OF ANY USE???
I look at the sky
and see the fiery
ball
glowing, shining,
radiating
and flooding my view
with light.
I turn my head and
see the greenery around,
calming my mind and
filling my soul with peace.
A dragonfly whizzes
past me,
my attention it now
possesses.
A second here
fluttering, then a nanosecond of waiting
and in a flash at
another place there.
A shadow casts itself
on the ground
and I look up – a
magnificent cluster of clouds,
With the light of the
sun adding to their majesty.
Brilliant forms
emerging or rather outgrowing
with the playing
contrast of white and its darker partners
its beauty increased due
its romance with the sun.
A moment of stay with
its continous drifting
and with its bulky
form trying to veil its lover
and thus are born the
captivating and enrapturing fingers of God.
For no true love can
be hidden,
it’ll always and yes!
everytime bloom forth.
Hey! Wait a second!
The cloud changes its
form
and with time just
vanishes, passes on into nothingness.
the sun sets,
the green grass
withers
and the dragonfly
leaves no sign behind.
then I wonder- what
are clouds made up of!
But why do I need to
know that?
My thought jumps
around and it asks – What was the use of the cloud?
It’s frantic attitude
pounces on me – What good did it bring about?
And from the
stillness of my heart
a voice booms forth…JUST
BE !!!
I couldn’t understand
But it never asked me
to understand……
Then the realization
dawned on me
and my thoughts took
up their reins once again….
The clouds were not present
to be of any use
they were JUST TO BE !
the sun in its
celebration of ‘TO BE’ throws off light,
as a joyous explosion
of greeness, the grass sways in its ‘TO BE.’
and the dragonfly
dances to the tune of life, expressing the same.
Why is human life
brushed with sorrow?
Because of UTILITY…….
What am i? Who am i? Of
what use am i?
These masking
questions once settled….
And the different
clothing of faces removed,
We shall just be,
our presence here,
our life here
will be a dance with
utmost joy
as God expressed
himself ‘I am.’
