"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! "

On my heart penned joyfully

“On My heart penned joyfully” 2^nd Nov’2015

O! How joyful can my heart be!

And reach out to my destiny.

To see the sunshine in the rain.

And laugh and sing, even in pain.

O! How joyful can my heart be!

To see the wonder of all that is and can be!

To strike out onto a path unknown…

And yet plant seeds of faith and love grown…

Feeling blessed, simply to be alive!

Moving on from day to day with a song and a jive!

O! How joyful can my heart be!

Moving onto my Destiny!

Come what future may.

Fill up my lamp with oil, is all I pray…

So I can sing and dance and laugh.

And reach out to all…

Sprinkling hope and love with my magical staff.

O! How joyful, grateful can my ever hopeful heart be!

Reaching out once again to my Destiny!

(Author of the Book ‘From the Silence Within’)

What If .....? 11th Sept'2015 (A poem)

What If ...? 11^th Sept’2015

"What if, what if I knew then what I know now...

would life give me another chance?

Another way to be or yet another reason to see?

What if, What if I could live another day by, simply being me...
Would I really be myself or someone you see?

What if, what if all that's passed could somehow be undone...
Would another one life be saved, someone living yet, not past..
There's more to life than merely living ....
from the daily din to all those lost smiles and grins…

And all the glad laughter, the lost time and spaces and innocent chatter...

What if, What if I knew then what I know now...

Would it all really change anything, would it really matter?

Would time stand still as it does now...

Of gone past years and of feelings unspoken…

Of all those times when words somehow failed...

What if, what if I only knew...
What if I knew then, what I know now....
