THE WEAVER

Early morning while darkness still prevails,

He collects the drapes to sell that he made,

At twilight returns home after a hard day,

In flickering lantern light, his looms to sway.

When the world sleeps he weaves dreams,

Breathing life into dead desires sweet,

Yards colourful raw cotton, wool or silk,

At the shopkeeper’s demand, seldom sleeps.

His gentle eyes creatively in spectacles,

Struggles with yarns of threads on his feet,

Entangled colours patterns enfold,

No time for leisure or escaping retreat.

Time falls short as he constantly works,

With changing trend competitions tough,

An ancient replica of artistic symmetry,

Beats modern change in pure chemistry.

THE POET

Wherever you go you carry a torch of light,

Like the sun you unleash optimism in others,

With power of love, everything is bright,

You pick up the best to bind them as brothers.

You lift spirits up and make people feel wonderful,

You create resplendent memories to be grateful,

You envision future of golden mornings beautiful,

You are the apollo and panacea for all ills soulful.

Creator of utopia without disparity and borders,

Felicitations you shower from graceful heart,

From tip of your pen magical Noah ark sails,

You mend solitary souls and bridge lonely pasts.

Your fraternal adoration crosses many shores,

With immaculate care of international accord,

In empathic mission with labour of love adores,

Docking in unison, the best you keep record.

Hands like the ocean brushing away harsh tides,

Brings smiles with a floral tribute fragrant,

A guide who paints to inspire overcoming strifes,

A blissful dawn for unknown artists vagrant.

A bohemian who conquers and captures dignity,

Drunk on knowledge with glamorous nobility,

Carves statues of words in illusive beauty,

A titan of the Earth traces immortality.

A unique philosopher and wisdom of a teacher,

Sharing achievements of others in international features,

A masterpiece of compassion humanly sublime,

A passionate healer who rejoices in poetic rhymes.

REGIONS BEYOND RELIGION

Embrace who you are and love like a fool,
Universal law of humanity is above all religious tool,
When you enter a garden all flowers belong to a region,
Diversity of plants, trees, shrubs, and grass unite without religion.
Music is a beautiful thing like a time machine,
A song, its lyrics, melody, mood can take you back in time,
It is like a family bonding of past, present and future,
Some high notes, some low notes but united together.
Poetry sparks and inflames one flame on Earth,
Binds whole world with magical rhymes of words,
All colours, creeds, race united seeking one path
Riding radiantly in every age pierces hearts.
In tough war zones of turbulent borders,
When foreign strangers lead you to light,
When help comes from unexpected corners,
No religion interferes in the realm of dark nights.
Art crosses all boundaries and borders of region,
Timeless and precious from beginning to end,
Line, shape, colours swing in melody beyond season,
A masterpiece is unique and a wonder across any management.
Science and technology discover new breakthroughs,
Make bridges across the globe to trace new avenues,
Humanity benefits in all glory and universal space,
Everyone has access and utilisation with equal grace.
New savvy world has united to communicate,
Great millennium mind’s dream can come true,
A place beyond religion of human division,
The sublime region of divine intervention.

RESPLENDENT REFLECTIONS

The world around you is a reflection,
A mirror showing the person you are,
Nature around you is God’s creation,
If you search beauty inside, it’s not far.
The grass if not greener here, it’s not there,
What you see in others, shows you to yourself,
See the best in others and you will be your best,
Give to others and you give to yourself.
God gave us the gift of life, which is simple,
We make it complicated by wanting ample,
Lots of expectations from ourselves and others,
Best thing is to hold on to one another.
Feel free to make mistakes and be humble,
Choose to live life and embrace with passion,
Love with your heart without fear to be broken,
Have some humour, some style and compassion.
The mission of life is not merely to survive,
But to allow ourselves freedom of living well,
Jump at every chance, be wild and thrive,
Possibilities that you see in others are for you as well.
Own a wishbone, a backbone and a funny bone,
Every moment should be enjoyed and savoured,
Don’t settle till you find why you were born,
Every life on this earth is gracefully favoured.
