MISSING PEACE

The  amber lit wall

Perfect pictures and  frames

The heavy curtains

The  creaky rocking-chair 

Missing still!

The peace  within !

LOTUS, FULL-MOON AND PEACE

The full moon of wisdom rises

The lotus  of love blossoms

Lost in the gentle ripples

The mind resides in peace!  

GREEN IS THE COLOR

Lazing clouds embrace the hills

The morning drizzle!

The cool monsoon breeze!

 Left over from the nights down pour

Full up puddles!

Now blue with the clearing sky  

 Trees and lawns; fields and the hills     

  

Green is the colour!

Green is the colour of life!

Happiness resides!

Peace flows!

Oh! How blissful is this beauty of life! 

DEW DROPS AND PEACE

Dew drops on a lotus leaf

No sorrow, no grief!

Accepting evanescence!

Allowing transcendence 

No craving; no Clinging!

Neither to water; nor to leaf

Free to be; free to flow 

Wherever or whenever!

All is bliss! All is peace! 

TRANQUIL CACTUS

In this hotness of the raging summer

Days and nights go by

The hills and plains are left  dry  

The bushes and grasses whither

In the cracking cakes of  parched soil

Leafless trunks are scattered

There is empty blueness in the vast cloudless sky

Yet! Within the thorny greenness of the resilient cactus!

The tranquil water reigns!
