Loss.Change.Hope

Before I attempt to scribble here,awake so late at night on a fool's day I would like to jot down that at this point in life I'm a kid.
A kid because I don't know the flavor of my choice from the myriad ones on offer.I need to get the reins tight but I haven't identified my horse yet.And like a kid I'm simply awestruck by the world around and is almost set to experiment and experience it.
It might be too funny to see that me past my childhood is re-living it.Some changes that happen in life without our permission cause us to travel the most wonderful paths in life,perhaps very different, rather distinct. And it is a series of such events that has brought me unto a self that is all new to myself -a world out there in front of me and I'm like a kid going to start my journey.

Start on a treasure hunt
through a new labyrinth.
 I see bloom here and there
Sweet fragrances come my way
As I step in,I like it! I say
But my heart goes numb
A weakness effected when
 my head doubts to hope.

The fairies circle around me.
They sing and fly making wonderful patterns!
Look! I say to myself,
Often sets out to touch one,
Try to get hold of one,
And sometimes I dance to the tune of that beautiful song
I walk forward
And then the tune changes,the fairies now have different faces.
Oh, I say.See that!I say

And soon I forget the lost tune
Smiles at the changes
(Hasn't the smile broadened a bit?)
Walk along-singing,dancing
With hopes of reaching my treasure.

My fairies lead me to thee
Where my soul can enjoy peace
And love immortal shall bequeath me
in its bosom so tender and dear!
And there I rest in the shelter of thy arms
and connect the dots through my labyrinth
Recount and wonder the flowers and thorns
the butterflies and fragrances I saw and felt

And yes! Those faces...the fairies!

I cant find them now.
They disappeared without me knowing
To share my smile and drink some wine, I find none
But still I smile and  remember them,with grace.

Choice

"Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born."


The world we live in is magnificiently defined by the four coordinates,and perceived by our senses beautifully.What we perceive is what that becomes our world.In the limited time that we own the space-time within the identity assigned to us today(now would be most appropriate),we create, preserve and destroy.

Humans are best described as social animals.The scriptures consider human life to be the highest in the order of lives,the stage where a soul is in a position to reach nirvana or strive for it.Human karma is nothing but steps towards the attainment of the journey.

Relationships between humans are built on one emotion-love.It is love that nurtures the soul.Love from mother,father,teacher,sister,brother,beloved,friends and what not! 
In fact,for an individual the relations he keep determine the emotional strata he lives in.The good or bad that is nurtured within oneself choose to reflect outwards differently from person to person and this choice is made mostly by the habitat.And for humans rather than the inanimate that surround him,it's the fellow beings who are the game pullers.

Thus it is the people we choose to be with,people whom we talk to, whom we feel responsible to-that decides our world.Whatever be your endeavour,you need external stimuli and cooperation to make it fruitful. 
And most importantly make that important choice yourself-to get rid of the venoms-keep them away as far as possible so that they dont harm you in any possible way.

"A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart, and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words." 
So always make it a point to have such people in your life.How far away they might be,keep them at a hand's length and benefit your own being.
