Ray of Hope
Darkness lurks everywhere,
Mantle of disease Earth wears,
Cries of pain rising like flames,
Engulf manβs mind with bodies enflamed!
Yet, as one looks at another,
A hand reaches out:
Eyes filled with tenderness,
A ray of light pierces, to caress-
Soothing balm of Hope it spreads!

Look at the stars twinkle high,
Far away from this world
Filling the universe as they lie –
Benevolent, as I tossed and twirled!
Radiating peace, a glimmer of hope; My soul, restlessly swirled –
Cradled in the boughs,
That He spun a web gently unfurled!

Mirror mirror on the wall,
Till date you stand mighty tall;
Lording over empty space-
Men and women, full of grace!
An illusion you do share
Reflecting the truth bitter and bare!
Some joyous, beam with delight,
Some, shake frightfully with their might!
I placed a little red,
Then a little blue,
On my pencil a moment I did chew!
As I wondered what I next wanted to-
For the colors of Love
Drenched me from above
From my crown to teeny toe,
Joy, Love and Bliss seep into every pore!
Behind closed doors, lies a world
Not visible to you, me or any from the fold
Moments in private of love untold
Or passions unleashed as they unfold;
Sometimes we hear whispers like caresses,
Sometimes we hear sobbing and tears
From morning to night laughter n gurgles lurk
Waiting to pounce where tears strike!
As the night crawls
Oozing out of every crevice, every crack
They march out on their stomach or back
Of every shape and every mack
Golden, chestnut, brown, or black
Extending tentacles to explore every cranny every crack
Greedily guzzling every grain n sack
Till they come under Hitβs attack!
