A ripple of consciousness !

A tribute to all the small insignificant things in life that bring joy ! 

The elegant dance of flame in the gentle breeze

Swinging in the rhythm of life

A burning desire in the prison of lantern resembling life.

The chirping of birds returning their nests

A dried leaf floating in the random wind

without knowing its destiny or purpose

The light fragrance of the white jasmine 

So pure, so serene & happening n so effortlessly  

A withering petal, half brown & half pink

A log floating in the stream, going with the water

Seems like my destiny freely floating in the waves of life

The flickering of street light outside my window

the thunder & then the silence before the storm

the reminiscence of childhood

a feeling of childhood joy rescued from oblivion

never ending wait for the sheer bliss of living

waiting for the return of shot from the catapult of life

a careless walk in beige dried grass

an unwilling attempt to embrace the destiny

to live the life the way it comes      

has life lost its sheen ?

a green blade of grass shining in the sun,

a small bean trying putting its head out & get the first glimpse of the world.

A millipede with its numerous legs, crossing the street. 

An extinct sparrow returned with its chirp to wake me up.

Reminding me of the beautiful world out there

Apart from being just plugged into the wall

Taking a break from the normal windows desktop of landscape

and resting my eyes on the actual one from outside my window.

bringing a great sense of belonging with the nature deep within.

quintessence of living is long forgotten luxury  

an effortless attempt to understand the intangible universe

the line of ants passing by, with tiny bits of food in their mouth

storing for the harsh winter.  

a snail making up slowly, unaware of its speed

escaping into its shell, sensing any danger, pretending to be safe inside.  

a sea shell lying on the shore, a twisted spiral

A million sparkles reflected on ocean water by setting sun

A tendril hoping to coil around the stem.

A mushroom waiting to stretch itself from the moist log.

A honey bee, working hard as usual visiting various flowers,

Collecting honey from those millions of flowers,

Unaware of the probability of that it may be stolen.

Strange is the evolution which has imparted intelligence

the necessity of hexagonal honey comb  

Admist all these bizarre thoughts

A desperate wait for someone special never ends,

Wishing the centrifugal force of my desire be stronger

than the centripetal force of obligation

For once I would like to take a daring tangential leap

Breaking the circling around along the path set by life’s destiny

For once gathering courage to take a leap of faith,

to be free form regret of not attempting even once.

As a feeble photon travelling from a millions of light years

from unknown abyss of space & time hits the eye

mind rejoices in the realization that we are insignificant as a particle of dust.

A destiny reluctant to reveal more than one page at once.

A falling star seen across the sky

I don’t know what to wish for

I only wish to convey gratitude to the creator, sustainer & destroyer.

Stretched hands feeling the ocean breeze

Seemingly flying in the bliss of sight of horizon of water & sky

Glancing at the cloud passing by,

feeling the tender kiss of first rain drops on the cheek

The cold waves touching the feet

like arms of the sea trying to embrace me in it’s abode

as I let go off the notion of reality, the modern world around me

I feel as light as rain, as white as snow

To connect with the nature in its true form,

& rejoice in the very existence & wonderment about oneself

For I am the one of the nature’s most beautiful creations

I am just a ripple of consciousness of someone somewhere 

in the mysterious fabric of space & time

PS: This is not exactly a poem, or may be a poem in its nascent stage, raw, thought to post it same way, no refinement! just a collection of raw abstract bizarre thoughts ran across my mind when looked through my window !
