THIS IS HEAVEN
The place were you live is Heaven
You have everything
What else do you want?
Different kinds of food, :- fresh, fast, ready-made ones
Variety of entertainments, :- music, art, literature, dance,
One that suits your shelter, :- home, apartment, hotel, nature (Earth Mother Nature)
This is Heaven!
Well what about hell?
Why do you need to worry about that?
Just curious to know
Fine, well sometimes, your mind is hell!
How.....?
When you worry too much
Disturbing the peace, harmony, calmness in you
When there is no love, kindness, and care to share
When there is no one to support your feelings, emotions, thoughts, ideas
When there is no abundance in all the three necessities of human life
Then Hell is here!
So, its wise to think about the virtues of life
Practice them, see them in your life!
You need not worry about anything
You will just feel the serenity flowing in you
You will feel more energized physically, mentally most of all spiritually!!!!
And that tells This is Heaven and you are here!

Special Stones
Simple stones
Polished and engraved
Become special
Very special indeed!
Here I select
Heart shaped one with 'peace'
For peace should come from your heart!
Circle shaped one with 'love'
For love should be continuous and complete!
Oval shaped one with 'wisdom'
For experience over a period of time brings wisdom!

DIVINE LOVE
Love, pure love is true bliss
How could anyone express it?
Until they experience one
None can express even if they experience,
The true bliss of love!
It should be felt
Cant be explained or expressed.
Its beyond passion and affection
A love so true and Divine!
Just the thought, brings in true bliss
Indescribable happiness, incredible peace,
Serene love, so pure and sublime!
So soft and white as the freshly fallen snow
As real as just now blossomed rose
A blend of beauty, creativity and hue
So profound , pure, fresh, and true to even comprehend!
Words deny to express for they are insufficient and hence
Divine Love can only be felt by the soul !

Fresh from the Shower
Bathed in rain
Is the beautiful azure sky
Sparkling Sun
Shining so bright
Silver silhouette
Snow colored clouds
Barren wet trees
Await spring
Harmoniously howling wind's music
Resembles the resonance of the Ocean!

A Jolly Good Time
The leaves are sleeping on the curb side
The wind comes crawling beside
Wake up, wake up, baby
'ts time to dance, whispers the wind
Sweet howls of the wind are music to its ears
It makes the leaves rock n roll
A skip, jump, hop, roll, and twirl
A jig and hug
On the black top floor
Emerald green floor
A jolly good time
Has arrived and hence this
twirling, rolling, jumping, skipping,
hopping, bouncing, crossing, and gliding
A jolly good time .....!

Beautiful Birds
Wow what a lovely creation
Very Wonderful indeed
I cant imagine
Neither the vibrant colors nor the variety,
Until I see for myself!
I relax everyday amidst Nature
I feed the birds on my deck
With few bread crumbs
Left from my son's lunch preparation!
Well I had to wait for some days
Until the birds got used to be fed
Initially the crumbs remained
On the deck for a couple of days.
Later I found that they disappeared.
When I was not around
I was curious to know what was going on...
Since I didn't witness the scene!
One day when I was cooking
I was amazed to see through my kitchen window
The response of these wonderful birds
Bright beautiful scarlet red cardinals
Flew down from the trees to find their food.
Handsome blue jays dived down to hoard
Red headed, white spotted black feathered
woodpecker, pecked on some pieces
(Red bellied Woodpecker)
Petite yellow-beak-black-feather-white body birds
nibbled nicely. (Dark-eyed Junco)
Sweet little house sparrows had a scrumptious meal
Black velvet beauty, brown headed, metallic green sheen got some bites.....!
(Brown-headed Cowbird)
Small sombre gray tufted titmouse bravely pecked
The long-tailed, black and white wing, sleek beak, long legged, mockingbird guarded its territory and chased the others who came to eat!
The rusty green female cardinals, ruby red males,
Blue jays, sparrows all awaited for their turn
Hither was a tree decorated with real colorful birds
It was worth watching these awesome birds
I keep feeding them everyday.
One fine winter day,
When my kids and husband were home
I gifted them with this great experience
I could see the boundless joy and excitement
Shinning on their face, and this was,
Absolutely a feast to their eyes!
If at all I forget to feed
The birds remind me
By flying down on the deck for a peck
I feel connected to Nature
I get immense joy in feeding these little beauties
I feel contented in this small ritual I do everyday!
