THERE IS LIGHT UP THE HILLS

In the midst of our deepest emotions, we see the world which twists and swirls,

And suddenly, we feel uneasy, clumsy, mingled in desires, tangled into curls,

For, we are human, and, to be or not to be is the question in our confused minds,

And we yearn for joy, happiness, grin, mirth, fun, bliss, ecstasy and all its kinds,



Relationships! The word is in the air, and yet the world is an abode of self seeking souls,

Every being, good or bad, sweet or rude runs the affairs race for definite clear goals,

The world, sometimes seems to be ageing into an abyss of cornered silt from the quicksand,

But we must find the tiny beam of seamless radiance, to soothe our EGO stand,



We live in times of wonder, our lives guided by small moments of satisfaction,

And we need the long forgotten strength; we have lost to the GOLDEN distraction,

The relations in our lives bring us out of fear, focused with tinge of scrutiny,

My MOM, My DAD, My BRO, My SIS, My WIFE, My FRIENDS…all make up my destiny,



And the bubble is made of LOVE and CARE, blowing up and glowing up our days,

“Give me people around me to take care and shower concern”, every one prays,

The sum of all conveniences in the world, can’t be matched with the peace,

Derived out of a drop of CARE, shown by a graceful soul, who a RELATION is!



So let’s promise, let’s put the effort to be a social creature for that is what is PARADISE,

Let’s recognize the joy that surrounds us, that’s a TRUE RELATION in disguise,

And eat away our worries, that make a whirlpool in moments, which make up a LIFETIME,

And then blow the trumpet death and raise the toast to SATAN, with a resounding chime,



To be or not to be is the question in our confused minds, and keeps us swirling in shrills,

In the windmills of our minds, the RELATIONSHIPS we make are running into stills,

When the core of deep abyss, brings in the fiery blaze and burns out into the night that kills,

Remember! Friends, far across the dunes of darkness, THERE IS LIGHT UP THE HILLS!

The BEST LIE

Mind, the Silent Terrain, let’s see what all it says,

From the core of deep abyss, come some twinkling rays,

It’s my genre; it comes and goes, till I reach my pyre,

And for the Mind, lever of control, is my own desire,



It’s all about a shaggy old, who strikes you off your bike,

And you cheer him, and beg pardon, “it’s my fault alright!”

Its raining-raining all the day, your love is waiting all your way,

“Study Time, Reading Room”, off the mind goes, to brighten up, your one day,



Your little boy who’s getting it all, coz he stole the chocolate,

The mind jumps in, to ease the tiny soul, “I ate I ate I ate”

The mother, with teary eyes, who lost her son in a battle,

Your mind intervenes, “He’s alive, and he’ll come back and build you a castle”



Your heart broken friend, who was betrayed, gives in a deep sigh,

“He’s there for you forever” and the mind takes you up in the sky.

The tired father in the old age home, whose son forgot about him,

“Your son sent you this money!” and his eyes are blessed with grin,



Manifestation of the mind, is a deep rooted, heartfelt LIE,

It just comes and off it goes, why not give it a try,

Cheer up somebody, make them smile, never say DIE!

The closure, which sets things right, is the BEST LIE!
