Long Wonderstruck Poems

She sprinted through a rugged woods
Away from free loading fathers and filthy no-goods,
Away from tear soaked teddy bears and lungs filled with smoke.
She found herself unmoving, crying in the arms of a weeping willow oak.

She...

From here and there, I hear him speak
His voice, falling in mild whispers
But he always plays hide n’ seek
Never once I could see his countenance

At times he speaks loud n’ clear
Sometimes so harsh and stern

Light falling gently
Through naked limbs
In whispers so tender
It reminds me of Him

Breaking through the indigo skies
Like dewdrops, glistening, listening
Son shines down on soft Autumn times
As pretty leaves cascade from heaven

Fiery scarlet, tangerine and gold
Feathery crisp...

I could not believe it, as I stood on a road, so high,
Ten thousand feet above the sea level and felt to fly;
Thin roads, like jet plane traces, converged, into an uphill -
‘Gravity Defying Hill...

we’ve been told, God is love 
and so it is 
the clear truth undisguised

I’m mesmerized by the ocean.
Whether it’s almost silent and still
or thunderous and in turbulent motion,
I’m in awe and cannot get my fill.

The majesty of so vast a creation
overshadows each sight and sound
around me. During contemplation,...

It's chilling outside, and it's shivery. 
Wary of the downpour, she remains mostly, 

Under the forlorn tree, similar to a statue,
Eyes, the cloud of sunset sparkles too.

 I view murkiness from afar off the shimmer...

I know the land where spiritual trees flower
There in Eden’s garden* of blessed beauty
Midst grand creation displaying God’s power
Wondrously marvelous with goodness-bounty!

Wellness’ scent pervades as love-grace trees flower
Along healthful herbs perfuming paradise
Refreshing soul toward celestial...

Strangled in the thoughts,
stuck in the waves,
lost in memories,
that sank in the sand.

There seemed to be a curve,
But I still kept walking,
Thought whatever happens,
will be at that moment seen.

The caress to my soul, 
didn't look...

WONDERSTRUCK

One day, I was doing some work,
My dad came and gave me a jerk,
Told me to follow silently,
I obeyed him excitedly,
I asked him what it was about,
He said, “Look”, and cleared all my doubt;

A garden...

There you are, my Earth!
I see you here next to our Moon
In this wondrous book- zoomed-in,
You shine above the rest
With cars and people everywhere-
Bridges, trains, skyscrapers, jets
Blue oceans with majestic ships-
Those wonders of our age,

Captive to the rainstorm
Riding the glaring lightening flare
Blistering the silent egg shaped moon
Tearing open the limitless midnight sky
Flashing with the vengeance 
Of fierce exquisite white gold
Splitting the whirlwind atmosphere
With the perfection of stillness
Transpiring with the...

I was only but a child
and to me, she was the littlest of bugs
within my tiny hands
I gave her the fragilest of hugs.

In my life I would experience
a similar range of emotions,
like gleaming at Niagara...

Tell the generations…
Never to silence the atrocities of the past
And to remember yesterday’s sins 
Just like they were tomorrows

Tell the generations…
Keep your dreams alive by
Inspiring each other and including all 
People, for hopeful solutions and...

I’m wonderstruck to know that death
Precedes eternity
That every soul is like a spark
That lights a flame in me

That joy is more than happiness
By how it grows each day
And loving fills an empty soul
By what we...

I see wonder wherever I look,
be it the sea or a babbling brook.
Decoding Mother Nature's Handbook,
Time scribes Her secrets in its scrapbook
cataloging every niche and nook.

I need but gaze at a starry sky

The quality that touches my heart
The most dearly about you, Mom
Is how you feel joy in the simplest of things

How you find all that you see
delightful, interesting, amazing
Sometimes moving you to tears
Never tired of appreciating
Admiring...

Three lady beetles 
put on a little show;
Whilst in the great outdoors
Effected me to whoa.

Spotted one on a leaf,
Handled her with care
Weightless though sheer greatness and
Black-spotted orange wear.

The miniature living charm
Circled round one two
Then up...

Dance down the boulevard
Seraphims of happiness fly
Sweet nectar in the veins
The saxophone plays..
Sharps and flats move..
Move like the beats of my heart
The colours blend in playfully
Neon lights dance to my beats
Leaves flow in a soft...

We're up so high on the mountain top, 
That the night air is cool and so clean. 
Moonlit shadows slow dance in leafless drop
Free from pollution from the city unseen. 

We lay gazing in awe,...

The mystery of the universe unconceivable
The celestial space merging with infinity
As the time flows into eternity
Amazing blueprint made from nothingness.

A speck in the starry galaxy
A spinning planet critically poised
Earth revolves with precision surviving collision
Astounding design...
