I shall try

I shall try to put on a smile,

And be good without any guile.

To adjust myself, I shall try –

So that ev’n in dreams I don’t fly.

I shall try to turn other cheek,

When hit hard by one for being meek.

I shall try hard to myself bless,

While drowning in a sea no less.

I shall try not a bird to be,

One who can easily break free!

Satisfied in the cage call’d life,

Where millions easily thrive…

A short peek

 

The sun welcomes me with its ray

When I blossom bright red and gay.

Then I venture to take a peek,

A friend among the girls to seek...

They twitter in the class nearby

Like birds opening wings in sky.

My life is confined to a day,

Yet I always blossom and pray,

May I bring joy to everyone

And offer myself till I'm done.

Blossoming

Aspiration

Why so much chaos here?
So much noise?
I can't hear you amidst all the commotion.
Someone tells me do this. While the other forces me to listen to a song I can't recognise.
Everybody here has a different language for instruction.
I am unable to keep up with them. For I don't speak these languages. Even I can't remember my own tongue.
What do I want? Where am I going? And to fulfill what end?
I am not sure anymore...

All of a sudden I realised that this stupid race I am running doesn't lead me anywhere near you.
Can you direct me towards you?
Can you guide me to the right path so that I don't go astray anymore?
Tell me my aim, my true purpose here.
Teach me to unmask myself and become the person that I truly am.

The Retreat

That is my little home painted on the wall -

You may find it shabby and old and faded.

The neighbours have shed their yellow leaves in fall,

Trying so hard to lay a beautiful carpet.

The friendly brook is taking a rest in here.

It had started long from those distant blue hills,

Go it must to that far away land nowhere -

Carrying a message where call of seagull fills.

Go inside my home and you will be surprised!

Its a small space tidied by a caring hand,

The place is alive with my mother's touch prized;

Peace and harmony dwell in our little land.

But you can't find it anywhere on this earth

Because its preserved and cherished in my heart.
