Fullness...3

AISm.photosight.ru

Life delicate
is not life fragile
Life tender
is also 
Life full
of doubts
and delights.
Doubts also
walk with
certainty of 
step and earth
leaving open
all possibilities
- you may not reach
- digress
- return
- make a new home
Just as I am here
wondering 
if it is wise
to postpone
living my own
life.

A Place in the Sun

AISm.photosight.ru

A place in the Sun

is not easy

to keep

and the Sun

never fails to 

remind

you that soon

enough

you are to yield

it to the newer order

and fade away.

Isn't it good

to fade away 

and be remembered

than to hang on

haggardly

in spite

of cold stares

that wait to

push you over 

the brink

into the abyss of oblivion?

Your place in the sun

is in the heart 

of your soul.

Acceptance ....lll

dimasscorpio.photosight.ru

If it is coldness, so be it
if darkness, welcome it.
I won't soothe myself
saying
there will be warmth
and there will be
light;
I accept what life
presents me with
and stay with it
- something happened
and the warmth went out;
- something blew and
light went out.
I stopped offering
and seeing.
It is okay not to
offer sometimes
not to see sometimes.
I am not here to whip
myself or
flog others.
These things happen
and I must respect them.
Accept them.

Acceptance...ll

Life is to live
not to repent
not to regret
I have stomached it all
- the rejections
- departures
- disappointments
There are many things 
I must attend to -
Living at hand
with relations
and responsibilities
Loving those
around me
is to honour life
and accept myself.

Colours of Life....1

sergtimos.photosight.ru

There are times
when nature
decides for me
what I should 
think, feel and do;
So it is today
as I gladly accept
all colours round me
knowing well
those are resident 
within me
and resplendent too.
Some ordinary and
familiar
others appear
once in a while
and attract mightily
Both have a place in me
and me a place in them
as I fix my gaze on them
I am transfixed becoming 
inseparable from them
the sheer beauty of being one
with Nature!!

Confront.....4

OBLAP.photosight.ru

I was in two minds
like always
and like everyone else
I guess.
One said
forget it 
it is no use
confronting 
someone you no longer
want to relate to 
and the other said
it isn't for the sake
of the other but
for your own sake.
You need to know 
where you stand and
what stops you
from moving ahead
and you have notions
of yourself and
of fairness 
of justice
that you need to test
and become whole
once again.  So
confront you must.
And so here I am
to tell you 
that time it is for me
to call it a day
with you 
for we no longer 
walk the same path
walk in step
and walk toward
the same goal.
The time we spent 
together
was a great time
and then something
changed not in us
but between us.
It's no use trying 
to find out.
So each goes own way
and it is okay
and I will be okay
and I hope you too.
That's about it
and that's all.

Holding on

harmonicus.photosight.ru

They said
let go
leave it
move on;
thorn pierced 
your sole
and then you
took it out
and threw away
long back.
So think not 
of it,
Don't hold on to it
Don't look for a thorn
every time you step out
Well, yes, I should do that.
But the pain stabs
and I can't forget
nor do I forget my courage
in holding firm
and pulling things out
and moving on.
i hold on to
myself.

There was Light .....lll

abazali.photosight.ru


It took me time
to emerge
from the darkness
within
I had made it
my world
to cover myself
in darkness.
But then my thoughts
my desires
my passion 
all dark became.
In them I melted
to become
a statue of wax
that needed 
neither light nor air.
A ray of light came
from nowhere and I 
opened my eyes
and there was Light
again.

Delving...2

s-o-l-o-m-o-n.photosight.ru

The more I know
the more the mysteries grow
The more I bare
the more I realise lies hidden
The darker the shadows get
the brighter is the glimmer of hope
Alone in my nakedness
I gather all pain and joy of the world
I know there is a bottom
to all memories pushed down
down the ages
I delve not in the hope
of unearthing gems
I enter to feel the warmth
that lies along
all the way down
the depths of emotion.

The Shape...3

When I feel light
there's a spring 
in my step
a stirring in my soul
Then I know not
what possesses me
but my limbs are lithe
and my spirit
has spright
and my whole
body breaks
into a dance 
of the divine
beyond all music
and all symphony.

Small is Beautiful

nehoroshy.photosight.ru

Small though you are
O little leaf
and tender too,
you take in the light
of the Bright Sun - 
the one and only 
in this galaxy
to give Light!
And you are the one
to silently turn 
it into food
that nurtures 
the tree and fruit
that contains 
the life of future
generations!
And in time
you fulfil your duty
and turn yellow 
and fade silently
to await fall
and even then
you merge into the 
holy of the earth
to nourish the soil
yet again.
How lovely is your
transitory existence
exuding love
all the while
everywhere!
Oh my sweet little
Leaf of beauty!
