Silence beckons me...

Silence beckons me

once again

into her embrace

her warm caressing of my being

her gentle nudges to not think beyond

of what is as of now

no pondering, no lamenting

and no worrying

its all a waste of today

and the minutes of being in the present

Lets leave it to what’s to happen

for soon tomorrow will be here…

and I will know of what to do then.

Like my very best friend she holds me close

while I hear my breath against her chest

and feel the thudding of my heart…

she seeks me out of the mundane chores of the day

and takes me to be in the garden to inhale

the fresh fragrances of the plentiful blossoms that sit upon the stems…

she lends me her ears while I hear

the songs of the birds I adore…

the magpie robins and the tiny sunbirds…

its as though I am been held by the Divine Unknown.

The grass has got greener in the last few days

and the golden gaze of the sun seem less intense now…

in this silence

I can hear the sea too

as her waves come to kiss the shores

Creating that magical ‘shor’

An orchestra is being conducted

I can feel the music reverberating in my heart…

The cicadas, uninvited,

Never give way to the last notes of this symphony…

Silence with her silent steps melts into the dusky evening…

the soothing warm soundlessness bids me adieu

the night is beautiful...

You make me laugh
you make me cry
you make me smile
and you make me ask a million whys…
there is a full moon up there today
in the sky
and the stars hang low…
this is a cosmic show. Delightful as always
and within its intricate patterns lie the answers i seek!!!
the answers to my so many whys!!!
the night is beautiful
and the blooms that exude the scents so alive…
the little unseen beings chirr relentlessly
and the birds of the night flutter their wings noiselessly
monotonic calls of the cat that prowls…
this is not a silent night
cause out there and within my mind there are plentiful sounds

i had heard the murmur of the sea in the evening
as the sun had slowly tinged it with its evening blush
then this question from nowhere had suddenly rushed
asking me the whens hows and whys…
i had stood watching dusk spread her shadows slowly across the skies… and wondered at the beauty of it all
a star had quietly peeped then from behind the veil and winked so cleverly at me
i quickly sighed lest that too got lost to dusk
i value my sighs …and like to see them fly high
they are an expression of my soul's yearnings…

i could not help but smile...

while my heart fluttered with a myriad of emotions
my garden held a festival of butterflies
any which way the eyes saw
there was a riot of quickly fluttering wings that shone
i could not help but smile
and quietly recite a poem i knew as a child!!!!
the sky had been an ever changing canvas
with beautiful a hue of blue
where clouds floated
forming shapes
and creating shadows that moved merrily…
i knew it would rain
cause rain has a scent so unique nowadays…
the smell of wet earth
and fragrance of flowers stolen and brought from afar!
the breeze didn't play tyrant today
it merely helped the flowers to sway upon the stalks
not one blossom did leave its plant!
