SOUND OF SILENCE

Have you ever heard the sound of the beautiful silence echoing from afar?

I enjoy it in my heart

Which keeps all my secrets

It echoes,  yes the silence echoes

So loud and clear

The silence sings many tunes

Of melody overpowering

All sounds and chaos

The sound of silence is

So powerful

It can be heard within

Your own heart !

Keep listening to your heartbeat

It's music to the ears !

The sound of silence

Clears the dust from your

Heart which accumulated

For years

Now is the time

Now is the time

To listen to the sound of silence

emanating from your beautiful heart

Listen

Shh

Listen to that wonderful

Sound of silence

Your heartbeat !

IN THE STILLNESS ...

In the stillness of the night

When all are into deep slumber

When sparkling stars in the sky

Playing hide n seek with the moon

My mind wanders to far away

places, carrying my beautiful

thoughts of my childhood days

I sit alone in a garden nearby

The soft breeze caressing my

lissom body

I take a walk  through the

Garden of my heart

Where flowers bloom throughout

In happiness and sorrow

Hearing the gurgle of the streams

I feel escastic suddeny

Asking myself

Why this sorrow at times my dear

When God has provided

A beautiful earth for you to live

I smile to myself

And walk and walk

Around the garden

Till my lungs are filled with

That life sustaining oxygen

So pure !

I take a u turn humming

My favourite melodies

And reach my home

With a happy heart !

ARISE

Arise brethren from your slumber

The bullets are heard from

Everywhere, the smoke up in the air

Suffocating all in the world

Arise, awake brethren !

Take a wow right now

You will not let this happen

In this world which is already

Turbulent

Arise, awake brethren !

Take up your pens and paper

Write down your thoughts

Get it across the world

To stop this shooting and killing

Arise, awake brethren !

There is no time to ponder

Or think time is up,  time is up

Let your ink splash with colours

Of peace and just get it across

Arise awake brethren !

Listen to the children crying of hunger

Rush to them with all you can

Cover them with your love and caress

It's time up for you to act

Arise, awake brethren listen to the call of the poor before it’s too late!
