..the Sky Wonders at Me

Posted on Updated on

sky-image-1..the Sky Wonders at Me 

 

I see, the Sky Wonders at Me

It watches me

By birth 

I landed beneath it

From then on 

The here and there

The wandering with or without purpose 

It also knows I am not a vagabond

Witnessing day and night 

The love I share

The instant anger and temperament 

 It knows everything

I am in good health, happy and overwhelmed

I am sick and sad

I am scared, sorrowful and disgusted

I am puzzled 

I am confused

 I work hard, at times lazy

I am with all

 I am alone

There is no secret I can hide

It has no place for it to hide

My head tilts up

I stretch my arms wide towards

It stretches so wide as if 

To swallow me and the world 

I ask who are You

Who am I?

It is silent

Silently it says

I am transcendence 

I am the bliss

I am there forever

You come and go

It says as if 

It has said so many times

Can you not hear me?

I am left still thinking

Meanwhile 

The Sky Wonders at Me

      Thanks Brigid! Your love always makes me inspired.
      Congratulations on the release of your Book. I actually came across that post of yours through Deb’s blog but could not visit you. My mother is ill and requires my attention. I shall share your blessings with her. I shall later visit you during the day.
      Hope you are having a nice weekend.

    That’s a fascinating thought to ponder…how many millions, billions, zillions of people has the sky wondered at? Seeing all the good and bad, the hopeful and hopeless, the happy and sad…the Sky has certainly seen it all…so having seen it all does the Sky even wonder at us anymore? We certainly wonder, as we should, at the Sky and all that it beholds! “Wonder”ful poem Shiva!! As usual, thought-provoking!!

    I felt the spirit of each word you shared and the emotion., Shiva your poem inspires me and is so very soulful. It truly represents what I have already known about the genuine, selfless spirit alive within you. I love the poem, thanks for sharing!

      Wendell this is too great a comment you not only say goody goody things about this poem but also what you know about me as a selfless spirit alive within me. After reading this comment I feel you should read my post “Celestial Embrace” which I think you have not gone through. Here is the link I give you.

      Please go through and comment on that.

      Having given that knowledge to us or we are able to know that we do not attempt to know. Therefore it wonders at us I suppose.

    So often we wander through life looking down at our feet and yet when we raise our heads and notice what’s around us under that magnificent starlit sky, we can experience true beauty. What a wonderful poem Shiva that reminds me of the magnificence of the world and that we all live under one sky looking up at the same stars…Thank you! x

      Now Wendy!
      You have made my day by your precious comments this morning.
      Yes the magnificent of which we gage and it seems to tell I am there always, you just wander below me for what purpose; it seems to as if question, why? for what? after all you are going off from me not to see you again in a short span of time (Death).
      Hence it wonders.
      That is the gist.
      You could feel the gist of it, I am overwhelmed about that.
      Thank You
      Shiva

          Wendy I think you are inspiring me to write another poem. If I do, the credit shall go to you.
          “Celestial Embrace” is one such, which gave a positive trajectory to readers. These have been my favorites now.
          Please keep visiting and boost my drink of life.
          Wendy, in India there is health vitamin powder especially for children and old to mix in milk and drink, it’s brand name is “Boost”.
          Hahaha
          It is day here, 1.30 pm and I think you are ready to go to bed, so keep thinking of the sky and have good celestial dreams.

    So Delightful!! loved the simplicity of your description of the sky, which engulfs a much deeper meaning,The great restorative energy the sky reflects as one looks up to it when one is under stress or panic, joyful or unhappy
    resonates with me.I always looked up at the sky when I missed someone. But you have painted a lovely canvass of the sky with your kaleidoscopic words.. Too beautiful!!
    What a delightful vision you have Shiva, your energy n enthusiasm just flows out in abundance in every piece of your writing just hits the heart!!!Thank you for such a fabulous poem!!.
    Thank you for sharing!!
