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 (46) Silence
SILENCE
*************
I stand all alone by the vast sea-shore,
Dawn is knocking at, stars are fading,
Birds asleep, air whisper is quite calm,
To all murmur, hissing, silence is wading.
At long distance, trees are still in sleep,
Cold breeze seem to freeze on the sand,
Waves silently embrace, kiss the sea-shore,
-with passionate love, return hand in hand.
Everything is still, time forget to move,
I enjoy divine scene, no haste ,no rush,
Being diffused, as if, be the part of nature,
Nature, that is painted with Invisible brush.
Wonder, how long, I have been in state of trance,
Heavenly abode has rubbed off passage of time,
O, but a regular 'beep' breaking pin drop silence,
My own heartbeat, rising like rhythmic rhyme.
Beating has inherent incidents, thoughts, emotions,
Intense reels of past memories-no escape, no help,
May everything be imagery paradise, all around me,
But what about thunderous sounds, inside my own 'self' ?
My only choice is, to run away, from core of heart,
-Urge to defend myself from me- I don't know why,
At distance, a man's shadow is visible from here,
I cry, waving hands in the air -"hey there-hello, hi."

WORD STREAM: #Happy New Year

#Happy New Year
# Happy New Year
**********************************
Next page of chronicle-book opened,
Golden letters flashed ,sharp and clear,
It was written in bold, shining letters,
-Heartily welcome, Happy New Year."
"How can I be happy ?"the new page told,
"Writing on me is same, script is the same,
Ink is the same, old, rustic pen is the same,
The carving hand is same, Whom to blame?"
Time-wheel whispered in a very low tone-
"Hope and ambition is also same, my dear,
Man is always stretching arms for rising sun,
Emerge from darkness, despair- happy new year."

#LOVE
| |||
***********
The first sun- ray,
Peeps out from sky,
Kisses the sea-wave,
Hesitant and shy.
Short script it writes-
LOVE-is the only word,
Millions time told,
Always heard.
Passage of dusk,
Fades it away,
Is it futile repeat-
-since infinite days?
Meaning of love,
Message of sun rays,
Is the eternal journey,
'WRITING' on water, says.

WORD STREAM: #LIFE
#LIFE
#LIFE
___________________
Life, like a little snowball,
Rolls down from mountain peak,
Gathers huge mass,
Pretends to be might-
-to be hero.
In bottom dark valley,
It melts,
turns into absolute zero.
_________________________
Infinite mass of moments,
Suspend from pendulum,
I try to capture them,
In vain.
Like a clown-
They dance, deceive,escape,
And fall down.

#THE 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.
