My Journey
at first dawn of the year, I woke up early...
surrounded by zestful creepers on the quaint fence,
and budding plants around,
gazed at the miraculous sunrise in the vast, all-encompassing sky.
I am in awe!
first a red dot in the horizon...
then it grew bigger and bigger,
until the whole sky is enveloped with a mesmerizing burst of divine sunlight.
a luminous incandescent sky filled my heart....with reverence, with
utter wonderment!
this is the surreal moment of realization -
how fortunate we are to be on this majestic earth,
how blessed we are to be gifted with the magical sunlight,
the caressing air, the murmuring stream;
the tall tree branches, the velvety flower petals,
fluttering butterflies, scurrying squirrels.
here is my recluse, here is my oasis!
here I am with my thoughts.
this life has its meanings only when I appreciate with humbleness -
all the blessings showered.
I am not alone, I see you, I feel you.
at daybreak I gaze at millions of blinking, twinkling,
scintillating stars above ....
they are the witnesses of many poignant moments in life -
a shooting star announced -
the world is with me.
sometimes I feel an aching pain in the middle of night...
as if I am searching for something all my life ...
as if I dive down to the bottom of the ocean to find a pearl ...
I want you to hold my hand, I want you to guide me in my quest.
a child’s innocent smile brings the happiest moment in my day...
the neediest of the needy is waiting for my support.
remember my father's final words to me - writing is my blessing ...
with my pen, I can reach the unreachables,
obstacles can not stop creativity,
no one can curb imagination,
It flows like a river, streaming down the mountaintops,
meandering through the pebbles,
but flowing anyway,
arriving at its final destination.
