Marching Millions
Withering of hearts and ruined minds ,
moment's notice and a despondent life ,
future at stake unclear, unclean,
harsh is nature's fury scene.
emanating from unprecedented zones .
Incessant memories of how life is being unkind .
Am I paying a hefty price for my deeds ?

Fragile life compelled to choose a course,
hopelessly looked for rainbows between the blows,
Uncertain and unfair fate awaited .
playing a tug of war life game,
Compromise to get what neither wanted,
win or lose will mean the same.

Doomsday for certain arrived,
shattered the illusion of millions and forced them onto their feet.
shuddering and frightened they took the dreaded path ,
in hope of meeting their kith and kin,
making it look more like a sin.
with no penny , no food ,nothing looking any good,
the shrill ,the yell,
in deep pain every heart will swell.
Yet every obstacle they tried to pass, ferric trails leading them to their final destination,
this but a meagre solution .

Long hours,rough terrains, unmapped,zapped they simply marched.
Unseen powerful blows and many a lives rip apart,
tear wrapped as they parched .

Destiny choose to be aloof,
they scattered throughout for food and roof.
Alas ! Hunger turned the human a wayfarer and costed a soul.
Life turned upside down,
from laughter to distress ,
spreading havoc and creating mess.
future now bleek , steering into a deep sleep.

Speechless I am and will forever be,
Life's burden is taken away
but by death alone !
A journey into the unknown.

© M.D.Nimbalkar.
"Marching Millions" the tittle of the poem is sourced from the blog by eminent Indian writer Shobha de published in the Times of India newspaper recently..The content of the blog is the inspiration for the poetic version .

Feelings in these unique times are vulnerable to horrific events , one such of course is the case of Migrant workers all over India.
The Migrant workers crisis is definitely one of the worst sena
rios in the COVID 19 pandemic and underlines the poor state of affairs in managing the same .
Pray that their next life is blessed and cushioned away from life's harsh assaults.
This one goes as a tribute to many a migrant workers lives lost in their journeys back home .

Gaze of the moon
Beneath the silent gaze of the moon they meet at a distance apart,
Now bathed in the luminescent glow of the moon rhythmic beats doing the talking of the hearts.

The silver speckle leaves it's shimmery mark,
the power of silence extends far beyond the night sky,
whispering the secrets and revealing the truth.
All feelings surpassed,
Love cannot be hidden !

The moon now a silent witness to the tales of love,
conceals the beating of hearts in the darkness of the night .

In the symphony of tranquility,
Dangling along the invisible track of time,
Assuring to be there forever,
sometimes the moon is all they have !

EXIGENCY TO KNOW
Your heart is made of rock and so it seems ,
Even when I pester you, your face puts up smiles and light beams .
How do you manage to hold up so much of love ?
Where is the strength coming from to beat negativity?
A rock solid self you deploy,
I Truly need to know how and why ?

PAPILLONS
In the open as I walk , upon the pastures green ,
Paused ! I daze by the transmute of hues that delightfully glean.

A kaleidoscope of fluttering beauties , complete the bewitching frame.
Happiness is pretty simple to obtain ,
Stare ! my friend at the butterflies and you shall utter the same !

MERLOT
In a state of bewitching trance ,
Into the Merlot vineyards of France pleasentries they did exchange but with a mind to take revenge .
They made a pact ,
and freezed their enemity intact.

Had they known love before ,
Relationships wouldn't be soar.
With all angast swords clinked ,
Deceived by their own ,
Neither hope ,neither love would  ever be known .
Blood shed and hatred was sown,
No one would everlast by keeping grudges of the past .
With all opportunities they could avail ,  
Hate alone is what would prevail .

A mystical voice intervened , and a change of heart it did create, a tornado of love from divine turned a bleak ray of hope and friendship interwined.
Love is what made foes turn to friends and happiness blossom.
Everything suddenly was remarkably awesome .

Now we know from ages ago, the one thing that is always constant is only love in every instance .
Hate gets one into a vicious cycle , pure love is the only solace and miracle .
Why were you born as a human face ?
Carry on the legacy of love in every human race .

This one is inspired after watching the Hollywood movie "FROZEN"... Inspiration leads to creativity I believe...

SHADES OF GREY
Her heart was made of roses bled red all the way

It chased a soul made of thorns through night and day

That's how she turned the love spectrum into shades of grey .

TREASURE TROVE
Sparkling pearls rolling down like a stream ,
beyond happiness is pain extreme ,
miseries are a part and parcel through ages ,
pain is the daily wages ,
Vicious cycle of life ,
If  there is no pain then envisage no gain ,
can't let go of the pain , treasuring it over and over again and again !

© Mrunalini.D.Nimbalkar
Pain and suffering is part of human life. As much as people try to avoid pain, the reality is that there can be no gain without pain.
Treasure pain to understand the value of life ...but cautious enough to return back a winner from the learning process...

SHANGRI-LA
On the resilient Earth I flutter
today , tomorrow and day after.
Each day brings me closer to my zion , the love of being in peace within my sion.

Familiar surrounding and smiling faces, supramundane existence and the hope of being.
Cleansed soul and mind, every heart so kind .
Actions never judged and reactions never grudged .

The first rays of the sun gleam and every moonlight transcends into a sweet dream .
My whistles loud and clear, living in no fear , coarse yet pure !
Each day in and day out with super energy I scout .
Cheerfulness and laughter I tout.

© Mrunalini.D.Nimbalkar
This particular poem is an outcome of a small video I viewed where the people speak the language of the birds !

Trevia:-

The title of this poem is SHANGRI-LA which is an imaginary, beautiful place, often far away, where everything is pleasant and you can get everything you want.
Turkish bird language (Turkish: kuş dili) is a version of the Turkish language communicated through high-pitch whistles and melodies. Originally used by Turkish farmers to communicate over large distances and now down to 10,000 speakers, it is at risk of extinction as mobile phones replace this purpose. The language is associated with Kuşköy, a village in Turkey's northern Pontic Mountains. UNESCO included the bird language in its 2017 list of intangible assets.Other countries with whistling languages include the Canary Islands, Greece, Mexico, and Mozambique.
It simply inspired me to dream of this place as a utopia ! very raw, eternal and positive hence the poetic expression of the same thought process .
Thanks for reading.

ASSORTED PLATTER
Eagerness of going the extra miles ,
Happiness of seeing all

Wearing the perseverance crown ,
Credence acquired through many a up's and down's.

Joy of being a go-gether , on the journey for the better.

My assorted platter is like a dewdrop on the silken rose petal .

Reminiscent of the burgeon that says don't stop till you reach your finest mettle.

PHLOX
The sun drenched darlings of every garden ,
gathered bright eyed ,
Gay and tinted as village lasses in their gingham gowns ,
spraying lovely brightness and flair in the red roofed cottaged towns.

Phloxes carry the garden through the dog days of summer ,
holding down the fort
until the asters and blazing stars come on board .
Such dainty and colourful picture the nature can paint ,
A keepsake, serene album so quaint !

Dandelion
In the search for the perfect life just like the winds that blow ,
a dandelion doesn't stop to grow ,
only because it's a **** !
In a crowd of beauties it is a confident seed.
It doesn't care what others feel and see,
It says "one day they will be making wishes upon me" .
With a fantom of hope there's a lot that a dandelion can do .
Knowing there's no quits or adieu.

You are so much more than what meets the eyes ,
Life is all about taking the reigns in your own hands ,
Cease to underestimate the power of you .
worry is the misuse of your imagination,
  forget not ; the tinest atom is the start for a huge creation .

A dandelion reveals, even the smallest seed can grow into something amazing.
You too are a miracle in the making !
Just relax you wonderful thing and celebrate by rising and living .

MEMORY
Memories are a blur of hues,
sounds and smells,
a picture only you can decipher.

Each one making you or breaking you ,
Each one teaching you to be stronger,
Each one painted with strokes of strong innate ability.
Each one raising hope's and possibility.

Of course! deeply etched into the core of the heart ,
Only the surreal piece of art- work into each mind's frame work.
What remains ?
a chemistry or mystery ,
But a memory for eternity !

SUMMER
Sunny beams play hide and seek ,
Pearls of dewdrops on the faces gleam and the Icy cold cream quenches the thirst with sweetness galore ,
The aestheval month's are here for exciting days and more .

Children on the playgrounds, whisking around on merry go rounds .
Balmy weather and the sky in shades of burgundy ,
Saying cheers to sweet candy.

Oh ! The sight of fragrant flowers and the bright lillies , Sunflowers chuckling to the Clement rays silly !
Warm breeze over the meadows,
Resting under the jacaranda tree's shadows.

Hiking in the hills,
riding cycles for thrills playing with the colourful fresbies ,
gushing in the water's cool, over the beaches and in the pool .
The summer season is all about fun,without a reason .

Soulful Nature
Standing on the pier,
seeing the sunrise,
the stillness in the waters,
the depth and the vastness,
transporting me to profound calmness.
When shaken with daily mundane and powerful thoughts,
the kiss of the subtle raindrops making me aware of my existence,
Nature teaches you to raise above the notch
Soothing the soul's wandering thoughts ,
I see myself repeating the process and then life goes on .

Nature has a magical touch, healing you with its beautiful art.
feeling the process ,being in oneness.
against the journey of multifaceted, painted minds, fluorescent lights and calender arts, sits me with a wandering heart .
As the depth of the day turns into a dark slumber,
counting minutes as if it was only the number,
then there gleams a reflection of the moon,
Yet again painting pretty pictures into the heart,
raising the hopes, not everything is lost.
Nature's gift is free of cost.

Not differing with who's who,
allowing to absorb everything old and new,
No questions asked,
rejuvenating and renewing energy, invoking hopes as I move through the woods,
long before I am lost.
nature trails leading to pasteurs green, absorbing the beauty of distant hills,
freeing the fears and embarking on newer thrills,
nature teaches life skills.
finding myself to grow and branch out from within ,
The soulful nature plays the mindful guide you are seeking .

The sun stands guard all day , shining and bright .
When night lanterns glow softly in the darkness of the sky ,
The moon gleams for you all night .

A journey of illumination through a roller coaster culmination.

A short road to traverse between birth and death .

POWER
What we seek the most is silence and solitude ,
Yet what we create is noise and attitude.
What we yearn is happiness and peace,
Yet what we have is hate issues and anger release.

Why are we here and what is there to keep ?
What we will sow , so shall we reap .
Why do we want our future to weep ?
Let love awaken and hate forever sleep.
Pray ! Let us find our purpose, for we must walk on the path laid by God .
Only to return as a victorious squad .
