Science is my inspiration for poetry,I cannot stop admiring the intricate patterns of the universe.A scientist or a poet both are driven by the sense of DISCOVERY. / / “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” / ― Albert Einstein
I try to reach to the top but every time i fail
Yet I try over and over again
because every climb brings me closer to my aim.
I wish to reach the summit- as do my fellow mates,
Some of them are strangers
but some of them I know
But in the end you have to climb all alone.
Every climb I learn something new,
Every climb breaks my spirit
but every climbs gets me closer
to The Dragon on the summit.
After countless tries I reach that peak yearned by all
and I see the white Dragon standing tall
The lustrous snow blinds my eyes
and I feel the cold winds blow
through clear blue skies
The dragon stares right into my eyes
and I see that this world is just a web of lies
All these falls and climb were just fiction
and my real self was far beyond the horizon
He shoots a wall of fire at me
that is the last thing I see
It burns my eyes
my heart
my thought
my soul
I am just ash.
Ash that cannot be burnt again,
Ash that flies in the skies,
Ash that flows with the rivers,
Ash that is free-
Forever

I stare at the stars through the murky skies,
like jewels shimmering at the bottom of an endless sea,
their treasures tempt me to take a dive
Their messages sail across the infinite ocean to reach their shores,
they carry the words of a forgotten lore-
the lore of gods, the lore of time,
the story which is yours and mine.
I want you to guide me to the mythical continent on the other side,
I know I can reach there on your cosmic tides.
I know that one day you will answer me and give me a call
because we know that even I am just stardust, after all.
