Perfect Love………..

My wonderful friend, Zaza from scribeforlove blog has written enchanting three verses on Perfect Love and I have added few verses into a poem that is penned below:

Perfect Love:

Tears as precious pearls

Ravishes a frightful heart

The soft heart was broken into tiny pieces

Without repair for days together

Then True Love came riding on his bicycle

As swiftly as he could to console his Beloved

With a Bouquet of pink roses

A lovely gift of precious pearls

As white as a milky way

Encased in a lovely necklace

Whispers in loves forlorn ears

Come my darling, my gorgeous love

A gift from the Gods have I brought for you

Awaken with the freshness of a dew drop

Do not despair, do not cry my love

I shall give you all my comfort

Caress you like a gentle flower

Take you in my arms forever

I have tasted loves cup of wine

From your pretty red lips

How can I can ever think of leaving you sweetest

You are a Precious Love of my life…………..

A Fantastic Person called a Mother………….

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Fantastic Mothers in this beautiful World of ours. A small token of thanks to every Mother:

–When she is quiet, millions of things are running in her mind.

–When she is not arguing, she is thinking deeply.

–When she stares at you with her loving eyes, she is wondering why she loves you so much in spite of being taken for granted at every step.

–When she calls you every day, she wants to know how you are doing. She is not irritating you one bit but would like to hear your voice at least for a minute or two.

–When she tells you to do certain chores that are useful to you in the long run, or tell you to study and not play and while your time, do not think she is nagging you and get rude with her. She simply cares for you.

–When she sms’s you every day, she wants you to reply at least once. She feels contented the moment she hears a message from you.

–When she says I love you, she actually means it.  Her face glows with unconditional love.

–When she says I miss you, no one in this world can miss you more than her.

–When she says I will stand by you, she will stand by you like a Rock of Gibraltar, no matter what and takes any storm that comes her way bravely.

Moms are always Special and sweethearts for their children.  Mothers hold their children’s hands for a short while, but their hearts forever.  They are an epitome of Bliss.  She is said to be the 1st wonder of the world.  She is always a Priceless Treasure. Make her smile at all times. 

Let us live a fulfilling life…..

Once there was a king who received a gift of two magnificent falcons.  They were peregrine falcons, the most beautiful birds he had ever seen.  He gave the precious birds to his head falconer to be trained.  Months passed, and one day the head falconer informed the king that though one of the falcons was flying majestically soaring high in the sky, the other bird had not moved from its branch since the day it had arrived.

The king summoned healers and sorcerers from all the land to tend to the falcon, but no one could make the bird fly.  He presented the task to the members of his court, but the next day, the king saw through the palace window that the bird had still not moved from its porch.  Having tried everything else, the king thought to himself, “maybe I need someone more familiar with the countryside to understand the nature of this problem.”

So, he cried out to his courtiers, “Go and get a farmer.”  In the morning the king was thrilled to see the falcon soaring high above the palace gardens.  He said to his court, “Bring me the doer of this miracle.”  The court quickly located the farmer, who came and stood before the King.  The King asked him, “How did you make the falcon fly?” With his head bowed, the farmer said to the king, “It was very easy, your highness.  I simply cut the branch where the bird was sitting”. 

To sum up the story is that we are all made to fly, to realize our incredible potential as human beings. But at times we sit on our branches, clinging to the things that are familiar to us and keep on procrastinating.  The possibilities are endless, but for most of us, they remain undiscovered.  We conform to the familiar, the comfortable and the mundane and are very happy in our comfort zone.  So, for the most part, our lives are mediocre instead of exciting, thrilling and fulfilling. 

Let us learn to destroy the branch of fear, worries and anxieties we cling to and free ourselves to the glory of flight!  Take life easily as it comes.  There is a higher power that is guiding us. Let us try to move along with his Will. He alone knows what is best for us.

A Smiley Face…………

In my half-torn pockets

I hide overflowing waves

Of little chits in different colours

Reds, greens, yellows or blues

Of a smiley face full of joy

As I love to see happy smiles

On beautiful faces

That have forgotten to smile

And pass it on to any stranger

I come across on the street

With a handshake or a hug

Or stick it on someone’s car,

A bus, a gift box or a doorknob

People do frown in the beginning

As they think who is this strange man

Is he a robber or a madcap out to kill us?

But as soon as they open the little chit

And see the smiley face full of joy

They give me a beaming smile

That brightens them up

Laughing at my little silly trick

And in return I feel so happy

Like I am in a carnival, on top of the World

I can finally cheer them up

With my smiley chits of joy…………..

Let our Souls unite in Harmony………….

• In the stillness of our self-isolation nature offers us a kind of redemption in contrast with all our previous noises and uproars every day from morning to dusk in our chaotic lives.  Now at present, a beautiful joy is ringing out to us from birds’ singing their sweet melodies, flowers have started to bloom in all their beauty and mystical marvel. The sun is shining in all its glory and the air we breathe is completely clean.  Simple things are bringing great happiness.

• One can see so many different kinds of animals roaming freely as there are hardly cars seen on the busy roads and there is so much quietness all around.  It is such a beautiful sight to see them walking without restrictions and no one is there to disturb them.

• In national lock-down’s supposed cages, people are sharing their creative talents.  Children are helping too instead of playing games on their computers and imaginative ideas are flowing freely within the four walls.  Mothers are at peace that at last their teenage children are at home and they do not have to worry at all.

• At the prospect of a shortage of food, imaginative cooks are making awesome recipes.  We wonder why we did not appreciate the best of food we regularly ate at home but unnecessary felt like going out to restaurants and eat the same food and paid double the price.

• When at night we are wrought with worry, don’t waste time in feeling low and sorry, pray for strength to our Omniscient One to accept whatever he has chosen for us.  Grateful eyes reveal great beauty in the ordinary.

In these tumultuous times, only love can reach out across barriers.  Only prayers can help incessant worries.  Let our souls unite in harmony helping one another to find peace and give caring support to each other.  Be someone’s Sunshine when their Skies are Grey.

Who does not make mistakes……….

Jacob and his wife went to the Church every Sunday for an early morning mass and every time he had this habit of switching of his phone before he entered the Church.  One Sunday as they were getting late, Jacob forgot to switch off his phone.  As soon as the mass started it was to his bad luck that his phone rang in the Church by accident during prayers. The Pastor scolded him.  The worshippers admonished him after prayers for interrupting. His wife kept on lecturing on his carelessness all the way home. His co-vineyard workers shook their heads in disgust. You could see the shame, embarrassment and humiliation on his poor face. He never stepped foot in the church again.

That evening, Jacob was so disgusted that to pacify himself, he went to a drinking bar. He was still very nervous and trembling at what had transpired. He spilled his drink on the table, bottle falls by accident and it splashed on some people.  Those it touched rushed towards him. He closed his eyes expecting bashing of words or slaps.  Instead they were concerned to know if he did not get a cut from the broken bottle. The waiter apologized and gave him a napkin to clean himself. The janitor mopped the floor. The female manager offered him a complimentary drink. She also gave him a huge hug and a peck while saying, “Don’t you worry man. Who doesn’t make mistakes?”

He has not stopped going to that bar since them.  From this we can surely understand that sometimes our attitude as believers drives our souls to Hell.  We can all make a big difference by how we treat people especially when they make mistakes.  If we cannot be a bridge connecting people, then we must not be a wall to separate them. If we cannot be a light to brighten peoples’ good deeds, then do not be darkness covering their efforts. If we cannot be a pencil to write anyone’s happiness, then try to be a nice eraser to remove their sadness.

We can always be each other’s keepers, let us resolve to heal the world and make it a better place. Inspire Someone Today. Send Love and kindness to each and everyone and Be Humble and Humane.

Learn to Fly……..

Learn to fly

Like a graceful falcon

Soaring with wide open wings

He can never be caught

In the net of imagination

Learn to fly

Like a beautiful Kite

When released from its string

It flies happily to freedom

Up and away in the blue skies

Learn to fly

Together with a flock of birds

Singing a colourful chorus

Flapping their wings to horizon’s mist

Flying higher and higher to loves haven

Learn to fly

Carefree and fearlessly

Leaping with joyous abundance

Echoing from mountain tops

Embracing love and happiness

Learn to fly

Taking the Beloved’s Hand

Feeling loved and protected

Folding the illusionary net forever

Enjoying life’s lovely moments……….

Butter and Blessings……..

–It takes a warm slice of bread to soak in the butter that is put on it. The butter will melt so beautifully. It does not matter how much butter we put, but if the bread is cold the butter will stay on the surface only.  It will not melt even if you want to. Bite into it and you will see how different the two taste.

–It is the same bread and same butter but a world of a difference in the taste. The melted butter tasted just right but the cold butter had no taste at all.  And so, it is dear friends with the Blessings in our life too. It does not matter how abundantly our Lord blesses us, showers us with His unconditional love but if we are not gracious in our acceptance of what he has to give us, how can those blessings ever make a change in our lives.

–Pretty much like the layer of butter on cold bread, blessings not graciously and wholeheartedly embraced continue to remain on the periphery and fail to make any positive change in our life.  We have to root out selfishness from our very life and be selfless and humane in this World.

–We need to “Acknowledge our blessings”: accept them with gratitude and thankfulness. Always learn to “Keep your bread warm. Let the butter soak in, bathed in the richness of this butter, every bite, every morsel then is bound to taste yummy and divine”.

We are all Deeply Interconnected.  Be Humble, for you are made of Earth, Be Noble, for you are Made of Stars.

Kite Flying…….

An important life lesson to be learnt from Kite Flying:

During the season of kite flying that usually takes place in the beginning of the year, a Mother was flying a kite with her son and daughter on the terrace of their bungalow.  Her son who was yet small was watching her carefully.  After sometime son said, “Mom because of the string that you are holding, the kite is not able to go higher and higher.”  Hearing this, the mother smiles and breaks the string.  As soon as she breaks the string, the kite goes higher and higher, then shortly after that it comes and falls on the ground.  The child is very dejected and sad. He feels why did his mother have to do this and goes and sits in a corner.

The mother then goes and sits next to him and calmly explains in her composed voice, “Son, in life we reach a certain level and then we feel that there are quite a number of things that are not letting us grow any further like home, family, culture etc.  We feel we want to be free from those strings which we believe are stopping us from going higher.  But, remember son, ‘That our home, family and culture are the real things that will help us stay stable at the higher heights too. If we try to break away from those strings our condition will be similar to the kite and we’ll fall down soon.

Never turn your back from relationships as they help keep us stable while we are flying too high.  We must come back to reality.  Life is a beautiful journey. Stay connected.  Stay Strong.  Life never seems to be the way we want it, but we live in the best way we can.  There is no perfect life but we can fill it with perfect moments.

Stay safe. All will be good and what has come will soon pass. Let us all pray that our beautiful World blossoms with Love and Joy.
