I DREAM OF A WORLD...

I dream of a world,
Where I can stay idle ,
Resting in the arms of mother nature ,
Looking beyond the busy world,
Who refuse to open their eyes
And look at the beauty of nature.

I dream of a world,
Where everything I do,
Would be right and
There is no worry about
Them going wrong ‘coz there is nothing to go wrong!
Where I can enjoy to my heart’s content……

I dream of a world,
Where there is only happiness,
And no sadness,
No loss , only gain,
No thought , no pain…

I dream of a world,
Where I do not have to choose
A path for everything
Let there be no worry , no care,
Just a single thought,
‘everything will be alright’

I dream of a world,
Full of pleasant surprises,
Valleys full of flowers,
Allowing the sun to pour
The warmth on them
Where I can go on gazing and gazing….

I dream of a world,
Where time can be stopped ,
But I can still enjoy the clouds,
Rolling in the sky,
Lying down on a grassy slope,
No thoughts in my mind…..

I dream of a world,
Where I can sit on a rock,
And watch the waves,
Licking my toes , retreating,
And advancing again,
Just meant for gazing and gazing…..

I dream of a world,
Where there are no tensions,
No stress , no care.
A place where we could just
Forget everything and gaze
At the beauty of nature,
Resting in its very arms….

I dream of a world
Where we could just let go
Of everything ‘coz you have
A place where there is only gain,
A place you could forget everything,
And take pleasure without guilt…..

I dream of a world,
Which I pray must
Come true one day , where
You could just let go….
Forget everything
Keep on gazing and gazing …
Just keep on gazing and gazing ,
With no thoughts in the mind,
And gradually get sucked into nature’s eternity….

Reverie

One graceful jump led me down the wall. I looked up to see the orange sky..then at the coconut tree. It looked beautiful. The sun was setting .. my heart melted away into it as I thought about my past years in the school…… above average marks… not many friends … the days when people were my ‘true’ friends , and gradually left me…. I thought why all that happened?...then I thought about my favorite subject…… animals.. about pups.. dogs..wildlife… etc etc. I remembered the first day when I came to this school etc…. i watched the beautiful sunset out of which I gained un-understandable happiness . then I thought about my favorite animals.. or rather birds… the eagles in the horizon. I heard my mom calling me, but I dint want to go .. iwanted to stay there long…. Yes, very long . maybe eternity!! But still, I tore my eyes from the beautiful scenery of breathtaking beauty …no artist could reproduce , no photo could capture !!

Hating my project even more every second… yes more than anything else in thwe world.. at this moment, I hated my project.
I ran down the stairs , slid over a few and jumped down the last five. It was a habit of mine ..to jump down the last five or six steps… but of course , not in school!! That’s the main reason I always wear pants.. to jump!
Anyway , reaching home, I went to the kitchen and had my ‘very late evening snack’ . after that , I had to do my homeworks. Later, I gathered the required information for the project and started working on it . I felt tired and setting the alarm to 3:00 am, vowed to myself not to miss the scene tomorrow- I slept.
I dreamt about the sunset… the most beautiful I ever saw- the alarm went off. My heart told me.. I had to wake up..c’mon…I woke up with a start.. the heart is more effective than the brain at times. I brushed, took a bath, prayed… started to study. I finished my project at 6.0 am. I rose from my desk and dressed quickly….wondering how the sunRISE would be??? Surely awesome…
It was still not light…I could go and see it..”surely yes”? icould not wake mom at any cost- I slowly opened the main door and padded up the stairs as fast as I could.. to the terrace…lest I missed the sunrise!! Might appear foolish but that’s the way sometimes anxiety works.
I remembered..suddenly.. the seminar ..oh! no! may be I just did not deserve the to see the sun rise or maybe it was the seminar papers that I carried with me which did not deserve!!
The sun slowly rose in its glory, gently like a wish coming up in the heart, its light an indefinable hue all and everything contained in it!
I rose up from the work on the seminar papers and looked with my heart and mind in my eyes- the sight….I beheld –a hundred lifetimes or more it will last… as a memory in the conscious whole of which I myself was a tiny part…
The seminar papers fluttered in my hand drawing me gently to more common things…but in one careless gesture I ignored their incessant rustle to absorb and be in that single moment of eternity…
My mom and dad came up looking for me…when they saw the sunrise their faces too lit up with some deep joy and we held hands…I was saved an inevitable scolding… we stood entranced..who knows how long….caught up in that rapture …it cost me only 3 marks for this …and I am glad that our lifetime was brought into one moment of togetherness.
