A New Life

Sail away and lets be free,
Free as birds in the highest tree,
To a land with silver sand,
Waving palms, untouched by hand.

Hold the tiller, set our course,
To a new life, without remorse.
Over a moon induced, friendless sea,
No dangerous currents between you and me.

Let the strongest wind fill our sails,
And save our souls from treacherous gales.
Let the waves be kind not rough,
And lap our bow gently enough.

Let the clouds move through the skies,
As the gliding birds emit their cries.
Through friendly waters and a lot of fuss,
The playful pets, gently guide us.

Torrents of rain, sweep over our craft,
As gods hand pushes from a raft.
The gentle sway becomes a roll,
Frightening our lives to the very soul.

The storm abated, our course reset,
No time to worry or regret.
Our decision to find a life a new,
Away from friends good and true?

Dream.....

The world shifts within time as do the thoughts in my mind

thoughts of the blind leading the ill, a holocaust in a rhyme

featuring skill but lacking essence was a problem of mine

Till  true friend walked upon my path, i was astounded to find

He took me under his wing, had me envision the light

"Wisdom alights on those" he told me "who are driving to fight!"

A simple insight, but the meaning was not  clear to me then

though it is now, Forever commited to the pad and the pen

Compassionate then, He led me to where the entire world could be seen

A superlative thing, and so i asked is all of this just a dream

He only smiled and simply stated that "all our futures are one

As infinite as sea shores and clouds aligned with the sun

It is only possible to continue if earth inhabits a few

who understand that time is precious, unlike the views of a fool

But the views that we use, separate us from the masses confused

To direct them opposite of such a passionate ruse"

I asked of the few who would deliver those with minimal sight

Still he smiled with eyes closed...Then i awoke in the night!

I looked out my window and what i saw, a city flooded with pain

So I drew an arc with my pen to shelter the world from the rain

(Finally,  i came to knew true friend behave as master  some time)

My Best Friend's

My best friends forever
Are here by my side
To help me forget
All the days that I've cried

Since the first day we met
Our friendship has grown
They don't speak a word
But their purpose is known

They'll bring me the comfort
To help ease my pain
They'll erase all the anguish
Which I have obtained

Together, they'll bring
The susbstance I need
To cast out the fear
Which my mind may breed

They'll clear me a path
And show me the way
To the light that I seek
On my dying day

When I take my last breath
They'll all be together
Giri, achyuth and naveen
My best friends forever.
