Asleep, Yet Awake



Every approaching night,
Unfurls the glory,
Of countless glitzing fireflies,
what blaze composes this marvel?
I wonder,
Do I too contain this radiance?
Do the ever barraging molecules within,
carry the flames of other-worldliness?
and I quietly immerse in the luminescence,
Of the bewitching fireflies,
Until I am awakened,
by the first morrow rays,
and I traverse back,
through the stars and endless galaxies,
where my form lay still,
asleep, 
yet awake........

© Shilpa Sandesh In the stillness Of the summer noon, A shrill startles these ears. The pain pierces through, Like a sword; The eyes are blurred with tears, Can the cry of a heart, Be so loud, she wonders! Then from nowhere,comes suddenly A faint ray of hope, Crystal clear droplets of happiness, And she opens her arms, To embrace the joy of love. She feels alive and smiles. And then comes a blow, The blow of reality, That scatters everything; She gathers the broken pieces, And puts them together, Only to find, Memories full of cracks, What's lost can never be regained, And pain becomes her new joys.

The Path Of Struggles

 © Shilpa Sandesh, Tramping through the woods that be, The path I stride on, Diverges ahead of me; A loud voice I hear, The first lane proclaimed, 'Come, saunter forth, I am the trail, Of happiness you dream' Louder promulgates the other byway, 'Come, tread onto me, I am the course of struggles, that He has set, in your destiny' I stood aghast, In a dilemma that be, Whether to relinquish And quit, Or to traipse on, And take my chances! My heart yelled, For a facile gaiety, Mind howled, 'Exultation lacking struggle, without any scrambles or stumbles, is ephemeral, it's cursory and fugitive' And so there was, no more predicament, No more muddling, And I chose to walk, On the path of struggles!

Wake up....Good Morrow To You!

(c) Shilpa Sandesh Wake up, Good morrow to you! For you're to me, The first ray of the morrow sun; For I wish to see you rub those drowsy eyes, And wake up from that soporific sleep; I know the night was long, Our frames were interlaced with each other, but not along; You appeared in my gorgeous specter, Even the rainbow smiled, spilling upon me its seven colours; The day be a special one, as you'd soon hold a fraction of me, The surface you would touch, bears my touch unseen, So wake up, From that sublime sleep, It's the moment for us to meet........
