In the shade of life
is the land of dreams
dreams full of love
where I met myself
along the bend of life.

And realised…
life is a gurgling stream
never at peace, never calm
never the same
always laughing at the
idiosyncrasies of man
and making a mockery
of man’s quest for life.

And then the stream
meets the ocean
we realise that
life isn’t always beautiful
it can be tempestuous too.

Like the ocean, it is
an amalgamation of all serenity
In life and eternity…

The dark hues of the ocean
make us realise that
we are alone
where even our shadows
leave their home
to remind us
that we are merely a part of god’s beautiful saga
straining to live life to our raga

God creates us but we make ourselves…
