A view just before sunrise Resembles like a sunset But the difference is vast As it is fills with a hope of rays A view just before sunrise Is well felt deep inside When it starts to gleam With its sun rays A view just before sunrise Is a blooming sun of rays Which fill with bright lights And make beautiful sights A view just before sunrise Is a view of hopes Excited in full of vibes With its vibrant colours A view just before sunrise Is a one more chance Given to know the worth of lives To live with full of senses A view just before sunrise Is to be grateful to God’s grace To be a part of living miracles Especially in this competitive eras A view just before sunrise Is enjoyed well when it rises And when it rise to its bests It seems as smiling at us A view just before sunrise Is a smiley face of sun As of a blooming sunflower’s With its joyful pleasures A view just before sunrise Is the waiting periods To see the rising queen Reflecting as golden eyes A view just before sunrise Is hope of new days In its blessed paces For every faces A view just before sunrise Helps to plan in advance To utilise the opportunities With its best ways A view just before sunrise May bless us to rise With its immense cheers So all can have its leisures A view just before sunrise Is the stipulated time frames To harvest the best nuts From the life’s tests A view just before sunrise Is to raise yourselves To shine as jewel stones As a sun in yourselves A view just before sunrise Is to enjoy the glory of living vibes To make best diamond from coals So that it lustre in darks A view just before sunrise In nutshell, is a glorious shine As a diamond kept in caves To brighten the path of ways

VIEW JUST BEFORE SUNRISE
A view just before sunrise Resembles like a sunset But the difference is vast As it is fills with a hope of rays A view just before sunrise Is well felt deep inside When it starts to gleam With its sun rays A view just before sunrise Is a blooming sun of rays Which fill with bright lights And make beautiful sights A view just before sunrise Is a view of hopes Excited in full of vibes With its vibrant colours A view just before sunrise Is a one more chance Given to know the worth of lives To live with full of senses A view just before sunrise Is to be grateful to God’s grace To be a part of living miracles Especially in this competitive eras A view just before sunrise Is enjoyed well when it rises And when it rise to its bests It seems as smiling at us A view just before sunrise Is a smiley face of sun As of a blooming sunflower’s With its joyful pleasures A view just before sunrise Is the waiting periods To see the rising queen Reflecting as golden eyes A view just before sunrise Is hope of new days In its blessed paces For every faces A view just before sunrise Helps to plan in advance To utilise the opportunities With its best ways A view just before sunrise May bless us to rise With its immense cheers So all can have its leisures A view just before sunrise Is the stipulated time frames To harvest the best nuts From the life’s tests A view just before sunrise Is to raise yourselves To shine as jewel stones As a sun in yourselves A view just before sunrise Is to enjoy the glory of living vibes To make best diamond from coals So that it lustre in darks A view just before sunrise In nutshell, is a glorious shine As a diamond kept in caves To brighten the path of ways

The outside world is a fast changing place Plans made in the present will leave their mark and presence in the future As of now in the present everything seems fine and better. Time and tide waits for no one Make a plan in the present and work it out successfully Even after the successful execution there will always remain an odd that will come along the way. Every plan made in the present will have it’s presence felt in the future even after an execution in the present. Prepare for the future when time in the present permits to do the same Let the present built on it’s own In doing so, keep in mind the uncertainty about the future A moment in time will come when the future will look certain Important will be that moment in time then, since present moment in time will be ripen enough to execute the necessary line of action. When something is going on in the mind, something certain, definitely something needs to be worked up and worked upon to ascertain that something certain. Plans are always be made, since to plan something becomes need of the hour Important is to execute the plan successfully This is when expertise and experience comes into application. Within a stipulated period of time everything needs to fall in it’s proper place to see what are the results that one gets when a plan was made initially. Definitely planning is important, however, equally important is successful execution of that planning. Hence it’s important to remember, every plan that is made in the present will always leave it’s mark and presence in the future. Important will be then at that moment in time to act accordingly The other way round, important will be then to make the next plan keeping in mind again the future.

Important to be convinced before conceiving something new Time has always remained important. Important is the present moment in time; important is the available time, important because everything needs to be done within a stipulated time frame. Every now and then there is always something to think of, something new to think upon. Every now and then there is something that goes on in the mind, something different comes across the mind. Important is that something that goes on in the mind Important because it connects the past, present and also the future Important is that moment in time when something concrete gets figured out in the mind with regards to the future. Facts never need any conviction, so does truth, both of which never require any conviction. Thoughts keep coming and going one after another Positive attitude, positive mindset is what makes all the difference. Think of past and present along the line of all that is going on in the mind keeping in mind an uncertain future. The past will remain a thing of past while the future will get ascertained. In any case, at any point of time and at any stage, it’s always important to have a conviction of own with regards to what needs to be done. A convinced mind always knows the kind of efforts that are required and also puts in the same A convinced mind knows the exact direction in which to move with regards to an aim that has been set, so as to refrain from all the negative thoughts and negative way of thinking. Having a conviction of own makes all the difference, a convinced mind can solve, resolve and settle everything and all that comes along it’s way, if not by the way of it's thinking, then by putting in the much needed extra effort, which can also be the need of the hour. So always have a conviction of own and then step ahead.

YES, the Dead speak to us. This town belongs to the Dead, to the Dead and to the Wilderness. Back of the clamps on a fireproof door they hold the papers of the Dead in a house here And when two living men fall out, when one says the Dead spoke a Yes, and the other says the Dead spoke a No, they go then together to this house. They loosen the clamps and haul at the hasps and try their keys and curse at the locks and the combination numbers. For the teeth of the rats are barred and the tongues of the moths are outlawed and the sun and the air of wind is not wanted. They open a box where a sheet of paper shivers, in a dusty corner shivers with the dry inkdrops of the Dead, the signed names. Here the ink testifies, here we find the say-so, here we learn the layout, now we know where the cities and farms belong. Dead white men and dead red men tested each other with shot and knives: they twisted each others' necks: land was yours if you took and kept it. How are the heads the rain seeps in, the rain-washed knuckles in sod and gumbo? Where the sheets of paper shiver, Back of the hasps and handles, Back of the fireproof clamps, They read what the fingers scribbled, who the land belongs to now-it is herein provided, it is hereby stipulated-the land and all appurtenances thereto and all deposits of oil and gold and coal and silver, and all pockets and repositories of gravel and diamonds, dung and permanganese, and all clover and bumblebees, all bluegrass, johnny-jump-ups, grassroots, springs of running water or rivers or lakes or high spreading trees or hazel bushes or sumach or thorn-apple branches or high in the air the bird nest with spotted blue eggs shaken in the roaming wind of the treetops- So it is scrawled here, "I direct and devise So and so and such and such," And this is the last word. There is nothing more to it. In a shanty out in the Wilderness, ghosts of to-morrow sit, waiting to come and go, to do their job. They will go into the house of the Dead and take the shivering sheets of paper and make a bonfire and dance a deadman's dance over the hissing crisp. In a slang their own the dancers out of the Wilderness will write a paper for the living to read and sign: The dead need peace, the dead need sleep, let the dead have peace and sleep, let the papers of the Dead who fix the lives of the Living, let them be a hissing crisp and ashes, let the young men and the young women forever understand we are through and no longer take the say-so of the Dead; Let the dead have honor from us with our thoughts of them and our thoughts of land and all appurtenances thereto and all deposits of oil and gold and coal and silver, and all pockets and repositories of gravel and diamonds, dung and permanganese, and all clover and bumblebees, all bluegrass, johnny-jump-ups, grassroots, springs of running water or rivers or lakes or high spreading trees or hazel bushes or sumach or thornapple branches or high in the air the bird nest with spotted blue eggs shaken in the roaming wind of the treetops.

Poor reaction: Stipulated by thumbs and notions to excel Steadied eyes, that keep aims harboring sense? Of quiet, that looked hard for us, to wish in hell... Left, do we remember a tears cause? With the language of frozen thoughts? Many and metered loyalty's, laws? That took the obvious to oblivion, for what mocks? Pyres or piety The tale I tell, is for the coming and the done ****** to rights, the toil we adjust, we show anxiety... Is a legend in its own right, risen from the curse, we own Liberty, is an expensive friend, come to tell us a fortune Of dignity and callous vice, to share a kept dream of avarice's fit And final lip of sincerity, that knows where you have been Acted upon like a thief in the sight, of another, and in whit: We are that we are... The poise of destiny to a frightful mind, that keeps charisma Like a treasure of deliberate calm, when we know passion afar And ready to strike, nothing but a conversation that is a proven same, somehow sad... But hating the very roots of opinion, for an art? Of redoubt in the temptation of cope, to witness a shyness Forth a remaining tooth of drama and lowly starts Of nothing at all, but the richness of causes, we have seen come to bless...

When Innocence Winces, Justices Begin
Decide about the present in the present moment of time Decide all that is present in the present moment of time. Experience proves to be an asset when expectations are raised Now is the moment in time when something substantial needs to be achieved within a stipulated period of time. Substantial efforts need to be made when expectations from prior need to be surpassed Hence priority comes first, better to do one thing at a time. Decide doing one thing at a time Be firm in your mind about the same, then proceed towards doing the same. All the time there is some sort of a thing that always goes on in the mind Ascertaining the future in the present Think of the past in the present The mind does everything, everything related to past, present and also with regards to the future. It’s important to decide upon something definite before taking the first step towards doing the same. Better decide first and be sure about the same No point in deciding later with regards to what you want to do, since time has always remained important. When you decide upon doing something in advance, it’s planning. When you decide upon doing something at the spur of moment, then it’s because of an experience that you have on your side. In any case it’s always better to decide first and then proceed towards doing what has been decided. Crucial moments are part of everyone’s life, if not a part of everyday life, however, in the end these crucial moments enrich the experience of an individual. So it’s always better to be a part of the game, always participate, learn from your own mistakes rather than doing the same routine thing daily, the same mundane thing over and over again. Better decide first, be firm on the same and then proceed towards doing the same. Definitely a moment in time will come when you will know exactly what needs to be done in order to achieve your aim.

The history...
Some things that sometimes happen in life are some of those things that are waiting to happen, however when they happen, as and when, whenever they happen, change the course of each and everything along with the present moment in time. Better be a part of the present moment in time, move ahead along with the same in mind. Much better when rest of the things going on in heart are put at the back of mind while moving ahead along with the present moment in time. Situation can be differ, changing from one moment to next, however, odd will remain the same unless and until, if not handled or even tackled properly. So be wise, remember all you have got is the present moment in time Better act now rather than depending on an uncertain future Emotions can be trusted upon when used in the right spirit, in the right way, instead of depending on the same in the form of giving an excuse. Better to be a part of the present moment in time Better to concentrate on the odd that is there along the line of what is going on in the present, however in doing so also remember everything needs to be defined with regards to an uncertain future. Action speaks louder than words also because even when words have got meaning and substance still they can fall on deaf ears, which in turn can ruin everything. So be what you are Do what you want In doing so always remember you, yourself are responsible for everything that is being getting done along the present moment in time. Trust when proved to be of use can definitely strengthen the process of getting things done within a stipulated period of time Trust can definitely built bridges between two ends that are away and apart from each other Confidence and faith can serve as the base of the pillars, which will hold the two ends of the bridges together, however even then never forget that odds will still come along the way. So be what you are Do what you want In doing so always remember you, yourself are responsible for everything that is being getting done along the present moment in time Definitely along with time comes experience, since experience is achieved over a period of time and then it comes to mind, undoubtedly action speaks louder than words. Definitely two ways about the same that action speaks louder than words.

Have Hope
A sunrise beckoned me In contrast, to flee An invitation earnestly endorsed for lengthened had I lingered a bona fide friend lucidity it had painted and a landscape captivating Drop by drop, had I rendered sightless Bestowed with priceless emotions deluged you, with intentions distilled, truly were for you did capture them at the rise The once limpid scenery, opaque, visionised today the yellow smudged a sunset to betide A panic swelled within, a grave slip-up implemented for I strived to ameliorate it Albiet, Versimilitude solicited distance I failed to proffer you with, as the intent, stainless and a heart devout remorse, shall lie etched for the landscape entailed not remedy though, the desire for your understanding was all I stipulated

From sunrise to sunset
One day as I was meditating 'neath the sunshine bright and fair; I beheld an expansive highway, whose passage led to I knew not where. A great number of souls; each with a different destination. I watched them from a distance, with eyes of trepidation. Nothing could stop them from venturing down the thoroughfare: Of perplexity and enigma; I could only sit and stare. The signs and markings tried to show and tell where each one was bound; not knowing the minds of those arbitral travelers - worthy advice could not be found. Only a roadmap would help to guide them, if they knew not where they were. A guide that only claimed to know would surely confuse and obscure. I wondered which collection, or source of information, the people would cite. How would they know just which road was right? And could they truly trust their own headlamps in the darkness of night? Further observation revealed just what I suspected: The mob was on a fixed and stipulated course; they would scarcely turn around, and would not care to be corrected. What might cause a multitude to behave in such a way? What caused this scene of deception that my senses did betray? The sight that lay before me was an undeniable fact: A highway of free will and choices, brought about by just one act. Up ahead in the distance, there arose a statuesque hill. On it's mount were three wooden crosses, standing somberly and still. They seemed to dare those passing by to glance up and chance a look. The message that the crosses bore told more than could be written in any book. What significance would this symbol have on those rushing by? Would the people see beyond its uncomeliness, would they even try? Or would they consciously or otherwise its meaning deny? Though the emblem would be viewed and interpreted adversely, it would still provide living water to those that were thirsty. The middle cross would serve as a reminder and a promise to all; a door to someone's heart, where through God could call.
