Dreaming high!?


                                                     (Pic from http://magpietales.blogspot.in/)


Deep muse, slow moves.

Rooted firmly, in mud divine
Lotus life, inspiration forever.


There is a way, it goes shooting up high
Its high up and I am in no mood
this is rooted cool cradle of mine.

Here I dream in flowers, yellow
entwined green, white, black memories
high up there is a world of identities
Its high up and I am in no mood.

Here it is wet mud, familiar vestige,
of yester  home, tinges of love gone
warmth of unassuming odd gifts,
strings of beliefs , sincere air,
that breathed life into mass, for soul.

Its high up, feel and fragrance lost,
in heights of victory, persona, grandeur
stench of  pretense, still lingering and
memories with ditched corners.

But this way it goes winding, up high
Slow, rough steps of acceptance
Rains of truths to take-in, hard.

High grandeur of stars, divine
Victory, loses no shine with time.

Vision clear, rooted firmly.

  1. But I was in mood for a poem like this. This was like thoughts pouring out. Click-clack, click-clack and there, it's written... a nice poem with meaning.

    Great to have read it. After getting my internet connection, this is the first poem I've read since morning.

  2. There is nowhere higher, is there. This is deep, filled with emotion, romantic, sad and yet, ends with hope.

    1. Nothing messy Brian.....its like the Lotus, it is from mud but nothing touches its divinity and dignity, the leaves don't even get wet. This one is an example for many things in Hindu books. We can have our divinity intact from any situation.....it is up-to us. And it is the mud that gives it the nourishment.....so.....thank you so much....

  11. 'rains of truth' ... I like those words. Reins of truth would have seemed harsh, hard. You chose soft, gentle.
