ARISE AWAKE

I was running!! Running on the hot dry land, The hot dry land with sand burning my feet beneath, I walked on the sand to find my scattered dreams…. I kept running, Running in the icy cold snow, The icy cold land with snow trembling me to death, I skied deep into the snow to find my scattered dreams…. I kept running, Running towards the high tides of the sea, The salty water so deep to drown me, I dived deep into the water to find my scattered dreams…. After running so long, Not giving up so far, I am still confused, Where are my scattered dreams? I cried never so badly…. Suddenly! A voice came up…. Understand every time you were scattered.... Your dreams were scattered…. You stood for you!! You picked every broken part of yourself…. You created yourself back…. You are the one, you've been waiting for!! Gather up yourself!! Build the life you love!! Bead up the scattered dreams, It is you, who can change your

Standing at my balcony……. Every day early in the morning, Surveying the view, featured before me, Looking onto the sky and the upcoming day, Feeling hopeful, stepping into the light, I start my day!! While stepping into the light……. I Thank God for the fresh day, Day that brings a new set of opportunities to grow, Day that teaches to walk against the flow, Moving ahead and being unstoppable, I am the director, the sailor and the pilot of my way!! Stepping into the light…... I make my mind, To lead my day, Better than yesterday, With all my potentialities, And my skills…. I direct my efforts, To change my luck!! Stepping into the light…… That guides me, To pursue my dreams. I step fully into the light, With the sun shining so bright, For every atom in me, Letting me…… to celebrate myself!!

You colour the green or the ashes, You bring the dance or the fury, You display the sunrays or kick the storm. Your voice like thunder, resonates terror! Your anger rages the sea and brings high waves! A Hope that!! You rise with your mighty army. You make us feel, the set time is coming when you take your throne…… You are there or not? I am doubtful……… Whether you are the lighthouse or the storm!!

  I am at the beach, The beach of my aura and thoughts, I am surrounded with darkness as well as light. I am at the beach, I have the waves of darkness dashing on the rocks of my mind, I have the strength of light, Light to fight the darkness within me, Wanting me to dive deep for the pearls of fortune. I am at the beach, I am both sanctuary and tempest of my life, I am the wild wind and the serene sea! I can stand high guarding my life, I can shape the peace to be still. I am at the beach, I can be destructive or can be constructive! I have the authority to what I can be, I can sculpt myself! I am at the beach, I am both a lighthouse and a storm of the beach around me! I am the master of my brain, And lies within me is a choice to make my own destiny!

Oh! How I wish I could turn back time… Back in time, like a jovial new-born in mom’s arm, Back in time, like a smiling infant in dad’s lap. Oh! How I wish I could turn back time…. Back in time, crawling and being cuddled by mom, Back in time, wriggling and playing in the Army campus with dad. Oh! How I wish I could turn back time…. Back in time, walking by grasping mom’s hand, Back in time, visiting holy places with dad. Oh! How I wish I could turn back time…. Back in time, discovering concepts from mom, Back in time, hiking and jogging with dad. Life moved too fast…. Faster than I ever imagined…. I get up every morning, looking at the sun…. Praying for them…. Requesting the clouds to take care of them, Pleading the birds to send my regards to them. I go to bed, looking at the moon…. Thinking of them…. Asking the stars to shower good health on them, Seeking the night to make every second peaceful for them. I love them

We breath in a world…… Where the people are obsessed with lies; Obsessed with elegant bodies and a half smile; Obsessed with false notions in their eyes; No one obsessed with a gorgeous smile!!   We live in a world……. Where the people are obsessed with demons of ego and anger; Obsessed with so much of fake drama and a sneer; Obsessed with wickedness in their soul; No one obsessed with a generous heart!!   We exist in a world…… Where the people are obsessed with evil plans; Obsessed with so much of annihilation and honed claws; Obsessed to murder the happiness of others around; No one obsessed with purity of thoughts!!   Too fast, too soon…. Too quick…… to swoon!! I need to let this get straight, The truth trembling down to the marrow of the bone, As it’s the need of the hour!! We need to transform…… For the ‘Human Civil
