Gone Too Soon -Jimi

A tribute to a soul that walked in faith, fought with grace, and loved without end.

My dear Jimi

You always knew the when and how,
Which prayer to whisper, which sacred vow.
You read the skies with faithful eyes,
And brought such peace when storms would rise.

A gentle soul, yet fierce and wise,
With love that never wore disguise.
A daughter’s pride, a sister’s grace,
A wife, a mother, heart’s embrace.

We dreamt of places yet to see,
Of lands to wander, you and me.
You spoke of skies and distant shore,
But heaven called you home before.

You fought with strength, so quietly deep,
And gave the world more than you’d keep.
A compass when I lost my way,
Your voice still guides me every day.

Too soon you left, yet still you stay,
In every light, in every way.
And though you are gone beyond my view,
Some goodbyes echo all life through.

I just wish I’d met you for a last time,
To feel your warmth, your soul, your shine.
But angels move beyond the grasp of time.

Forever loved.
Forever missed.
Forever you.

The Mushroom Brigade

The greens often lead me to dense woods,

To the wilds, that are  impenetrable and chaotic. 

Amongst the trees that appear haphazard to me,

Amongst the clouds that nearly look hypnotic

Today as I wandered once again in the morning

I witnessed an army going up a tree.

I questioned them inquisitively “Why can’t you be scattered?

Why are you disciplined even when absolutely free?”

“We don’t like to mess up this beautiful trunk”, they said.

It gives us support, nutrition and strength that we need.

Unlike humans who clutter the earth with utmost disrespect.

And tend to forget that she is not just the foundation but also the one who feeds.

As I Row On


Amalgamating with the environment and situations that happened to happen,
Tides of time propelled me up and down,
Ceaselessly the winds have caressed me throughout the voyage,,
Never did I ever feel adrift; in fact I have been a queen, always held my crown.

Yes, at times I have been surrounded by crowds, known or unknown,
When the waves were rough, I was abandoned too,
But moments of despair never existed,I must say,                       

IF YOU ARE IN QUEST OF LIFE, YOU ARE THE CAPTAIN AND YOU ARE THE CREW.

Fear of losing has never dispirited me,
Never have I ever lost the same battle again,
I choose to learn each time I stumble,
I guess no rainbows appear in the absence of rain.

Excuses, explanations and regrets, have never been a part of my itinerary,
Else the ride becomes arduous and upstream as one moves on,
Walking  through the circumstances has enriched me manyfold,
It’s my life,  so with my choices I love to adorn. !!.

The Winter Of Life

With the winter setting in, I realised, it’s the time to get into a cosier nest.

Within me though, there was a different thought, should I keep myself zealous as ever or should I rest?

The people who go into hibernation once they reach the winters of their lives,

Never know how the fish is alive under the frozen river water and how a little bird who migrates over vast lands, thrives..!!

As we season we should remember where the next minute would take us we are unaware.

Then why to miss even insignificant moments as we age, why to just give away our share.

Questions

Trapped behind the glass, she whispered in my ears,

Before they confined me to these walls, I experienced no fears.

Incredible used to be my days, nights were phenomenal too,

Now I long for nothing, I am just a thing to view.

Can you tell me something, what’s wrong with you folks on earth?

First you got into our territories and then you got us here, where no one has any worth.

In the vastness of sea I freely flourished on my terms and conditions,

The water used to empower me , I never had to bother about my positions.

Nature exists abundantly for all, you care for her or not,

At least don’t take us away from her, what’s wrong with you, exactly what?

Consciousness

Away from the crowd she thought she should go, for the peace seemed to dwell there.

Aloud laughed at her, the mind, as it exclaimed… “the control lies within you, right here. “

So she wound up her thoughts and decided not to leave, but to ceaselessly stay on,

At the end of the day, she comprehended , everywhere it’s the same dusk n same dawn.

Let me not pause at the past or envisage the future, she enduringly decided,

And by her own consciousness, on a marvellous journey she was then guided.

Eternal Guardian

I noticed him slowly fading away,

I am a fan of his dexterity to evolve.

Even though the planet seemed busy with the sun,

The moon would never cease to revolve.

He knows his absence would lead to very dark nights,

Hence like a father he is forever around,

We may or may not acknowledge his presence,

But when the vision gets obscure, he can always be found.

A Floral Perspective

Attired in their finest costumes

With their flower braided hair.

They tip toed their way to His beautiful idol,

But they knew, He was everywhere.

Life, A Sojourn

They used to be known for royalty,

These enigmatic waters would never cease..!

But the times have validated how transitory the phases are,

Now it’s only the rain that seems to fill these with ease.

Through my Window

I glanced out of my window and was amazed by at the mighty mountain,

How strong and high headed it appeared!

But when the humans chisel it through n through,

Even into a tunnel it gets teared.

The asynchronous rivers flow all over it,

Like creepers they twirl and swirl around.

The trees trying to find their way to stand erect,

Torrential winds passing through the valleys, making their own melody and sound.

So much to learn from you, I told him,

You epitomize the way to live.

How to stand tall with head held high,

When all you do is give!!
