The Way

To please
And be pleased
OR
To face
And to have a face?
IF
To please is cowardice
To face is bravery
IF
To please is bravery
To face is cowardice
BUT
When the 'IF's are no more
To face is the WAY.

If pruning is the way to growth, if pain is gain, why count the lost joys.....just face it and have a face!!

Ripples

A raindrop into -
The  calm stream fell;
Generated wings all around
Seeking and yearning
To touch the shores of
The unknown, the eternal...
Each wing set on flight
Unto a direction different,

From the centre known

Aiming the centre unknown...
Many a wings born and faded
But for which DEAD
Would have been
The stream.

The search

The life
A short stay
A long search
For a list of things
Longer than itself
I too search
Like you
But without
Lists of any kind
For nothing but life!

The rays

The door opened;
Streams of rays
Dashed out incessantly;
Penetrating through-
And through, a ray
Reached her,
Rejuvenating-
The very old sheen.

The commencement
Of transfigurations…

The ray radiant
Fell into her eyes,
Forming a single twinkle;
That became,
The corner star
Of the then created
Milky Way,
Stunningly luminous.

Keep ajar the heart
To emit the rays of joy!
