Rhyme Time

I climbed up the mountain
To see the fountain
In the garden
Somebody said pardon
There was a little boy
Playing with the toy
Who was very coy!

World Of My Own

A world full of love and beauty
Is the only world I have known!
Suddenly, I realize
To become more wise
There are many more worlds to be explored
Though, science and math are not my kind
In all I believe
Is the life divine.
What is that…?
Divine wants us to do…?
To love and praise each other
Smile and be happy
For it paves a simple path to bliss
But we humans like snakes hiss
Out the venomous notions of materialistic pleasures
For that’s human’s treasure
Truly not! A false hope! A real hell!
Where pain and fear conquers them
Until their last breath
So the world of my own
Is nothing but love and beauty.
Which brings happiness to one and all!

Bubbles

Blow bubbles
On a nice sunny day
See all the wonderful things
You can say!
Bubbles just slide and glide in the air
Gleaming and glittering in sunlight
Carrying the cool different rainbow colors
Glossy green, classy blue,
Purple, pink and yellow too.
Fantastic, are they, you would want to stare
Until they pop
You can’t stop
To blow bubbles
So, blow bubbles
And enjoy its hues!

Bits and Pieces

Tears
Diamond drops
Trickling down his cheeks
Whiny music flows
Filling the soundless air around
When needful things given
Gone are the tears and sound!


Treasures

Precious stones, gold, silver, jewelry, and money
Are these treasures…? No!
Love, kindness, compassion are the true treasures!
Also, worn out toys, long loved books, small shiny
specks of glass or metal, colored wood chips too are
treasures to the little tiny hands.

Life
Life without problems is easy
Life with problems is spicy!

Experience
Every single experience is a page in the book of life
There are volumes and volumes to write about a wife!





Crying
Any amount of crying wont help you
But you have to
Find the ways and means of what to do
And that will only help you,
To stop crying
And solve the problem!


Self-realization
The power of self- realization is far more powerful, than the use of any charms or magical powers!

Change
Change for the best
The world will change itself next!


Bliss
The quiet, calm, happy, and peaceful state of mind is bliss. When one truly experiences this, that person strives not for any other thing in life.

Monotony
It’s the same everyday
Fatigued minds feel that way!


Problems
Destructive ways like smoking and drinking are not the right way to solve any problem.
Constructive methods like painting, writing, playing instruments, singing, or even listening to music, creates a better approach to a problem which helps anyone to solve the problems!


Death
Fear not death
For, it’s not an end to anything
But, only a beginning to something!


Anger
When you are angry, or when you worry
Just write it on a paper and you will feel relieved
Give it a couple of days, the pain seem to vanish
Then tare it and trash it. Try it, you’ll see
How smoothly you can handle things!

Apples

The apples, apples, apples
They travel from the trees
Fly by planes
Buzz in trucks
Land on the shelves
Of the Grocery Stores
They travel, travel, travel
In the bags with different people
And stop to rest in a basket
Or seated in a bowl
For take off to various destinations
There comes a boy
He takes an apple
Relishing a bite
Enjoying the crunchy munchy juicy apple.

I Tree Eternal

I

At first I was oval in shape, then I took the form of a raindrop. I didn't know what was happening to me. I waited in the moist dark land.


II

O…What a wonderful surprise, it was worth waiting, I was bathed with the beautiful beam of light and dressed with its golden hue and I saw a very big world in front of me. I had big and little friends who used to smile and wave at me now and then. It used to be very pleasant to be in such a nice atmosphere.


III

Everything was fine and I had grown into a small sapling. Every evening a care-taker came and tended us and we were all happy together.


IV

The next morning a new two-legged being visited us and I was chosen for his garden. I was transported to a nouveau jardin where everyone was surprised to see me and it was my new home. That evening I saw a little girl walking towards me, she seemed to be very friendly and nice. She was the one who took care of tous les arbres le nouveau jardin.


V

Days, months and years passed by, all of us grew together. Various flowering plants and trees such as button- roses, victoria-rose and other roses, jasmines, coral-stalk-jasmine, creeper-jasmine, tree-jasmine, hibiscus, white-scented-lilies, cute little green-bells, balsam, all blossomed, and the whole garden was filled with its hue and its own mild fragrance gently filled the fertile land. The fruit bearing plants and trees such as jack fruit, guava, cricket ball, custard apple, mangoes, jamblams, grapes, orange, bananas, pomegranates, cashews, almonds all looked full, round and ripe, delicious and juicy.


VI

This place was like a heaven on earth, especially to all the birds, butterflies, squirrels, lady –birds, etc.,. They always had a never ending feast to their full and were very healthy and happy singing to the glory of God and especially their master cum friend the no more little girl but belle dame.

VII

Majestically, I stood there with mildly baked body and emerald crown with topaz bouquets and jaded bunch of base -balls which held transparent juicy liquid and milky kernel within, my nuts were relished especially on a hot summer day, I helped the humans to cool down and rest and relax under my shade. My dear friend would read or write enjoying my cool atmosphere many times. I was happy with the others and
sort of proud too, for ma belle dame liked me the most for she often danced and sang around me whenever she was very happy, jolly, and in her high spirits.

Soudain, down to earth was my condition, I was ill and treated with pill but it was of no use, I deteriorated day by day, hence my life was coming to an end. Although everyone and even the agriculturist lost hope in me, and told that I was 99% dead and there was no point in having me and thereby to replace with a new one. Mais, cette belle dame, who had great confidence in her, challenged that within a month she would bring life into me. She devoted much of her time and energy in achieving her project. She loved me all the more and took extra care by thoroughly washing me off the decayed matter, removing the unwanted stuff, allowing free flow of light and air, by bathing and feeding me well to such an extent that I recovered from my deathbed, and regained strength and life. I was back with usual majesticity and pride—o no, now humble and wise, thankful and grateful to the heart that saved my life, where I am eternally united to that lifesaver. I do not exist anymore.

IX

I live in eternity!
