Mind...the maker of my thoughts

Mind.....the maker of my thoughts

Mind, the generator of all my thoughts

Making them the dice to play life fully

It is our body’s super computer to act

It’s all in the way it is effective or efficient

Whatever we want to out of our life

Managing our own and each of the feelings

Happiness, Joy, Worry, Guilt, Anger

Jealousy, Sorrow, Pain and Suffering

Every thought and feel is born in mind

Be it happy day or a scary future awaits

Every feeling induced either to salvation or bliss

Thoughts chatter incessant noises caused

Thousands thoughts that go in the mind

Happiness on integrity and transparency

Difficult thoughts on what has otherwise happened

Trips of thoughts go far and wide

Without visas, money or travel hassles

Complains, regrets, excitements all in parcel

Making our own mind strong and powerful

Mind powers the strengths of this universe

Thoughts are not resisted, but let to persist

Tame thoughts making them meaningful

A strong purpose and a true visit

Need to be played with passion and diligence

Keeping aesthetic quality to our thinking

Bringing in the beauty, and a sense of purpose

With meaning to everything that we do!

Thoughts scattered as mustard seeds all over

With worries, fear, anxiety and often angry

Need to stop suffering at the hint of pain

In thoughts, we can see the beauty and magic

To cherish the miracles of life

In every day beauty and its occurrences

Pointing our mind in the right direction

Towards true self and life’s real vision

Nothing will distract us, not even the pain

It’s time to keep our thoughts, mustard seeds

Gathered and mind monkeys tamed

To live to the magic of each glorious moment

All moments, both fine and awakened

Will have to make the best in our life

Making them memorable or manic

Is all in the way how we mind our thoughts!!!

Destiny - Don't Resist! Embrace It!

Date:  10 April 2015

Destiny- Don’t Resist! Embrace it!

 Destiny is what it is

Just with smile embrace it

Who are we to resist life?

Let things happen to deal

Resistance always brings grief

Happenings ordained to will

God’s Master plan has no flaws

Situations do happen to prevail

Destiny for many reasons is difficult

Sometimes eventful and frightening

Not easy to let it happen and deal

Without us prepared for it to happen

Pause and take a deep breathe

Look back at the life’s upsets

Crises and tragedies that went by

Up until as they were managed

Recognize the futility in resistance

They just happened and we crossed

Despite all that worry and kicking around

Yes, we did cross the misery and suffering

Shed light on hidden agony and erase

Untold stories of pain and deep gravity

We had the strength and we shall have

To face our destiny calmly, purposefully!

Dealing with destiny is not doing nothing

But making it happen with best of ability

Without being agitated or desperate

Channelizing the sorrow and distaste

Focus, purpose and astute actions

Taken to change the odd situations

Accepting those things that don’t change

Conceptually letting the struggle disdain

On the surface though we smile

The innate human trait to cling to past

Makes us have one foot on the bygone

Hindering our progress and moving on

Destiny is to make you understand strong

That the past is dead and forever gone

The time that will never come back

And it is time to stop dwelling ourselves in it

Removing bad memories and past

Is a hard struggle than an easy advice?

The minutes we realize and let it go

It’s the opportunity to live freely

Yes, I don’t want to look back now

Want to focus on what I can do

Continue to seek peace with myself

Help myself and others in lives’ journeys

Staying stoic is a strong strength

Stay resolute is an empowered thought

There are loses that can never recover

Yet, the lesson is always there to inspire

The value in accepting and moving

With conviction and absolute calm

What is lost, for instance may be regained

But sometime, there can more things gruesome

Destiny also makes us count our blessings

You have to let go grief to enjoy happiness

If you want to be in peace, in bliss

Give up resisting life, give up grieving

Embrace life for what it is, the way it is

Loving ‘what is’ is intelligent living

Destiny is just a way of life, embrace it

It is a God’s calling, for us, in his way!

An ode to my future

9 April 2015

An ode to my future

Oh my dear future,

Here I come to you

Embracing with a smile

Asking you for peace

Stumbled did I many times

But that’s all in the bygones

I look upon to walk head high

With hope and honest thought

You will hold the pieces

Of goodness that I wish

With it my happy times

And my daughter’s dreams

You will see me calm

Gaining with you wisdom

To keep aging with grace

And behold my trust in self

Future, not just another day

You are my friend to share

All my remaining life

To shine and surrender

Will not bring into you

The garbage I leave behind

I will hold you in esteem

With confidence and truth

One day, I will hold them

My beautiful grandchildren

Will pamper them more

And prune them to be kind

I will stop being to myself wild

Take life slowly as it comes

Want to take things in soft tide

Will put down the smoking fumes

I will give up on few things

That I need not bring into you

The thoughts of vengeance

Rock solid memories of grief

I want to roll over the mat

Laugh with legs up like a child

As I grow old with pepper spray

My thoughts go like kid too

Am sure to wear the favorite skirts

And sit in the beach writing poems

Watching my grandchildren play

And building castles of their dreams

Both my husband and I will go fragile

Yet we will not let our spirits die

We will still rule our world in joy

May be with the walking sticks as toys

Would love to take our retired lives

Amidst the serene green farm house

That I would surely one day build

And have my own dogs and cats around

We will walk slowly but arms in around

Just like we do today too, but smaller steps

Will still pick a stone and throw

In the brooks that will run aside

Age coupled with the present stress

May make my body a reservoir of diseases

Yet, I know for sure, I will have him

Giving me medicines and care on time

I will still smile, keeping all pains away

Will ask for a movie date with popcorn

Love calling myself a sugar factory

Yet, would love to cheat-treat myself

A day will come, soon if not far

When I will put the board with pride

Of my daughter’s career that she makes

And will look for her to come back from work

Will jump in joy, the day she becomes a bride

Ensure that she has the best wedding

A good loving charming husband

And a sweet home to call her future home

Future, honestly, I will be not the same

Without her, my baby, with me around

But I will know for sure, that she is happy

Where ever she is in her life of her own

He and I will do what little things we can

Giving back to us is always a joy and fun

Not sure what I will leave behind in this world

But for sure, some goodness to be cherished

I will sleep in my eternal rest, with no fears

Will not end this life in any undue tears

I had enough of all of them in the frenzy past

I will go to the other world, in sheer happy note!
