Drop your burden...

The beautiful firmament threw a visual feast,

Calming my restless mind that wandered like a beast!

The mighty blue sky lay laced with clouds, vast and high,

Dressed in perfect hues, complete with her seven coloured tie!

She was done with her crying from past burdens,

She let the sun shine, dispelling the drops through his lens!

Wiping away her heavy tears into a spectrum, smiling wide.

Blessed were those eyes that were privy to her roller-coaster ride!  

Blessed were the eyes that were privy to her roller-coaster ride!

Such is life, full of tides, rising high, only to ebb away.

Hold on to your spirits high, as a new sun rises each day!

Cry if you must, for the mighty sky cries to shed her burden,

But allow the sun to shine, to warm your soul and light your garden!

Actions bring you closer to your goals, so despair not,

For success is defined by the brave, whose battles are fought!

Wait a while, work harder, you are always on the brink of victory!

For those who stay, the perils of life are nothing but lessons in history!

For now...

Enjoy the current moment like there was no moment before and none after,
There will be more life to your joy and to your laughter!
Just do what you have to do today, before planning for an uncertain future,
This will heal all your past wounds like a golden suture!

Deep within each soul is connected to its maker and to no one else,
Our bodies are rented for a short time as empty shells!
The shells do not define us as much as our thoughts and deeds do,
May our thoughts transform into deeds that help a needy few!

We fail to understand the pains of another person until we experience it ,
Empathy makes us humane and emotionally fit!
Fill your life's card with kindness, 'ere you fill your report cards with aces,
Pause for others to catch up, slow your paces!

Take time to read a poem and watch the sky, give a loving smile and relax,
Let not as whole day be consumed by an e-mail or a fax!
Make way for the gentle feelings and tender moments, for we live but once,
Live for a worthy cause, when you die you take not a pence!

Just live the moment, so you may relive the moment with a smile!

 

The burden of a new dawn!

The dried leaf hanging from the twig,

Woke up to another new dawn.

The burden of hanging in there big,

When every last hope was gone!

It seemed like a never ending pause,

To a life, awaiting the final call.

He prayed for a strong wind to toss

The tree, so he may finally fall!

Each day began with a prayer, a hope,

Reminding the maker of his turn.

But wait he must, and patiently cope,

Till He marks a place for his return!

The time has to be right for every event,

Even for death to descend on earth!

So the brown leaf waited, his head bent,

Bowing before death, for his re-birth!
