Phoenix

 

Fire bird - Rising from the ashes

 

Love is like the immortal Phoenix

Every ending is but a new matrix ;

Affection burns itself only to be strongly reborn

For eternity this unwavering bond is sworn ;

Passion lives in a raging fire

And nurtures many a desire ;

Care raises us from the ashes

And soothes all unhealing aches ;

Love is like the immortal Phoenix

Every ending is but a new matrix .

^

Life is like the immortal Phoenix

Every failure is but a new matrix ;

Dreams their morning death don’t mourn

They awaken from their sleep more stubborn ;

Enthusiasm is like a solitaire

Makes us to shine and inspire ;

Hope lifts us out of abysmal abysses

And motivates us to great altitudes;

Life is like the immortal Phoenix

Every failure is but a new matrix .

^

My tribute to those in spirit are Phoenicians

In life’s school they are true Valedictorians ;

Their zest for life and inner fire

Burns with great force forever ;

Friends, rise like the Phoenix

And begin a true new matrix !

Eternal Dependency – ‘My Trysts with Nature’ Series

Reflected Light – Sunset & Moonrise

Can you sojourn a little longer Sun ?

Cos’ I do not want my night begun ;

At peace I do not ever sleep

I wait for U’r first ray to peep ;

In your warmth I bask

And my sorrows I mask ;

Broken are the dreams I spun

The dark and cold night I shun ;

Do not so quickly go far away

And leave me in solitude to stay ;

For at this loneliness I shudder

When we are so torn asunder ;

On other side of the world you have duty

And cannot accompany me for eternity ;

But just shine on me a little brighter

PLease stay with me a little longer ;

For I need to absorb your bright light

And reflect on my dark world all night ;

Eternally dependent on you is my soft glow

Do you object if your illumination I borrow?

Is it already time to say our bye ?

Not a problem to accept this, I lie ;

Do come calling back Sun

Waiting here is your Moon .

My Trysts with Nature

Does nature ever whisper a song in you ear?

Do you ever hear nature’s stories?

Do you perceive nature’s emotions?

Do you ever see reflections of people you love in nature?

.

I do.

I love nature.

I am happiest when I am surrounded by nature’s beauty.

I see love and life in nature.

I see reflections of the people I love in nature.

I perceive many an ‘Unexpressed Emotions’ in nature!

.

Nature’s songs bring a smile to my lips!

Every life in nature is a world unto itself…..waiting to be explored.

Every creature in nature expresses many emotions;

love, loss, longing, success, failure, loneliness, joy;

if only we would discern.

.

The gentle river, the caressing breeze, the romantic moon, the assuring sun,

the playful hills, the majestic mountain, the boundless ocean,

the encompassing sky, the simple plants, the wild animals and even

the unseen planets…all enrich this universe in their own way.

Everything in this universe speaks a language which we can understand;

If only we would take the time to stop and listen.

If only we would care enough to understand and appreciate.

.
I wish to share here the untold stories….that nature whispers to me

when I am in my deepest solitude; in my most profound state!

I hope to share the unexpressed emotions of nature - the way I perceive them.

Nature’s beauty, just like love, cannot be captured in all its glory in words…I am only

going to try.

Many have attempted before me, and many will after me.

.

‘My Trysts with Nature’ will be a series on my perceptions about nature;

her songs; his stories; her emotions.

These stories and songs will be my loving tribute to the Nature I love so much;

the nature that nourishes my soul.

.

Wishing nature shares all of her joys and beauty with everyone of us.

Hoping that we all do our bit to preserve this beauty.

Imploring that we make a conscious effort to enjoy her wealth responsibly.

Let’s pledge to replace what we take from nature;

So that our children can interact with nature and listen to these

songs and stories themselves.

.

Love Nature. Preserve Beauty. Spread Greenery.

Nourish Nature, Naturally.

.

A Nature Lover,

Unknown.

Indifference

It is not a victory I yearn

It is not a defeat I’ll mourn;

Deserted me has my hope

No tears left in me to wipe;

Brevity in my life is the norm

Levity only can tackle this harm;

No more have I any wish

I hereby my emotions abolish;

I feel like an abandoned orphan

And don’t care to know fate’s plan;

I am feeling withdrawn from humanity

And far removed from this profanity;

Each one has a ‘role’ to play

But, I am no more in the fray;

Am I being hopelessly diffident?

No, I am just dejectedly indifferent.
