Blissful Awakening

Where am I?...I wake up after a long time. I don't know this place but it seems familiar for some reason. I see no one around me but lots of huge trees, leaves, rough pathways, animals and birds that don't seem to be scared of me. They look curious though, feels like they have not seen someone like me before. A cool breeze is blowing due to which trees sway, they don't seem to have complaints of any kind. I can hear the sound of a river flowing nearby. The sound is so full of tranquil. After a long time, I am feeling light, like I have never been tired, sad and lost my entire life. Is this bliss? Am I alive? I must be because I have never felt so alive in a while. I realize that I have a smile on my face.

Strangely, there is no fear in me. I get up and I look around, I am in a pursuit of something. There.., it seems so familiar. I have seen something like this before. Even if I had a language that I could speak, I wouldn't be able to explain the beauty that I find in its eyes and that serene smile. But there is no language that we know of, no words that we know to speak. Still, somehow, we are talking. There is no noise though that we can make. I ask her the place where I am and what all this is. And now I know, with a blink of her eyes. It tells me, this is my blissful awakening.

Hormones

We have always been talking about the good and the bad. The state of mind, the happiness that we look for and the contingencies that we try to avoid. The stability and satisfaction are what we have been thriving for, for a long time now. Of course, we are in pursuit of contentment. It has been continuing for long and yet we fail to define what it is that we are looking for. What am I looking for?

Nothing in Mind

With nothing in mind, I was born
No knowledge of truth or false
All the noise they have made
Worthless words they ever said
has lead me to here and now
I want to be silent and observe silence,
I want to rise again, with nothing in mind.

No Contingency

All his life
He was rife
with all the smallest doubt

the way he lived
for things, he limned-
all was trivial throughout

and at his fall
when the end did call
He knew it all was prime

(yet) it couldn’t have been
another way be seen
For life is not beyond time.

Word of Moment

I am moving, leaving behind all the sweet memories. Those sweet memories make me sad as I realize that I can never live the same moments again. It leaves me in a state where I am smiling and feeling pain at the same time. The pain is unbearable. The memories are blurry and it's becoming hard to understand whether I had a better life then or I have a better life now. I feel old and I realize I have lost a lot of things being unaware of their worth. I continue to loose them even today. The precious present moment slips from my palm as I listen to the concerns and plans of people in another dimension. The answer to secret questions somehow do not convince me. All the noise that I listen makes me wonder if there is a purpose already explained in an answer or a different purpose. Is really the only sane reason of human existence, love?

Trying to explain a reason, I write these words,
being within the limits - the words, my feelings remain unexplained.

No End.

When I was little, I used to eagerly wait for those days and times when something good would happen. I believed we would do a lot of hard work, save money and one day would be able to buy a Scooter. Days and months and years passed and my wish grew stronger. Then suddenly one day, my father called me and showed me a Scooter at home. It took me some time to accept that it was ours.

Chasing Cars

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
