Vicious Ripples of Life The Sun

Vicious Ripples of Life

SHIKHA BALI

I threw a pebble, As small as it could be. Thinking it would sink down, As deep as it could be. Though it formed ripples, Growing bigger, moving all over the sea. The pebble sank down and the ripples remained, Never gone from the sea. And it came back over, As ripples moved towards me. Deep scar of the hurt, Pebble had caused to the sea.

The Sun

SHIKHA BALI

Countless Suns reside in the sky, Million more are the Moons Borrowing light, pretentious to be suns Fade away, revealing the truth soon. More beautiful though they seem, Reflecting others, as the darker side seen. How long would they pretend! How many would they tempt! Hoarding other’s light Boasted for their highlights! The Sun, however, continues to shine. No matter one notices its glorious divine. It glows its own beauty, Ceaselessly burning inside. Tremendous heat it generates Enormous strength and patience reside To Enlighten the world To Glorify the day In its luminescence, nature blooms Its brightness beautifies many moons I bow to you, the worthy ones As intense it is, to be God-like Deep sorrow for the humanity fading As people glazes only the flashy sight. Clear the mind, look upto the real away Who never fades, shines more bright Because beauty arises within Not capturing from outside

Rise of the Divine

SHIKHA BALI

Even in the worst circumstances He could feel the subtler inside Thus, putting love first He kept the humanity alive Inhuman though, people treated him Considered insane and blamed for things not right He took all of it upon him And let all happily survive It’s when the worst took over him Couldn’t make anyone realize He even let them loose him Went forever with love for all inside The One among all Who always stood for the right The ones who never understood Called him the Divine
