A Tryst With Life :)

Meditation After years of cogitation, Today is like any other day, Of the spiritual practice, When in the darkest hour, I lie down solemnly, Entering nothingness, Another meaningless hour, To add meaning to the rest of the hours, Floating deep into the trajectory, Entering the guest house of nothingness, Oblivious, Nameless, Formless, Unattached, Willing to be there forever, As always, Before I come out, To add smiles to my world, This guest house is my fuel house, Years into this guest house, Has made me endless, This bodily vessel, Keeps emptying into it again and again, Just to play the flute of life, Years have passed, But I still keep pouring, And it hasn’t overflowed, Will keep visiting this guest house, Till I am alive, Again and again, Forever! Just to stay alive! © Meghna, 2019, All rights reserved.

An Evening of 2008 A cold winter evening of 2008, A heavy bus rumbled down the road. Standing at the edge, Falling down with a thud, With the speeding bus slapping and vanishing. In the next moment of consciousness, Brutal darkness covered me all. Wandering inside the cranial nerves, A magnificent light traversed along. A powerful voice resounded within, “Look around, Rise up, And march ahead”. With pain excruciating, Bruises all over, Blood soaked, And no sign of help, I rose up. Just to see the Humans encircling me, Few gossiping, Others mocking, But none lending a hand. Aiming to walk half a mile, Amidst the tittle-tattle, Started limping in agony. Paying attention to the strong voice within, Asking me to move on, With the only thought to make it home, And console the concerned. Despite the outward calmness, Deep perspiration covered me all, Just couldn’t be still, Each stabbing jolt made me stumble.

O Lord ! Hear My Plea I beseech thee O lord ! To be merciful on me, Bestow thy unalloyed Bhakti on me. Rescue me from all the demons of this world. Keep me protected in your merciful heart. I know nothing of this world but just thee, Neither do I want to know anything but thee. Keep me embraced in your arms forever, Protect me from all the folly and deceit. This selfish heart politely pleas thee, To be biased towards me. I want to be your only child, Forever submerged in the ocean of your affection. These eyes want to see only thee, In everything. My soul gets weary when I remove my gaze from thee, Let me not see anything but thee. Any sound not comprising thy magic, Is just but a noise for me, Let me not feel anything but just thy divinity. Please cuddle me,  Spoil me with your love, This innocent heart just wants to find a way, That leads to thee. © Meghna, 2019, All rights reserved.
