Tears of Joy!

Today, she is standing at the top of a mountain and appreciating the majestic panoramic view of mesmerizing Himalaya. As a kid, she used to look up in the sky and wish for wings to fly up to the mountains. And now after a long wait of many years, she is standing here and living her dream. It’s the moment when she can’t believe her eyes because what she always dreamed of has come alive. She looks with amazement as if she’s witnessing a miracle. It is the moment of her life. She just wants to feel it. There are beautiful clouds below her and there are snow clad mountain peaks emerging from those clouds. The white peaks shining in blue sky among white clouds look like glittering diamonds to her. The view of the large lush green meadow surrounded by mountains under blue sky with a rainbow circling the horizon has put her in a state of tranquility. As the sun starts drowning in the horizon, the sky begins to boast his mystical colours. The beautiful mix of pink, orange and red looks like creating a twilight saga.  She opens her both arm and takes a deep breath to entwine with the nature. The glimmering rays of moon are paying tribute to her by kissing her warm cheeks and her eyes twinkle in bright moon light. She raises her face towards the moon and senses the flood of memories which she wants to unleash. The cool breeze lifts her ruffled hair and blows her skirt up. She closes her eyes and breathes deep as if she wants to let her know that she is finally here and then she opens her eyes and finds herself on the same wheelchair inside a room with an empty wall in front of her eye. Tears roll down from her eye but these are the tears of Joy because she is living her dreams today. The feelings come to her mind while waiting for her daughter who is coming back home today after her first expedition of a high range mountain. ~ AB

Life - full of wonders!

Let's get lost to a beautiful place,

Let's get away from this endless race

Life is a never ending struggle here,

I wish a place where sun is shining and skies are clear!

Let's get wet in the alluring rain,

Let's wash away all our pains,

Life is painful and messed up here,

I wish for a place where all this disappears!

Let's walk on the dewy green grass,

Let's make life's possibilities wider than vast,

Life is gray and constrained here,

I wish to feel the happiness that has become so rare!

Let's take a bath in the wavy sea,

Let's feel the water and be free,

Life is confined and insesitive here,

I wish to feel the love that has lost somewhere!

Let's climb to the snowy mountain,

Let's reach the place where there are elixirs' fountain,

Life isn't free and so dull here

I wish for a place where my soul I can bare

Let's build a house in lush meadow,

Let's feel the air on our skin and make our shadow

Life is a controlled and artificial here

I wish for a place where there is real atmosphere

Life is all about these small moments of joy,

Hold on to these and cheer to enjoy,

The water, the breeze, the mountain are all within your reach

Just open your arms and enjoy every mountain and beach! ~ AB & PJ

Wonders of Life

That Girl at Riverside!

I was overwhelmed by the beauty of “That girl at riverside”,
Elegance was the jewel; she was carrying all the time,
Logically strong, emotionally stable, ready to go a thousand miles,
Innocence, sweetness to be cherished in her beautiful eyes,
Little shy little deep, hiding a lot in her beautiful smile
Talking to her was the pleasure at riverside,
Walking with her was the reason to smile every time,
Clicking her was the motive to capture her for lifetime,
I was overwhelmed by the beauty of “That girl at riverside” ~AB

That girl at riverside

Endless bleed!

With silence acquiescence she rose to her feet,
She felt light headed, or was it heat?
She had no choice to say yes or no,
She is just like a boat, which has to row!

She is a servant, who has to follow,
Whatever she pretends to be, her heart is hollow,
She is broken inside, living her life in discreet.
Is there an end to her endless bleed?

Shall she drown or someone will guide her to shore?
Take her in or show her the door?
She waits for someone to make her sit on his heart’s throne
But in all those dreams, she finds herself alone… AB & PJ

Endless Bleed

Un(Complicated)!

And here i find myself again,
Caught by the swirl of mistaken identities,
While I think I know the truth, I expect some more clarity!
Thoughts swirl in my mind, as i drift off to sleep,
They come out from the corners of my brain where even i can’t see!

Trading my righteousness for the gluttonous life,
Where do I find happiness in that continuous strife,
I continue my journey in this stormy sea,
Never realized the whirling motion will capsize me!

Caught in the hurricane I see my reflection,
What has become of me, I have this question,
Is it the perception of my mind or just a rat race?
Should I change myself to old me or live in this disgrace?

UN(Complicated)

The soul of a traveler!

He doesn’t know where he is going..
He doesn’t know how long and tiring it will be..
He doesn’t know the path how to go..
He just wants to reach to the top and he keeps on going..
and when he reaches to the top, he doesn’t want to come back but he has to because he knows somewhere some other mountains are waiting for him….worth climbing all the way to the unknown destination ~AB

The soul of a traveler

The star wrapped in the skin of life!

She turns to the sunlight,

And lifts her face up,
She searches for the light,
The light of hope, the light to kill her darkness,
She is broken inside, has lost her hope to revive,
It’s all dark even in the brightest of sunlight,
She was living with the hurricane eyes all her life,
But today, the storm is hitting high,
Touching her face, blowing her mind,
Whispering into her subconscious mind,
And as the lamp comes to her sight,
She finds the real source of light,
Gathering all broken pieces to survive,
The light she was searching for has always been inside,
Because she has always been the star wrapped in the skin of life!! ~AB

Shades of light

The Lost Soul!

He always wishes to be a free spirit and fly like a bird over miles and miles but strangled by the fear of losing himself with the hustle and bustle of city life. This time, he decides to let himself free from every binding force on this universe and comes out. He wants to conquer all his fear and wants to get lost in nature because it’s where he belongs. He opens his both arm to entwine. He often wondered if that magical place really exists but today he is standing at that magical place which he always wants to see. And today, he has found his lost soul!
