Feeling absolutely free...

Just believe me when I say
That today is a magical day
Something special is in the air
Inviting a life devoid of care
So many faces have a smile
Time seems still for a while
As birds sing on the trees
White lilies greet little bees
Tiny drops of September rain
Relieve the harsh summer pain
So come fly away with me
A new world we shall see
One where life is about living
And feeling absolutely free

--I posted the last 4 lines for another blog 3 days back...This is the original complete poem.

Wings of grace...

Along a riverside unknown I rest
To behold the hills in the west
When a million happy butterflies
Descend over velvety blue skies
Adorned in gold they gently play
By the woods where poppies sway
Many stories they love to share
Of distant lands and prairies fair
And as the breeze begins to grow  
Slowly they settle on fallen bough
Bless these little wings of grace
For whom life is not an empty race
Where each day is a new adventure
In pursuit of meaning and space

In search of happiness...


Walking by lonely woods on a foggy eve
Giant oaks glean fading rays like a sieve
Far have I come in search of some cheer
When I stumble to grasp a fallen leaf

Across the sylvan I behold a pair of deer
In mirthful song and dance they appear
Curious steps I take to watch them sway
Alas! sudden unknown causes them fear

With pious eyes on me as I step away
I sense their willingness to let me stay
And then the deer look to the deep dark
As if beckoning me to follow their way

Dropping my lantern lets out a spark
Giving shy deer my readiness mark
When my heart scarcely skips a beat
On the deer path I decide to embark

With hops and skips the deer retreat
For just a little moment our eyes meet
Dreaming what mystery lies beyond
I strive to keep pace with their feet

Deep in forest we reach a mystic pond
Lying hidden beneath layers of frond
And just then streams of memories fly
Like a chariot with little fairies adorned

As the wind colors the bewitched sky
Smiles and laughs from times gone by
In company of dear friends and family
Fleet steadily before the inward eye

And when those deer wander idly
I find a spot under a tree knightly
Next to lilies bathed in lunar glow
At last I breathe some peace unlikely

Gazing intently at starry waters below
I find those gentle deer in blissful love
My heart now makes the connection
Wondering why it took so long to know

Witness the art of that great magician!
Who designed the world to perfection
I kneel before that invisible hand
For making me happy in reflection
