"True Life" 10th May' 2000

(Published in my book 'From the Silence Within' available in Crossword and via Amazon, uRead websites.

Will I mark my time unheard, unwept, unsung?
Will I like all the others before me, simply be washed ashore?
Or will I ride over the currents; and the striking waves.
Plummeting, pummeling against jarring rocks.
Reach out top distant lands and shores.

I can feel the tide sweeping over the sand.
Dragging me, drowning me at times.
Will I manage to get a foothold?
Will I be able to swim my way through?

Fleeting thoughts of rest and heavens beckon me.
But how can I lie down, while so much is yet to be accomplished ?
And those deep blue seas no longer fill me with awe.
For I know I have to dive deep down below.

Swimming, diving, searching the yawning depths.

I am sure one day I’ll find those precious quaint pearls.
And living, swimming managing to keep afloat.
I realize what this means to be of True Life …

Reaching out to Destiny

Reaching out to Destiny - 18th May'2004

I wish I could reach out to Destiny.

And hold it firmly in my palms.

Knowing what is to be and come.

Perhaps Life would give me yet another chance.

If I know now, what I would know in the morrows to come.

Would I yet go on living the way I do today.

Or would I push myself harder.

Riding over those currents and waves.

Would I choose to be different, I wonder.

Or would I strive more or simply jest a little louder.

Or would I flow with the tide.

Taking on everything in my stride.

I wish if I could realise all my dreams.

Maybe I am destined for.

More than what comes my way.

If only I could reach out to my destiny today.

Would I choose to change the world around?

Or make a statement more profound.

Or would I let things be.

And yet move ahead, reaching out to Destiny.

Chanting your holy name - 31st Mar'2017

'Chanting your holy name' - 31st March'2017

Let me drown in the magic of your holy name.
Let me forget everything else today but chant your name.
O Divine! Show me the light!
Let me sing your glory from morn to night.

O Divine! Let me move on with faith in your name.
Let me never fail to chant your name.
For in my pain, you have shown me joy..
So I can live on another day, another time with joy ...

Seize the day!

Seize the day!!

"Before the clock strikes the next chime...
And the minutes roll onto another time ..
Seize onto this day!!
Do, be all that you can today! "
