Sun’s Communication
The
sun peeping into my little universe,
With
its stimulating sunlight,
Percolating
into my soul,
Highlighting
the brilliance,
Shadowing
the dark,
Communicates
to me in a soft, modest tone,
Attempting
to make me realize,
That
nothing is so colossal than life itself.
The
sun promises to accompany my heart,
With
all its radiance,
Illuminating
my soul intrinsically,
Concealing
my miseries,
Boasting
of my strengths,
Enlightening
my mind with all its supremacy,
Adding
colors to my little universe, telling me,
That
nothing is so colossal than life itself.

It was once Fragile!
It
was once fragile,
Seeking
out for some support,
From
charitable earthlings,
Hoping
to share the bounties
with
the well bred—
Asking
for a favor
from
eternal Nature–
In
a silent plea with moist eyes,
With
all its tenderness and fragility,
It
hoped to have a strong survival,
Sharing
the energy and soul of Nature,
Dreaming
to be no more fragile,
But
very resilient and supportive.
And
one day, it got all what it dreamt for–
Standing
as a strong representative of Nature,
Ready
to listen and attend to all the pleas,
from
all those still in their fragile postures.

The Creator’s
Benevolence
The
sun was eloquent in its aggression,
Flaring
with full opposition,
Showing
its hostility towards the earthlings,
Enforcing
an affiliation order to the wind making it feverish,
When
the Unrestricted showed it its’ limitation,
It
was brought to light, bright light!
There
was a thunderous roar with cracking lightning,
As
He ordered black broad clouds to cover sun’s hostility.
The
sun at once submitted to the creator’s will,
Forgetting
all about its arrogance and planned ill,
It
just bowed and curtained itself with the clouds that were thunderous,
And
equipped to bless all disregarding their being sinners or virtuous.
The
feverish wind broke its alliance to the sun,
And
supported the clouds to adhere to the creator’s call,
And
became a blessing for the earthlings all.
It
moved from all directions causing the clouds to thicken more,
It
worked tirelessly and vigorously to make sure,
There
was no more hostility and nothing to endure.
The
thickened clouds could not control the outpour,
And
the arid wells, barren lands and parched souls saw a cure.
The
showers washed all raw and refined,
The
rainbows made everything defined,
The
symphony was loud and rhymed,
The
creator’s actions were assuring and kind,
Maintaining
His hold on the world and humankind,
Promising
to keep all bountiful and supplied.

Whispering
Sea and Moon....
The
sea and the moon quite close together,
Whispering to each other, try not to bother,
The
faraway stars who attempt rather,
To
overhear their harmonious chatter,
But
they fail in the struggle, no matter.
The
moon wants to drown in water,
But
he marvels on his shade improper,
While
the sea is a very good plotter,
Always
trying to raise his hands as locker,
Never
to take custody of the watcher.
The
whispering between the two continues forever,
The
sea works as a shrewd persuader,
But
the moon is also a descent dissuader,
Both
talk about unification as stalker,
In
a never ending struggle of slaughter.
