I strive to be
like a Bo-Tree,
Dwelling so Deep
my Roots that Seek
water and nutrients from soil

Yet High I Rise
To be more Wise
by embracing
the nourishment
of Light!
This came to me when I was looking at the Pipal Tree in my garden. It has grown very tall in 8 years, and it's roots have spread far and deep.

This can be looked at from different perspectives:

1. To be strong and rooted to one's own principles, ethics and moral values. And building on them one should have a tendency to always learn something new, to attain wisdom.

2. To be strong believer of good age old teachings, traditional way of life that we are so accustomed to, that are passed on to us by our elders but also welcoming new changes and good reforms in the society.

Please feel free to reflect on your thoughts and express your perspective.
There are stories in your eyes.

I never told you how
sometimes I fell asleep
with the thought that you
were perhaps the moon-

always disappearing
with the dawn.
I would awake with
nothing
but the shape of you
on my bed and the
gloom of you on
my skin.

An eye for an eye that's how it start,
not knowing,still thinking their smart,
not knowing to what these actions will lead
the detriment of those so desperately in need.

Suddenly the revenge is no more,
it's no more about settling the score,
no, now it starts, the tip of the gun,
just for the sheer pleasure and the fun.

cutting and cutting, not seeing them bleed
day upon day giving in to your greed.
can you not see it's you they fear!
there's more than one meaning to the word,queer.

no knife sharper than a pen or the tongue
sadly there's no wisdom for those who are young.
it's to late when you realize and see
their silence and peculiarity was really a plea.

"What is there", you ask, for me to do?
"Nothing", I say, can describe my feelings to you.
What's done is done,
now it's for me to overcome.
