In the clouds there lies a castle

In the clouds
There lies a castle
Fluffy and white

With the roof of blue sky
It floats in air
Grand and light

There are rooms
in plenty
All airy and bright

The balcony extends
Over where the moon waits
Oh what a sight

You can eat as much you want
And whatever you wish
Till you satisfy your appetite

You need no booking
It’s always available
Any day, every night

Take the flight of fantasy
And as you cross the fence of reason
Your destination would be on your right

All those who believe, can check in
And for those who nurse a doubt
Unfortunately can’t board the flight

Why wait then, let’s go now
Close your eyes
Have a great flight

Through your windows of imagination
Lookout for the castle in the clouds
That’s Fluffy and white

The rock splits the river

The eternal flow

The rock splits
the river in two
Why did you do that?
The rock was asked
I am big and strong it replied
That is why!

The river flows on either side
Letting the rock be in the centre
Why did you do that?
The river was asked.
I flow eternally
That is why!

The rock won, they all cried
River sang gleefully
Rock is rooted, I flow
The rock would eventually wither
I will always remain
I never lost
That is why!

The rock will be sand
I carry to the ocean
In the ocean we merge
Where there is no rock, no river
None the winner,
And no loser
That is why!

What, Where, Why, When? Who will answer?

What is it?
Who am I?
A piece of glittering diamond
Or a wretched impure

Where am I?
Where is it?
In the arms secure
Or in a stifling trap

Why is that?
Why am I?
Alive sometime
Asleep sometimes

When did it happen?
When did I exist?
I am here
Where else would I be

What’s in store for me?
What did I ever have?
Out there, is empty
In here, it’s me

Sky in the eye

The sky I must reach
The clouds I must pierce
Sun the scorcher
lying beyond the cloud
Must look him in the eye

The moon and the stars
Hang on the dome
Keeping the world
Encased within
Maintaining the semblance of the lie

The dark space
Beyond and in between
Fills every thing
And still remains empty
But seen with the closed eye

I have traveled for so long
It’s been many lives
I am beyond the sun, moon and stars
Floating in the emptiness
But have still not reached the sky

In the empty expanse
I stop moving
I no longer seek or see
I am where I began
I see the sky in the pupil of my eye
