When thunder lurks
And seizes your will;
When hope despairs,
And to the brim you fill.

When the murky sky
Cries out your heart;
And the parched earth,
Befriends your part.

When the days are done
And the spirits hauled,
To the dust it lies,
With your strength mauled.

Stand back and fear not
To fight the world;
To build up the lost
To restore and hold.

-

The sun ushers you on this day,
To brighten every step on your way,

The leaves look up to you in green,
Turning their heads in deep ween,

The blooms smell unusually fragrant,
Apparently luscious and more vibrant,

The mellifluous chirpings pervade the air,
Illuminating life and its share.

Reminding you of your invaluable being,
You are the joy, the mirth of spring.

-

When life seemed no less than a mountain,
When stars broke down into dust,
When the azure looked overcast,
When the path seemed wayward,
When every step felt stony,
When the sights were foggy,
When emotions surged in mammoth swells,
There emerged a faint beacon,
That slowly grew in form, in shape
And in its being of you.
Bringing back the beats, the silence, the strength, the resilience,
And eliminating darkness, despair, tears, and agonies.
I found my pieces,
Forever indebted to you.

-

The hidden me
Shall remain concealed,
Forever, in your entity.
Your journey shall continue
Without me or
With me from miles away.
I will be patient,
Being your pillar,
I will be strong,
Being your need,
I shall be there at every step
But never holding hands with you.

And one day, l will cease to exist
Ending my facade for good,
Shattering the pillar in me,
Crushing my strength,
Never building up again
The lost me.
But I shall still remain hidden
Within you,
As a lost letter, as a long-lost tale.

-

Bring down the dazzling blots
And scatter them around,
Revel in their shine;
And hold them not.

Let them spread
To the depths and the heights,
Allow them to seep into your soul;
And desist them not.

As they go about spiraling
Dive into their trance,
And obliviate all odds,
But forget them not.

-

Leaving behind your woe and anxiety,
Get away to a world of peace and sanctity.

-

Dreams bury yourself deep
and fathom not your verity,
for you shall not be realized
in any form or entity.

From dawn to dusk
you find your seat in the eyes,
oblivious of what you bask
raveling in frail ties.

Go, set yourself free
from the dungeon menacing.
Look up to the skies
and dissipate into nothing.

-

The specks that blot the night sky
are not just dusts of gold.
They are a hundred stories
that remains untold. 

Today, I lend you my voice
unwary as you seem.
You may vouch the hidden
and shine with a brighter gleam.

When you shoot down across,
do you shed your passions few
or abhor the vile and evil
that you pent up in the blue?

As the sky dons the dark,
you seem far far away.
Then do you piously pray
To flare up another day?

-

In your unbeaten path 
along a narrow trail
you trickle down in mirth
murmuring your gale.


Around the sharp wild
you wind away in glee
gushing forth your pile
down the green valley.


Every hitch you embrace
with arms wide and free.
You teach the human race
how seizing the whole is the key.

Trailing in wilderness
with a handful of nothing,
when the misty haze
obscures the sight of everything.

A thousand wrongs in the way
has led the journey vacant.
Seemingly the trail is lost
in the superficial apparent.

Not all is lost though
there's a thin silver lining.
Holding back all laments
and the appalling whining.
