Poetry and Life

Is it really fixed
That I've moved that far away
And continually I'll be moving till I breathe last
And I'll find certainly, that
I have reached at passionate point in my life.
Which point it would be?
With which passion at what degree?

Is it really unpredictable?
If it isn't predictable
Then what is the meaning
Of creating meaningful passion.

It's really a meaningful thing
To create a meaningful passion.
Isn't it?
It's not really special to be at roof
But it's really special to be ordinarily inside a dark room with brightness of your own
But which kind of ordinariness?
Which kind of speciality?


If it's that...
Then each and every word
Just becomes a jargon
Just becomes a terminology
Which needs a lot of interpretations to go on
To describe on
To be explained in different plains
In different moods
In different dark spots.

I may speak for a long time
That's what I have,
I do have only words,
The fragrant words
The speaking words
The empty words.
I do have words only
And I create poetry out of those words.

Does poetry seek me out?
Yes , Poetry seeks me out
And poetry seeks words from me.
We need words to speak out
And here it becomes poetry
We'll decorate ourselves
We'll go on ourselves with our own breeze..

Where is the bird
Where is the sky
We need lots of things
We need a space to fly.

Himalayan Symphony

"Himalayan Symphony: Songs and Poems of Narendra Singh Negi" is a book consisting of the English translation of the major songster and poet of Uttarakhand Himalayas Sri Narendra Singh Negi.  His expression has been inclusive of all the vivid colours of hill life. This book is a series of an earlier book "A Stream of Himalayan Melody: Selected songs of Narendra Singh Negi" which has been readily accepted by readers nationwide. This series envelops his poems and songs of great artistic value.  Foreword If ever one were to draw a map of popularity of individuals in the central Himalayas Shree Narendra Singh Negi would occupy the highest standing bar. It will be a gross mistake if one evaluated Negi just for the poignant songs he has written, sung and composed. He stands atop and beyond them all – A towering Adam-sized human being. His universal popularity and presence is bewildering. He is everywhere:  In Uttarakhand agitation, taking out “prabhat pheris” i...

कराह

तुम्हारी उम्रों के पैर थके हुए नजर आते हैं कि वो चल रही हैं सफर अपना, और बहुत लाज़मी भी है बातों का उसी तरह घटित होना जैसा कि उनको होना है तुम्हारे वहाँ होने से जहाँ कि तुम हो भल...

Bow, arrow and target!

Bow, arrow and target! Laden with the flowers of countless heavens And bloomed petals of thousand lotuses The ‘bow’ is OM Expressed into countless names and forms The individual Self, the ‘arrow’ is And, the Inexpressible, Inconceivable, Imperishable Brahman, the ‘target’ is In the silence of witnessing and watchfulness The ‘arrow’ should be pierced gently And tenderly grounded With the target hit, ‘arrow’ becomes the ‘target’ And gained is Oneness (Poem from my personal diary kept in between  the tranquil showers of Maandukya Upanishad and Guru Granth Sahib) Dr Deepak Bijalwan  Image from - https://randomrantingsofacreativemind.wordpress.com
