ARTISAN OF WORDS


I am an artisan of words
Which I sculpt, chisel and fashion the way I can;
I am a creator of worlds;
I pour my emotion into the poems I write.
I breathe life into them, blow them skywards
And finish them only when they sound right.

These remnants of thought without reason
Will remain on pages season after season
Long after I'm gone; when my task is done
The love, the longing, the pain
Will be evoked then by somebody else
Who in turn will remember and write again
To create another slow soft song
That people can read and draw into their hearts
Then pillowed by words, cushioned by dreams
My poems will ride high the moonbeams.

Blissful Existence


BLISSFUL EXISTENCE :


What a wonderful world

This Existence has provided us with

But even to know it that way,

You will need the eyes and ears for it.

.

Where every day as the night ends,

The whole world comes to life

From the birds to all creatures

All become active and throbbing with life.

.

Where the sun everyday rises punctually

Without even a single holiday

Light and warmth that it provides with,

Gives comfort to everyone day after day.


Where a lot of different climates

Are there for us to experience

And for such variety of seasons,

Nature takes nothing, not even once

.

Where there is beautiful greenery

And flowers of all colour and shade

From the lotus to rose are different smells

And even colours like yellow and red.

.

Where every day the sunset creates

The most largest and natural canvas

Whose painter is really unknown but

Every other painter, he definitely does surpass.

.

Where an unknown musician creates music

Through the orchestra of a river or a bird

Which is of divine quality and the best

But to know this, it has to be heard.

.

Where every day the night falls,

And everything goes into a deep sleep,

It is a moment of complete rest

And eternal peace so profound and deep.
