some scattered thoughts....

sometimes i just stand on the edge of the terrace and try to hold the sky in my eyes...the evening sky dressed in sublime colours of beauty, purity and poignance....the setting sun on one side and the moon waiting at the door expecting a permission to enter...at this point...and this point alone...i think the sky gets to feel it's own indentity...just itself and all it's colours....not the holder of night neither the bearer of the day...just the sky....like any person would feel after he acquires his long-lost self, after he kills all the thoughts of abnegation and attachment, after he decides to quit being someone he is not intended to be....the sky stands thus...and in it's shelter stand the moon, the stars and the night...awaiting their turn....the sky picks them up....and lets them run over...to gather another day and another morning....

maybe that is the reason all of us love the evening sky....in it's emancipation (even though for a short while)...we see the purpose of our existence....

The Winds Flow

sometimes it has the face of peace
allaying all the parchment and distraught
and sometimes it just assumes a determined force
the one that destructs...and one that bellow
and the winds flow...the winds flow....

the winds flow
carrying the message; they know
Under the evening sun
on the autum leaves;
they tear their path
and ahead they go...
the winds flow...the winds flow...

the barrenness doesn't trouble them
and the colours don't fascinate them
the apostles of faith and grandness
they succumb to none; but they may bow
the winds flow...the winds flow...

the sea? they laugh on her face
and make noise to kill it's slumber
and over the waves they ride
into the night's glow
the winds flow...the winds flow...

the august winds
have the heart of a hero
a spirit of success
a sound of life
a breath of dream

they touch all; and change all
yet none know their fountainhead
and none know when they are dead
for on all mortals; just one knowledge they bestow....
the winds flow...the winds flow...
