My thirst for the Infinite

Staying in the shadows, I seek the light.
Reaching the light, I still cannot find respite.
For these mysterious waves of knowledge never stay still,
Laying back I find myself, drifting towards the world, that the shadows fill.

So where is that zenith, that I seek day and night?
And why it so often that it lurks out of sight?
For no sooner do I give up the hope of ever reaching it,
Than it rekindles my fading hope by showing me, a teasing glimpse.

Nature's colorful Holi!

My heart skipped a beat when the setting sun sprayed,

on all the surroundings, vibrant colors of every shade.

Silhouetted against its colorful canvas, the landscape posed,

Breathtakingly beautiful were even the nature's merest shadows!

There I transfixedly gazed at its pristine beauty,

All bathed in colors by the touch of one round ruby,

My restless mind rushed after its very last ray,

to discover that land where it went to always hide away!

To Fellow Travellers

Mysterious is the path, the destination is unknown,

Not even those who've travelled it, could tell you where it goes. 

Such is life, unending is its flow.

Misleading might be a few turns but none would for all eternity, condemn its course.

Fools are those who set great store by their fate, 

For unpredictable it is, even to the scholars-great!

When upon a turn, the clear path fades away,

Opportune is the time to try out a new way!

Then what are you waiting for, let's head out,

Hope is bubbling in the hearts, no time like now!

Goodnight and sweet dreams!

As He slowly dimmed the lights,
Little ducklings bade goodnight.
Tomorrow, I said, come 'n meet again
With new dreams and new tales to tell.
And together we shall laugh 'n play
Until the end of yet another day.

Ever rising beauty!

Find the beauty even in the fading light,

The stars shine brighter in a moonless night.

Don't waste your time, measuring the burden of your plight,

Every moment is a gift, fill them with delight!
