The Caterpillar...


Sitting on my steady chair
With an unsteady mind...
When a green creepy-crawly creature
Stole away my mind.
The soft green mini-angel,
Going helter skelter through life...
Unaware of the wings soon
To be bestowed for combating life.
Going in a hurry burry
To freely munch on the soft  green leaf...
And get some fuel for the day.
Unaware of the birds of the kill
Waiting to gulp it
And make it their prey.
But it keeps marching ahead
In a drunk kingly gait.
Such is the innocence...
Such is the joy...
Of living with the unknown.
I fix my thought on the beatific wings...
soon to be bestowed.
Classifying  myself to be one of the naive caterpillars,
Striding unsuspiciously in life.
I decide to be like the heroic caterpillar
And wait on the wings to fly :)

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
