“Reality or Delusion?”

“Reality or Delusion?”


Why do the stars shine bright in the night?

Why does the moon not have its own light; 

Why do the flowers blossom to its best?

Why does the sun always set in the west; 

What made the mimosa shrink & curl,

What made a shell embrace a beautiful pearl;

Who made the birds chirp; melodious to hear,

Who taught them to build a nest; precise & clear;

Why did we laugh today?

Why did we frown that day?

Why did we anxiously think today?

& why did we just let go the other day;

From where did the souls come & where would it depart,

When would it all end & how did it all start;

What signifies our birth & what shall happen after death,

Who can predict this amazing journey's breadth;

 

Is there a power beyond this world?

Is it the nature or the destiny?

Is it a plan or an intuition?

Is it a reality or a mere delusion !!

“Life ~ A merry go round”

  “Life ~ A merry go round”   We ride with people like or unlike us around, Sometimes loaded with a bunch of people while sometimes only a few of them surround;   A ride with continuous up & down, Excitement clicks while reaching the sky while anxiety ticks when touching the ground; In the ride we meet new people crossing our round passing by, Some near, some far away, some return again while some just go away;   We neither chose who stays nor the one who leaves & when, We neither chose the start of the ride now nor the stop then;   However, the end of the ride, Unfolds different experiences one can't hide;   With some at top, some at bottom while some just out of sight, Nothing to do, say, listen, or judge after the flight;   For all one knows that at the end we all are together,  But only a flashback of memories & footsteps to last forever & ever!!   -     ...

“Little Did We Know”

  “Little Did We Know” Wondering about people's choices; their likes & dislikes, Little did we know that it was also what we like mattered; Wondering about how people would feel; pleasant, vulnerable, angry or envy, Little did we know that it was also what we feel mattered;   Wondering about how to please or to be pleased by others, Little did we know that it was all about how to love oneself that mattered;   Wondering about other's judgement for you in their opinion, Little did we know that it was our own eyes in the mirror that mattered;   Wondering about their words; harsh truth or a pleasing lie, Little did we know that it was all about the voice of our own conscious that mattered; Amidst the crowd of people; dense passing by, Little did we know that a soul pure resides nearby;   It is all what matters !! It is all what matters !! -         Not so Poetic Shivangi Sethi
