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."

Wednesday
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."
