Asleep in windy bliss
Hot winds killing agony from heat
Prayers seek clouds’ kiss
Yearn for rains to beat the heat
Awake, unaware of a distant storm
As it closes, mind aspires to meet
Thunder and rain brought in by storm
Heat recedes to cool winds we greet
Rising expectations of rain
Met with sand, agony delivered
Sands of misery and of pain
Angst compounded, hope quivered
What sought wasn’t received
Futility, thou art godly ways
God seem unjust, not as perceived
But He has his unknown ways
Winds drive sand everywhere
Seems like wrath of God
Aiding the ultimate takeover
Earth feels hot, dried is sod
Then, face feels the cool water drops
Rain, it finally falls
Thick with sand, heavy like slop
Sand subsides, as the heat falls
Sand settles, all its fury gone
Song of winds – soothing and cool
Aroma of wet earth, mark of a boon
Mind floods with memories to drool
Abrupt thoughts of reality
Of storms that bring the muck
Also bring life, it’s vitality
Water for parched land to suck
Agony to blessings, prayers pay
God may frown but surely will smile
There is a method in his way
While man thinks it’s his beguile

Alone like a tree Standing but not free Holding captive the Earth nourishes Yet the tree grows and flourishes Many thoughts, some desires Alone in everything one aspires Striving always to grow and flourish One's dreams others cannot relish Destiny decides as it must Endeavours do not allow to rust Like Phoenix, from ashes rise Unabated ideas continue to arise Will and destiny continue to fight End will decide victor, who's right Till then struggle must sustain What prevails, what contain Strength within cannot be without Fighting everything not within but out Some may join some may not Ours is to do, not ask why not Alone to prevail Alone to avail
The breeze on a summer evening
The feel of grass on the bare feet
The stars twinkling in the night sky
White puffs of cloud floating in the open sky
The smell of coffee brewing on the stove
The dance of the cranes in the paddy fields
The wind singing in the bamboo groove
The sounds of the children playing
The vastness of the deserts
The wonder of the supermoon
The winding country road to the village
The hunting lodge deep in the woods
The hug of a dear one after a long time
The shafts of sunlight pouring on the windowsill
The song of the distant cuckoo
The eagles gliding lazily in the azure sky
The chant of Lamas in the monastery
The song playing in the head
The quick dance steps in the bathroom
The warmth of the glass of tea in winters
The grin at the end of an enduring ride
The laughter around the campfire
The joy of togetherness of an old couple
The gratitude on the dining table
The pleasure of walking in new shoes
The freshness of the falling snow
The pitter-patter of rain on a tin roof
The sweat from a match well played
The pride in a sacrifice made for the cause
The joy of a kid coming home from school
The happiness in freeing the trapped honeybee
The aimless chase behind the elusive butterfly
The randomness and unpredictability
Well, that’s Life!
