Eternity and beyond

 Love can only quench the thirst

Called life


And I wonder

The origin of consciousness 


May be

It was an explosion of the insatiable need 

To explore love


Love pulls

And pushes 


All the stories 

We remember


Are manifestations  of love


As if love is the ink 

With which life is written


It is also the story

And the writer


Love is the music

And we are the flute


And I wish

That love finds you

The green and the ocean blue

 Along the shore

I glanced over the sea


And the colours 

Blue 

Entered deep in my heart 


As if my heart was deep enough 

To contain the ocean 


And I looked at the sky

Blue, white clouds and the orange sun about to set

As I looked around the sands, the trees


There was this presence

The colours of everything signified

It’s unique presence in our lives


I was sitting on the beach 

And the colours darkened gradually


As if time 

Is nothing but change of colours 



And every moment 

Simply a unique canvas


And I saw the wick of a candle

Burning 

And inspiring poets for generations


As if the colours get tied so deeply

With the act of burning


The hairs that became grey as one aged

And the radiance of the youth


Every natural colour was alive 


Can’t help but notice human’s desire to paint

The tables 

And the pixels in the phone


Somehow human’s effort despite all it’s brilliance

Fell flat 

Like a musician who had a bad day 


I guess it needed the soul of an artist 

To give some life 

To colours humans paint

Of a boundless experience

 A connection 


Deeper than the sea

Wider than the sky


Exists in solitude


It’s unexplainable 

As it’s beyond logic


It cannot be passed on

As no language can ever do justice to it


Yet, 

Everyone knows that it exists


As,I sip my tea 

With the cosmos

Meet me and then treat me

Floating in the air

A night with silver sky


Sounds of festivities 

And crackers


Me writing this 

For nothing grand,

Like a child hiding behind a door

Or jumping in ecstasy 


Sometimes

Some souls

Join me on this trip

Of madness

Beauty

Joy

And calm


Sometimes

I dance alone

And smile alone


This part of my life seems more real


As if everything else 

Is simply a movie played in the theatre


And the ticket was not cheap

When I gave everything I had

And everything I could have


That the gates opened

bold claims

Everyone
I believe

Wants to

Act silly with loved ones

Sit unburdened for hours

Make love passionately

Stand naked in a jungle 

Sit for hours in comforting silence of friends


The only tragedy is
when the noise of life
Is so deafening

That life passes
Unheard

the collective whole

Harmony

Once experienced

Allows a deep dive

Into the infinite
The whole

The trees wildly waving
The birds beautifully chirping
The clouds magically moving

The serious becomes the non serious

And the non serious
Serious

And it's tough 
To express it

As it was meant to 
Be experienced
