Like Jesus...(Dedicated to Fr. Jose Vettiyankal)


Thirty years in bondage,
Life was a stormy sea for him
Heart was tossing to and fro
endlessly...

When he was eight years old,
With an innocent wish of Samson's strength,
Thinking hair held the key
Grew locks long like Samson happily
But a day came to shatter his dreams,
When his crown was chopped ruthlessly
Leaving him in agony
Destroying his childhood dream

Time passed by with a wish of holy anointing
On a wishful charismatic day
God's word came to him
As a ballast for his soul
Driving away loneliness
Strengthening his heart
Bringing uncertainty to an end
Being touched by God's mercy
A dove descended on him

Donning humbleness
Spreading his mission with a radiant face
Climbing up the highest mountain
As hardest it seemed,
But with Jesus as his Master
He found his dreams :)

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
