Me standing on the beach....

-



















Looking at the horizon
Where sky and earth meet

Raising the waves to and fro
The vast sea stands like a witness
It seems unequal from outside
Yet in complete equilibrium at core

The setting sun in one plane …
The raising moon in another
It appears two worlds from outside
But it’s all on the single planet

The thinking mind at times
The feeling heart sometimes
It makes discrete approaches from outside
Though its same person all the time

 What you see outside is
Seldom a reflection of inside
Yet….both meet at some point
Where there are no barrages
And life becomes one single line!

Sometimes in life too we are at a pint where everything converges and we have to choose/differentiate.

Yes, when we appear somewhere- just notice people reaction, it's never the same ...you bring at least 2 of u: visible and invisible ~ love this idea :)

i love the images you use here to make your point... when things come so close that they are one line..on one line... with nothing that separates... a great metaphor..

So often the inside and the outside does not match. Ideal is for it to match, but it isn't always the case. Your poem resonates with me...as so often outside does not show what is inside.

Neat poem. I really enjoyed the philosophical things this--thinking about where inside and outside meet--and where is reality anyway? Thanks for posting this.

Lovely write. It is wonderful to be aware of being on the cusp of that magic place where reality touches the infinite and the nowhere-notime...

Friends are like memories

Friends are like memories Some good… some bad Some sweet…   some mad True you can choose them But it’s they who decide…. to stay or leave Friendships are like cyclic process You meet …you mingle You treat…you part No one is permanent No one is life long They keep coming and going Some come for a season Some come with a reason Remember…they are like memories In fact …with time, friends become memories You evolve… Your thought evolve… Your memories evolve Bad may become good Good may be become bad…. Seasons do change…reasons may differ Remember… Friends are friends forever Friends remain in memories forever For Poets United Poetry Pantry #293

Jaane Kahan Gaye Woh Din?????

-
Mukesh is my favorite singer. And when I am young….specially during teenage days I use to madly listen to his songs. There is a kind of magic in his voice with inexplicable sadness…. That use to take me altogether to a different world. There are n numbers of Mukesh songs….which I know by heart and can sing along! But this one is like the ultimate…..Jaane Kahan Gaye Woh Din! Whenever I listen… there will be definitely tears in my eyes…. by the time the song is complete! The voice, the lyrics and the music….no match at all! And today I don’t know why? after long... long... time I just felt like listening to it! All those …who are sensitive at heart can listen and enjoy! Kyonki…. ”Baadhe saukyamane bhaavana raanevoy! AA yeruke nischalaanandamoy…Brahamaanandamoy”! Learn Telugu if you want to follow it!
