To be content

When one has everything
one worries to lose even a small thing
and when one has but just a little
the little becomes everything
in being content with what one has
one finds joy, fullness and peace
with love and gratitude in the heart
one overcomes all worries!

A New Birthday

Wish me everyday
to celebrate life
each passing day
why do I have to wait
the whole year
till there comes
my birthday
One is born
to live and love
and let not go
any single day
before one leaves
one's own mark
so fresh and warm
like a new birthday!

Memories

Memories remain
etched or blurred
they go with us
and then pass away
so as long as they last
the sweeter they are
it's better for us
what we invest therein
makes a difference
to make them memorable
in later days
as we age!

Big picture

An experiment big
where it leads
critics aplenty
support wafer thin
majority just watch
which side it swings
those who initiate
take a big risk
the picture that they see
their curiosity unbounded
passion gives courage
they just can't sit
same dreams they live
in the subconscious
and reality

To face adversity

One fights and spends
the energy and vitality
and weaker one becomes
in health and peace
one who faces adversity
patiently and cheerfully
stronger one becomes
determined and unwavering
this's an investment
when nothing appears encouraging
but it gives returns
in its own time
several times the effort
that's put in

Share your peace

With noise all round
why add more to it
nothing is heard
louder's the pitch
share your calm
and your peace
even a whisper
is heard clearly
silence says much
where words fail
and in deep silence
springs creativity

What the soul needs

Take as much as you want
it's never enough
give with both hands
it fills and gives
joy and peace
as never before
Share what you have
and gain all that
what your soul needs
one remains poor
with worldly riches
