Soumya Mukhija Poem
From the dark hole I rose
Off the rocks I was bound
Falling along with the edges
To find hills all around
I got up to the slope
Rising and falling to the ground
Splashing along with the edges
To find trees all around
I was soon on a smooth fall
Down the high mount
Cutting its strong edges
To find the valley huts all around
I finally took for the ocean
My ears of a whooshing sound
Trampling over the stone edges
To find my mother all around.

Soumya Mukhija Poem
Miles and miles I walked
In search of the holy one
Who made you and me
But could be seen by none
With a disappointed heart and fragile attempts
I lost my hope, I gave up my hunts
Consoling my disturbed soul, I looked up at the sky
Watching the snow balls roam and cry
The serenity of the night from the grace of Adam
Comes across Eve and the garden of Eden
I was gawking down at the flowers smiling
The moon's bright white light shining
On the most beautiful, eternal place
I stared at the lady bugs on the green grass blades
It could be seen everywhere, the beauty he has made
Squirrels digging deep and their tails broom the ground
And butterfly wings in a merry-go-round
And then it burst , upon me the truth so pure
To my incomplete spirit, the heavenly cure
For all the legends and myths I blocked
Every temple-church gates I knocked
Beneath every horizon, in the very pages of books
And in every desert and every snow hooks
The secret was there, simple and sweet
Oh! I sigh with regret
Why in my life couldn't I get?
Now in my coffin do I realize
That in me was my Lord, and the earth was my paradise

Soumya Mukhija Poem
I fell from the lane
With a very high pain
Just then came two loving hands
I felt like dance
Supporting me, guiding me
Caring and delighting me
I hopped here, and jumped there
With the loving hands taking care
On my face was a sweet
shining smile
They made it easy to progress to miles
But at last I asked -- who are you?
Making all my dreams come true
Giving me all the happiness paints
The loving hands answered -- We are your parents.
