Courage...


Just like the free-flowing river
I moved with eternal faith
Filled with dejection during days of rejection
But the sublime faith questioned me,
Is a Soul ever Rejected ?
The Supreme never rejects any Soul
It just puts it in the furnace of Life
Creating diamond out of ashes...
My heart glitched for a moment with ego creeping my soul
The pondering mind started questioning...
Am I still callow after all the hardships ?
When will the unrelenting testing come to an end ?
Till when will I be subjected to this furnace of affliction ?
The Divine never fails to still the restless mind
The Voice witihin uttered...
What is a life without any hardships
One values bliss only after a dark night
Only during such dark nights can you feel comforted in the Beatific Embrace
Welcome each such dark night with courage
Transform darkness into light with your Smile
Mustering all the courage for another dark night
I continued flowing downstream like the unremitting river
Embracing all the boulders,
Smoothening each such boulder with the unparalalled courage
Hoping to meet the ocean one day :-)

The Drink

Image
Make me a drink of stars, Steal them all, from the vast expansive skies. The bewitching skies, holding dreams infinite and unknown. Silver, green, crimson, white... pluck them all. Squeeze them into a magical elixir, and pour into that mighty silver chalice, standing tall and sturdy. Blend some adventure mysterious. Let the drink rumble and bumble, with the stories unknown. Sprinkle some stardust glittering, before it can go into me, quenching my ever-longing thirst, and fertilize my life in ways magical mysterious and unknown. © Meghna, 2022, All rights reserved.

My GOD!

Image
  An earnest desire! Today I saw you, in the moring light, I saw you in the flitting birds, I saw you in the misty dew, I saw you in the nimbus clouds, Now I see you in these words, I see YOU where my sight goes, I feel YOU in every heartbeat. Don't ever leave me, All I have is YOU. My, GOD, never go out of my sight, out of my mind, out of my life. Amidst, all the earthly activities, pleasures or sorrows, All I want, is YOU. Never let conceit take over, never allow sorrow infect, never allow happiness to fuddle me, but stand firm only in YOU. You are my happiness, you are my food, you are the living waters, you are my all in all! Please GOD, never ever leave me. All I want is YOU. © Meghna, 2023, All rights reserved.

Dash Of Disapassion in My Life ....

Image
Gaping by the window in wonder Passionate to see the sweet spring Spectacular Green surrounds me Blooming Pink refurbishing my senses Wishing time to come to a stand-still I push off with a thrill Times flies off... Morning Dawns Yawning by the window Dispirited Brown surrounds me Embarking forlorn blistering Summer in my life Dried Rattling leaves suppress my senses Wishing time to pass by soon I push off in despair Time flies off... Standing in anguish Harbinger of good times comes in as An abrupt knock on the door A smiling face with a bunch of flowers Eager to enter the vase Abandoning despondence Gifting me a smile I push off with a ray of light Time flies off... Drained by the burning sun outside I enter joyously Waiting to see the callowness of flowers Sight of withered petals Abjects me... Wondering when this vicious circle of hope and despair will end A divine sound inside me echoes: "Ad
