Why is solace so
singularly sad
yet uplifting
in its hushed solitude?
is it not then
we hear the lilting
melodies of our hearts?
Why is silence
sought out
when the wind
hushes
for no one
and whispers
no names but
those we keep
secret and close
to our heart of hearts?
How could it be more tender
in any other way?
Why would I want
a pain loved so truly
by solemness
shared in any other way?
a relief-ful sleep
a deep pressed sleep
a well steeped sleep
a much welcomed sleep
a tumble less slumber
an uninterrupted doze
now i bring my eyes to close
and sleep with peace on my mind

an often seen post
“be happy for yourself”
“make yourself happy first”
“your happiness depends on you”
“you make your happiness”
“you are the creator of your joy”
a superficial toast to what one wants to be
but without you….i cannot seem to find myself
let alone find the joy sunken low within me

another deadline written in the air
another supposed timely due date
another task for my fickle patience
arduous it is to wait and not waste away a little more each time
i cannot bear this burden
and so i give it up to you
so that i may have some peace
before you name me
as its bearer
i may regret it
i may mislead myself with hope
yet for now i cannot bear the weight
not before i know if it is mine to bear….
the outside world
was too caught up
in its
tossing and turning
whirling and churning
the suspended droplets
swam hurriedly into rivulets
many arms
tossed between them
a head
many arms
held a woman
possessed
and so the shadow play of the wind persisted
the trees erratically moving to a music
not heard but seen
in that frenzied chill
of time
Sleep escaped
and Peace retreated
and Thought
imagined
things that
had yet to
happen
but determined
that they would.
a day winds down
welcoming the sun’s slumber
with beckoning arms
God
you save me
in so many countless ways
with every word i utter
in prayer
with every breath
i take in hope
with every moment
i live this life
humanize me
so that i too can spend
my life worrying over
the pursuit green paper.
humanize me
so that i too can fight
battles over borders
not even visible in air.
humanize me
so that i too can know
fellows are only human
when they are not my enemy.
humanize me
so that i too can see
myself as another
who is just a better copy of me.
humanize me
so that i too shall know
of happiness pursued
but never attained…
