The new Moon

Treading through the day
Beaten up and Bruised
When suddenly over the high-rise buildings
I saw the moon in the clouds
A delight to the eyes
in this world of concrete and stone

Standing tired with a weary soul on the rooftop
wondering to do or not to do
When the site of the maiden moon
uplifted my defeated soul
Receding back with a hope of white light
I waited for the night after
to welcome the moon

Again the day went by
I leaped back to the roof
searching with eyes eager
to touch the sight of the white glorious crescent
but there was no sign of it
the sky was clear
i waited with my soul wondering
the reasons for delight also pass by...

On the night of new moon
i realized
nothing stays forever
not even the phases
waning or waxing
what comes goes ,
and what goes again comes back...
so why to tire the soul?
or why even to please it?
keep it in a state where
none of the phases
move it anymore!

With a thought renewed
i leaped back into my bed,
to hide inside the blanket,
shedding it all.

    We should not be tiring our own soul neither please anyone's else but we should take care of our soul to be relaxed as well as pleasing. Our surroundings should not be an infinite big circle at least what comes goes but we should not let it go so far that we can be never near anytime in this life. It should not be made so far that the person or moon will never be able to come back ... so everything goes might not come back if we throw them from our life. Life should not be a circle or make it feel as "Shoonya" instead of ... Some friends r like moon and we should not make them feel as Sun which gives burn to us and to them also. We should always treat our near ones as well dear ones as moonlight which is soothing to all of us.

    Seeing beauty in everyone and everything does not mean that we should become far and apart....

    Moreover think of a situation, when moon or sun does not come back after 24 hours in our life....

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
