Voice of the river
From the cliff of the mountain roaming through the jungle telling numerous tell,listen the voice of the river
Moving slowly with grief of detachment when it comes down from the cliff like a new born baby who cry with fear when it is taken away from her mother
Its stream are cuddled in the womb of mountain,reluctant to go but destiny is bound to happen.It has to fall it has to fall to rise again
It moves slowly reluctantly unknowingly that it will fall and be known as spring.But destiny is written that it has to fall.
It yells with roaring noise when it falls that sound may be pleasant to those who adore it but it is sound of fear of grief of anger of detachment from affectionate womb of mother.
O visitor enjoying the picturesque fall do you hear the pain, just listen,listen to the voice of the river
O man don't you see the calmness when you visit the river bank.The silence the stillness it has got after wandering here and there like a galloping deer loses its hope when it is striked under its predator paw.Listen the helpless hopeless voice of the river
Do you feel the cool wind it is nothing but call of a bedridden old man who has lost his warmth and agility but it has to flow
It has to flow irrespective of conditions adverse or favourable because it has to meet its destiny.O man listen the grief ridden voice of the river
Now the time came,the time came to get submerged into its beloved soul leaving behind all its sorrow, grief despair vices virtue love and affection for the world to remember
O man have you listened the true voice of the river

POETRY
Enchanted Forest Queensland, Australia Photograph: Kevin De Vree
Life is how we see it
Man in the wood :it is hard to go there is shrubs and bushes thorns and pebbls
Wood : I am providing you canopy of shades protecting you from scorching sun
Man in the desert: it is hard to go there is scorching sun no shade.
Desert : Do n't looose heart i am giving you endurance and resillience.
Man on the land: it is hard to go path is bumpy full of mud and dust
Land: O sweet lad i am providing softness to your legs, cool wind beautiful scenery.
Man in the sea: It is hard to go tides are high sea is vast and lonely ness all around
Sea: O man can't you admire cool gentle winds, singing of albatross, dancing of fish
People's opinion are dangerous if you don't know yourself.They are like colourful sunglasses which make the world visible but in the colour which others want you to see
Far away in the cold west
There lives a pair of bird in their nest
The couple were young when they met
Fell in love at their first date
It has been several year of their courtship
But not able to give warmth to their relationship
Every year mother hatches the egg with hope
To give birth to healthy babies and nurture them to make a flock
But the nature was harsh and weather was cold
Chicks die when they became little old
There was no end to the mother pain
Life seems to be burden, all efforts in vain
One day the couple felt warm wind from the east.
We should fly to the land decided the beast
Other birds stopped warn them of the danger
It is very mad to venture a place so stranger
Couple heard no one, flew towards the wind
Hoping that one day their agony will come to end
Flew for several months braving the cold weather
Traveling across several seas and mountain has weakened their feathers.
There was a mighty mountain before the last post
Flew with utmost strength to beat the mighty ghost
Their wings got broken body fell from the sky
Reached to the destination,no need to fly.
It is said that every year flock of bird from west
Fly across the mountain to show them respect.

Though come black and white rich and pauper,elite and down trodden,big and small merge into each other,there is no difference remain at all.
Is black is black and white is white
There is something else deep inside
There is energy, motion, feeling emotion
Which dissolves into unity of superconscious notion
If all is same and nothing is different then why there is so much hindrance
Why white envy black and birth determines fate.
How taller becomes superior than small
Is it natural or rule of dominance where one fits all.
Is day seems brighter if there will be no night
Will there be relevance of dark if there is no white.
What we see what we percieve what we express are they real or illusion.
Do Our mind think is right or it is mere dillusion.
Fragrance of the flower chirping of the bird babble of the river,light of the sun. They are not different they are one.
There went the shepherd climbing mountainous land.He has nothing to accompany him but herds of lamb.
He has found solace in his solitude.
There is no shepherd there is no lamb.
Duckling, fawn, lion cub all are different and all are same.
Only the wise will embrace the truth who has knowledge of the gem.
