ALONENESS OR LONELINESS

Often it comes to my confused mind,
Where comfort and happiness I can find,
Am I the only one who is alone!?
Or loneliness is my only heavy stone,
What makes my heart so heavy, a weight!?
Can some one anyone apprise me to date!?

Why do I search for peace in crowded places!?
Why do I go to clubs and stages!?
Why can I not understand this simple thing!?
Can just any one tell me what happiness does bring!?
Some day I shall hope to find,
And know that in this world I am not alone,
Then I shall realise that in loneliness,
One can seek happiness and if ones' wise!.

I am not the bird flying aimlessly,
Nor an animal strolling away jovially,
I am myself a lonely but unique star,
A whole entity all by so many a standards
Aloneness is just a state of imagination,
Fellow citizens it is simply a fixation!.

WHERE IS MY LOVE

All around me I find deathly silence,
It at times is so killing and does me silence!.
Then suddenly I look around and become mad,
Where my dear where have you, it makes me sad!.

Often I ask where I should go in search,
As my loved one has left me in the lurch,
I suddenly wonder if I shall recover,
Before she comes and my solitariness discover!.
The when I think I've found my peace,
I realise none can my love fleece!.

Where, just let me know where love has gone,
And left me all alone this fine morn,
Tell me where I can go, look discover,
And find my dearest one recover!.

Have I really found my love, if so where,
Do I have to look for you in despair!?
Heaven knows my love I cannot live without you!.
Can someone tell me what is really love,
This is a common human inquiry,
Tell me love what makes you a living story!.




AM I STILL ALIVE


MY burning heart an igniting sole,
A piece of my burning soul,
A wandering soulless figure,
Seeking happiness, hither and thither,
Caught in the mangle called monument,
A deafening sound a silencing moment,
With helter and smelter here and there
Noise pollution and dirt everywhere,
How come I am still alive!?
Am I really alive or imagine my existence,
Well to live on I have to face all resistance!.

Yes I am still living!.

And it has an interesting history!.


Desiderata

Max Ehrmann

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence!.

As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons!.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story!.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit!.

If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself!.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans!.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time!.

Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery!.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism!.
Be yourself!. Especially do not feign affection!.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass!.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth!.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune!.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings!.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness!.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself!.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here!.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should!.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be!.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul!.


With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world!.
Be cheerful!. Strive to be happy!.
