Silence is Golden

Date:   5 April 2015

Silence

One thing I struggle to keep in life- Silence

I know in all provocation, it is the best weapon

It is not the sign of weakness

But a strong sign of astute evolution

Mastery of life and scientific temperament

I should stop reacting to every provocation

Making more noise responding to impulses

Stupid action on unwanted situations

Seen and heard, making matters worse

Intentional speech, rhetoric with visibility

Ignoring palatable behavior, more in less demand

Than a silent resolve and resolute action

I know, not saying anything is best answer

For silence can never be misquoted.

Silent minds deliver the most than noisy souls

Put the heads down to work that shoot off the mounts

Time for me to transform from being ‘visible’,

Expressive and overtly charged in all situations

Need to be a ‘silent yet focused soldier’

Stopping my monologues and rue a conversation

Time to give up times of me alone speaking

Inspired by my man, who remains a silent spectator

Speaking few words that speak of his mind

Time to stop accusing silent souls of inaction

Taunting myself and accusing other ineptitude

Stop being victims of godforsaken silence

Understanding that silence is a golden beacon

A shining light, of living intelligently

That silence can withstand any of life’s storms

Handling things one at a time, wiping out evil

Silence is not a sign of giving in or giving up!

It is action in its purest, all pervasive form

Letting universe cloaked in silence

Making my internal energies manifests

Stop being in undue debates, mud-slinging

Face of allegations and accusation, amidst rabid

Verbose, flaky point of views dissipate word-fare

Yes, as Greek Xenocrates said, in his confession

I have often regretted my speech, than silence

Time to be silent, connect with deeper self

Creating the energy that lies within

Time to harness the inner solid energy

Actions that would pursue yielding result

Ensuring the outcomes that matter and want

Best way to win battles is not to fight at all

Best way to win argument is not speak at all

Time to regain, refine and act on what I believe in!

Messengers of God

Date: 4 April 2015

Messengers of God in Cosmic Design of Life!

You may come to help me,

Or just enjoying hurting me

You may be in love with me

Or enjoy showing hate on me

You can come to let me down

Or just be there to lift me up

You may come to stay with me

Or just like a passing cloud to leave

Each one of you are Messengers of God

Giving me life’s greatest lessons

Letting me learn, evolve, grow & thrive!

Just like any of my lifetime’s encounters

Constantly making me worry about

You who don’t understand or love me

Craving for unnecessary attention

Instead, lately I decided upon myself

That I would look for those who believe

In me and in principle be there for me

Why give a thought to those who despise

Those who are self-centered and nosy

Ignoring those who provide unsolicited advice

Leave behind the relationships that sour

Get away from the difficult people to work with

Keeping those away who abuse and harass with no end

Those who bawl at you and love to humiliate, ignore

I decide to arise again every time I fall,

Hard-working self will win over my limitations

Let me do what makes me happy

And stay in an absolute inner peace

Decided not to be unhappy with whatever I do

No matter how difficult or daunting

Yes, I decided to move on for good

There are messengers who stay connected

Whom I want to stay in touch, but lost for ever

Spirit of a compassion of a mother

And guile of a Master of this universe

The larger cosmic design defines  my life

It’s my life’s glorifying path and road-map

On this journey, I will celebrate all the people

Who touch my life, no matter who they are!

What they impact me, but would remain grateful

For each encounter or connection is an experience

A wonderful teaching and divine lesson to hold!

Courage

Date:  3 April 2015

Courteously arising ahead from the pain

Be it physical, emotional or financial

Morally standing ahead of all and strong

For the fact of life that is correct and right

Courage is not just another good virtue

It’s the spirit of the soul and strength of the heart

Stand tall even when others put you to shame

Integrity stands ahead amidst any fake scandal

It is a discipline, it is a model, it is a practice

Be any times of uncertainty or intimidation

The engulfing amount of fears or danger

Only Courage will make you cross the winds

Of the storms, of the dust and of the times

Sustains yourself in face of difficulty

Makes you survive any damn adversity

It is the endurance of the inner soul

Knowledge of the grounds of will and hope

Courage is the habit of the mind in harmony

With wisdom, tolerance and fearlessness

Courage denotes the firmness of mind

The strength to face and if need may fight

Withstanding the times that are dire and strange

Bearing all the human traumas and trails

Courage is the only strength that lets you take

The steps that others are frightened to even make

Yes, Courage is not just a cardinal virtue

It is the spirit of your soul and of tougher You!
