LONELY WILD FLOWER

Alone stands a flower in the deep woods,

Its fragrance calling out to the world,

Waiting to show off its beauty to the world,

When even after few days of waiting,

It dies off thinking of its wasted life,

But this flower has not realised,

That the world for which it is waiting for,

Is a cruel one which has crushed ,

Millions of those unfortunate ones,

Which blossomed in midst of these insensitive souls,

And were crushed out mercilessly,

Compared to them ,

The life of that lonely flower of the woods,

Was indeed fruitful as it had the chance to die,

Peacefully and with a ray of hope ..........

As I sit near the window ,

My eyes catch the leaf fallen below,

Mind wanders to the happenings ,

Of the past few days ,

And it compares to the events,

That unfolds in front of my eyes.

My mind goes back to that day,

When out of windows of the internet,

You came to my life,

Just as the leaf came through the windows.

A new world unfolded in front of me,

A new awakening took place inside me,

As I found a new confidence and a new self,

I started to fly in the clouds just ,

As the new leaf flying to the breeze,

Not realizing that these emotions and feelings,

Are short lived just as the leaf which falls of annually,

My life is back to the phase from where it took off,

But for the few sweet memories of my dear lost friend,

Which I am sure will be with me to accompany,

Through this long journey of my life.

When the whole world was sleeping,

We awoke to a new beginning,

The beginning was so unreal,

That it failed to become realistic

Maybe we are a group of people

who never realise that,

The Light as it brightens

Exposes all the flaws we have,

That is why we prefer,

The darkness of ignorance & selfpity,

As, it helps us to pacify our sense of unreality,

And,

We hide behind the glory of our past,

And dreaming about the unrealistic future,

Forgetting the realistic Present.

What is the use of watering the plant which has died,

Where will we run when the earth is burning,

What is the use of crying over spilt milk,

To whom shall when turn to when one's own shadow,

Has deserted oneself,

Why is it that humans tend to destroy,

The things which they cannot replace,

When will we realise that any amount of sweetness,

Cannot hide the bitter taste of Neem....

Why ??? Why??? Why???

Do we hurt the heart that loves us the most.

Why do we expect others to be patient and compassionate ,

When we ourselves are selfish and arrogant.

When will we realise Life is too short,

To fight over trivial things,

Even mother Earth may punish us,

When we exceed in our greed.

Manu smrithi says ,"Women need someone to take care of them throughout their life", But I feel it is other way around because Men need to be chaperoned upon through out their life.When born it is the Mother who looks after them then it is the turn of the sisters .This continues even when they reach their adulthood .Even while choosing the wife they look for the qualities of a mother, a sister and a girl friend in her.They expect their wife to take full responsibilites of themself, their house , their parents, their children and the list continues ...... When a woman wants to be free she is labelled as being non cooperative whereas they want to be carefree throuh out their life, and when there is loss of or rather hindrance to their freedom even a little they start grumbling and label the women to be nags where as they are the biggest ones......These Men Never Grow Up...

{I do not say all are alike There are Few Exceptions ...a very Few....}

Deepavali,

The festival of lights is here

To guide us through the darkness of mind

It signifies that in the days of darkness,

A little candle is sufficient to fight the darkness

Tha darkness that shrouds our mind and soul,

The small twinkling lights in front of all houses,

Helps in fighting the darkness of night,

This also signifies that a ray of hope is ,

Sufficient to fight against the sense of loss & helplessness...

So please lead me kindly light towards ,

Eternal light and peace..

Your name has been inscribed in my life

I am not aware

when you came in to my life

suddenly

life has brought you to my life out of blue,

my life has become

a beautiful song after your entry ,

I have forgotten myself ,

my entity seems to be nonexisting

as my whole being is filled with your presence

suddenly

there is a new sense of expectation in my life ,

All this would have been a very good experience

except for the fact

this happened in my dream

and

I am left wondering and waiting for the realisation of my dream
