Daring To Dream

image:google

Sitting inside a cage I look out

The bars of the cage mock at me

They know it was me who put them there

Fear, Pain, Hatred, Jealousy, and what not

With broken wings I sit 

Content in nursing I refuse to fly

The promise of freedom allures me

Breaking the bars becomes expensive

To let go means surrender

Do I dare to dream??

precious gift

how can i forget the day 

you came knocking my heart

innocent eyes urging me to love 

I took you in my arms

thanking the creator for this precious gift

my child i thank you for giving me that moment

filling my soul with joy forever

A Simple Question

image: google

Hi  friend, a tiny voice whispered in my ears

I saw a tiny sparrow sitting on the window sill

I welcomed her with a what's up?

She started talking about what's happening in her world

Mountains are still smiling in spite of their continuous standing 

Oceans continue to do their dance every second

Flowers adding color to the natures canvas

Birds and animals living in harmony

Every one abiding to the law of nature

All is perfect in the world

She asked me a simple Q..what's up in your world?

I opened and closed my mouth

Shall i say that here cruelty continues in spite of advanced civilization

dance of life is done with crippled thoughts

jealousy, hatred, violence colors our canvas

we are searching for peace and harmony 

We thrive in breaking laws of nature

We pretend that all is perfect in our world too

What shall i say? a simple question which has no answer

seeing but not seeing 

i come to visit 

knowing you are not there

in the warmth of my memory

you reside happily

the dance of souls continue in different plane

standing next to a tree

each old leaf going down with a smile

the new one opening with innocence

you show how life happens

learning and unlearning

like you i shed all my emotions

laughing with joy i live

standing alone in this journey of life

knowing that nothing alters the fact

I live to live the life itself

savoring each moment

My Raaga

As music is a integral part of me I thought instead of writing a poem let me share my music with you all. Here I am singing a Indian semi classical song of goddess saraswathi who according to Indian Mythology is the goddess of music. Here the request is for the goddess to give blessing to the whole world and take everyone in the path of light.

Hope you all enjoy this. This is a unplugged version. As we all know that music has no language..let it touch your heart..

Friends enjoy

I have for the first time tried this sound cloud format...hope there won't be any problem hearing the audio.

hands of love

the hands that protects is killing

innocent lives of thousands

lost for the unknown cause

whole world witnessing 

shedding tears silently

I beg peace to stay 

wishing if I was the hands

i would refuse to hold weapons

i would only hug with love

i would salute the creator

for giving me this precious life

if i were the hands...i would refuse....

Renewal Of Hope

image: google

sky remains the same blue

earth in its muted brown

in between I explore

crying over the lost lives of humans

swimming in the river of tears

hoping the river will join ocean of peace

soothing the wounded heart with love 

assuring once again the innocent smiles will bloom

humanity will rise again

wondering with lillies

silently building each petal

trying to bring symmetry

resembling but not resembling

standing apart yet binding

are they pretending?

water swallowing the pretense

sky reflecting the difference

earth defending the difference

it's just happening
