAM (42) Star

STAR
********


I saw that distant star,
Shining in the dark sky,
My ambition,on wings of imagination,
Started to fly.

The star was my target,
My distant goal in sight,
But the,dreary,deserted,path,
Blocked me in dark night.

I shivered in damp cold,
Heap of firefly was around me,
Light flashed for moments,
Thorny bushes,hardly, could I see.

I fell in a pit,no help, no lift,
I Came out,crawled,laid dull,
Shining star was inviting me-
My strength,desire was null.

Time paused;time passed on,
I rested in dark,unable to see,
Hell was this difficult passage-
Till first ray of light kissed me.

Surroundings flooded with glow,
Nature smiled with feather touch,
Golden path was ahead of me,
Panic vanished,pleasure so much.

Why did I opt, dark night travel ?
That difficult, horrible, risky walk-
When all comfort, luxury was there,
One option was ease,another, shock ?

Under damp sky,rainbow had frozen,
I walked,inhaling fragrance of air,
The broad day-light was guiding me,
But O! my target star was nowhere.
