Everything's alright....

Water is flowing silently, I guess I’ve come too far
In the search of my own self, I’ve found that lost star
My mind is wrapped in strange tranquillity today
The obscurity of my mind is slowly fading away
I closed my eyes to feel this very essence
The cognition in my heart as I’m meeting myself
My heart is asking me where you were all these days
Why you doubted, why you kept your mind in haze
Trust your heart; trust the people who love you
Sweet soul, stop questioning because the world never knew
Who you were, who you are & what you really believe in
Be fearless of setbacks as the earth never forgets to spin
You will surely achieve what you always dreamed of
I know, it’s taking long but you will be thereof
The sun is waiting to shine with full brilliance
You will see yourself in the light with clearance
Let your mind be free from all the confusions
Erasing the despair allow it to bloom in profusion
As I opened my eyes, a tear rolled down
Now, I will never ever let myself drown
I will always try my best how hard the situation gets
Never will lose hope, never ever allow the chance to regret
Because those who love me, they are with me
And I know something divine kept supporting me
I’m not the one who will ever lose hope in this game of life
Your love gives me strength to fight and reaching the light

Footprints of the weary....

Lamp is flickering at distant while the flute echoes
Weary traveler, your destination seems quite close
Don’t be despondent as the time will pass anyway
This barren land will eventually be a garden one day
Freezing wind will be warm singing songs in your praise
Lost traveler, river will guide you to the path of grace

You may be all alone but the seraphic light surrounds you
Stop seeking elsewhere as divinity resides in the heart, in you
Why you weep in silence, why so distraught and confused?
Why enduring the extrinsic pain, for once ponder in solitude
For an instance, take a look back how far you’ve come
Live some moments freely, and the let the fear overcome

See how beautiful this life is, how fortunate you are
To witness the beauty and the glory of glistening stars
Leave behind the footprints of your wonderful journey
Let them narrate your story, let them inspire the weary
Petals treasured in old books will spread the fragrance
Come out of the shadows, with lit heart’s diligence

Lets be free...

The sky is so colorful now
Are you with me to chase the dreams?
The colors have taken a vow
Dispersing through as they gleam

Would you like to run in the fields?
Under the clear sky with open arms
Behind the butterflies among the daffodils
Where love blooms as freshness embalmed

Wondering about the twilight view
From that mountain so far
Why don’t you tie your shoes?
We will be there before sundown

Laughing, chattering with the wind
The earth is singing too, in rhythm
Rejoicing the heart, peace it brings
Would you just like to listen?

Be here before it becomes too late
Life is beautiful, there’s so much to see
I see no boundaries, just open the gate
Because love always sets us free

A whirlwind of thoughts.....

It was still dark outside
But I couldn’t sleep anymore
So, I came out to cease the
Whirlwind of my thoughts

Breeze was chilling and
Fog covered the street lamp
Barefoot I was walking
Soil was cold and damp

Silence was all around
My heart let out a sigh
To see things more clearly
I just closed my eyes

Sitting there for a while
My mind eased the knots
Sometime I just need time
To unwind the thoughts

Looking at the morning star
I greeted the hastening dawn
Sky was turning pinkish while
Birds were chirping in lawn

It’s the time to begin new day
I looked at the beautiful light
My heart started singing while
Buds were blooming in delight

.....the eternal being

Rain still falls with the same music
Myriads of flower bloom in profusion
Something has really changed
This strangeness is blurring the vision

Thousands of word echo in my head
I try to sort them out everyday
But somewhere deep inside
I think, I know, when I lost the way

But can I ask for forgiveness
Those who believed in me
It’s been really a rough walk
A journey through the steep hill

One day, I’ll find my destiny
But your love is what that matters
I know it’s impossible to repay
But your dreams will never shatter

Gazing at the full moon sight
My heart promised something
It’s just a phase of life
But love is only the eternal being
