A Deeper Insight

A Deeper Insight

One chilly evening, i walked towards the hills,
Into the jungle,towards the mist .
I could see the dark and silence all around ,
It started drizzling and creatures made sound.
But...i kept on walking into the woods ,
Trees after trees......dark,darker ......darkest !
No sense of fear,no apprehension of unseen......,
Comfort !! As with my body,my soul had always been.
I sat there,by the side of the tree ,
and the soft downpours ,started drenching me .
Some unasked questioned,some wishes unanswered,
worries most important,but nobody seemed concerned.
Me ,dying day by day.....gradually .
And in this rush of dying , i had forgotten to live.
Been carrying my body,throughout my life,
but one day,the harsh mighty hands ..
will split it with an unseen knife ,
and free the bird ,leaving no trails behind.
Then again a new life,loops after loops,
Again a new painting,painted and wiped till eternity!

The night still chilly ,the drizzling still there,
The sound of silence ,i could clearly hear .
Then slowly, a gush of wind came on my face ,
And i found myself ,caught in the haze .
Calm was the body ,but staggered was my mind,
suddenly , somebody tapped my shoulder from behind.
Who it could be , i turned up in surprise ,
A tall fragile figure , i couldn't believe my eyes .
I didn't like for sure ,being intruded upon,
For,i always like, the state of being all alone .
But,his calm old eyes seemed like warm comfort,
we started talking, we talked ,talked and talked .
But ,deep inside me,Still the questions unasked .

I am no strong,for whips of the life ,
bruises are still there ,like cuts of the knife .
"Son,you are no alone ,God is always there,
He always looks after you,so don't be scared.
With the healing touch,with lots of compassion,
Every now and then , he shows his concerns .
He helps you out ,to achieve your best....
So better you carry on,and leave on him the rest."

The same old answers,which i had been listening through,
I smiled ,full of agony,for not believing it true .
Then i cried ,with tears flooding down my eyes.....
"Why....why again the same set of lies ?"
"If God is always there,as you say it to be true...
Then why anguishes and sufferings all around ??"
"Why all your life ,pain follows you through ?"
With this, i kept on crying, i cried ,cried and cried .
The night still chilly, the drizzling still there .

He held my hands and calmed me down ...
"Son,don't feel blue and don't feel drawn.
All feelings and sufferings are two sides of the life,
God baptizes you in ,for you to strive ......
To strive for better and better all around ,
To leave this place better, better than you found.
life is the name of, not living for your own ,
To help living people,until you are gone.
So ,up my son...don't let worries to snipe......
There are tasks to be completed ,for which 'I' had given you this life."

Shocked !!! I lifted up my face,but no one around ,
Calm was inside,as answers i had found .

The night still chilly ,but drizzling had stopped........ !!!!!
