It is so wonderful
to see the light
through the clouds
of storm.
In the chaos
of what to do,
to see a ray
of hope.
It is so wonderful.
What is that
I want to do,
is what I
have been asking.
What is that
which makes sense to me,
is what I
have been asking.
It is so wonderful
to get
the answer
in the mid of a night.
But not by a flash
or a thunder cloud
muttering the answer
from heaven unknown.
I saw it happen
every day
inside me
and outside.
It is so wonderful.
Was it writing
poem and prose?
Or was it writing
fundoo code?
Was it marrying
my Price Charm?
Or was it traveling
through the greens?
Was it sitting
in silence?
Or was it dancing
in the joy?
The answer
lied
far beneath
in my heart.
In the tears
that i shed
seeing the children
toil hard
every day
to earn the butter
and the bread.
Facing a world
so selfish
so ignorant
full of abuses
and stares,
right from
the womb
of a mother
either unfortunate
or dead.
It is so wonderful
to know
what makes sense
to me.
How I know
I don't know
but now I know
is what I know.

Cave on a Cliff
There was a cliff standing high on the shore of a vast ocean. Waves would come hit it and go back. Soon new waves would come hit it and go back. But the cliff was rock solid. Years passed on and cliff remained there. Non stop hitting of waves created a a small cave in the cliff. Cave started widening over years. Hundred years passed and it became a wide comfortable cave.
This cave was half submerged in water. Small fishes would come in hoards and rest here for a while, play for a while, eat the little growth of phytoplankton on its edge. Cave watched its visitors and the sun which would come up everyday and go down making the waters orange and red from blue. It watched the clouds pouring water some days and the thundering. Sometimes it would watch the bigger fishes coming in and eating the smaller ones. Now even bigger fishes could enter the cave as the cave was widening. Thousands of years passed and cave was much wider than it originally was.
As the years passed, Cave started deepening slowly. And as it became deeper, it became darker with time. It started being so dark inside. A different form of life started flourishing inside. Little fishes were no more interested in going inside cave, in fact they were frightened to go inside. Another thousand years passed and soon this cave inhabited only the dead plant and animal life. Nothing living. With years cave became sadder.
One day cave give a little thought to this phenomenon. What is happening to me. Every hundred years I become darker than before. This is sad :(. And after another thousand years I will become even darker :( :( ... Wait! After thousand years I will become much darker than how I am right now. I am seeing much more light now than I would be seeing thousand years later. When I can clearly see it is going to become worse tomorrow, why not enjoy this better today? Hey! I am so wonderful right now! Wow!
And another thousand years passed and the dead plant and animals started rotting further burying themselves into sediments to form fossil fuel of the future. Cave was observing all this, but with a smile.
[Like caves get darker with time, our hair line recedes a bit. I observed that after every 5 years my hair are much thinner than before but definitely they are definitely thicker than how they will be 5 years later :)]
