online today!CHANGE
Everything in life is in
a constant state of change
A mountain may appear fixed
for it is unlikely to change noticeably
in our lifetime
Yet from the perspective of infinite time
that mountain is just as transient
as the morning mist
Even as one looks at the mountain
it is changing
The sun, wind, rain, snow
and other forces of nature
are continually changing that mountain
It may take millions, perhaps billions of years
for a noticeable change
but Nature has infinite time
for the change
a constant state of change
A mountain may appear fixed
for it is unlikely to change noticeably
in our lifetime
Yet from the perspective of infinite time
that mountain is just as transient
as the morning mist
Even as one looks at the mountain
it is changing
The sun, wind, rain, snow
and other forces of nature
are continually changing that mountain
It may take millions, perhaps billions of years
for a noticeable change
but Nature has infinite time
for the change

About this poem:
CHANGE ALONE IS UNCHANGING-Heraclitus
(Poetic Prose)
Someday Shadows
I was cast in shadows of doubts
Where I would stand in winter woods
Surrounded by these long straight bars
Stretching majestically away from the sun
So that standing behind each tall bare tree
Rising right high over me or under me
Not always knowing which direction
Will leads me home or away to darkness
And as always light should follow me
Shining path I will follow along the way
Where I would stand in winter woods
Surrounded by these long straight bars
Stretching majestically away from the sun
So that standing behind each tall bare tree
Rising right high over me or under me
Not always knowing which direction
Will leads me home or away to darkness
And as always light should follow me
Shining path I will follow along the way

About this poem:
Inside and outside my shadow.online today!Sailors In the Sky
Vultures on the wing high up in the sky
Careen in flight as they go sailing by
Tracing out patterns of vanishing lines
As they create most exquisite designs
Other birds like eagles, gulls and falcons
Also engage in such exhibitions
Viewing them gives a feeling of freedom
That transcends daily life's din and humdrum
With wings outstretched they effortlessly ride
Rising air currents that support their glide
With angled wings they dip down and then rise
Navigating their way up in the skies
In total mastery of flight they appear
Cavorting and floating up in the air
With the gracefulness of their flight on high
They are true avian sailors in the sky

About this poem:
Since I was a child, I have always admired the effortless gliding of vultures up in the sky.Among other gliding birds listed are albatross, eagle, condor, stork, frigatebird and seagull.
It is a truly delightful to watch the marvellous gliding action of these birds way up in the sky as they ride the air currents.
This poem is dedicated to them: the genuine avian sailors in the sky.
(I have made some adjustments to the original to include some other gliding birds in the body of the piece).
ANOTHER DAY
Another day fades into the past
shorter and shorter they seem to last
Each tick of time becomes history
where it goes forever a mystery
Another day quickly becomes yesterday
from final destiny no getting away
Tomorrow's bound to turn into today
one day forever could go away
Another day always reaches tomorrow
time we can only borrow
Future brings about 'another day'
it's always been that way
Each day's Twenty-Four hours from it's end
like every human life they're only on lend
shorter and shorter they seem to last
Each tick of time becomes history
where it goes forever a mystery
Another day quickly becomes yesterday
from final destiny no getting away
Tomorrow's bound to turn into today
one day forever could go away
Another day always reaches tomorrow
time we can only borrow
Future brings about 'another day'
it's always been that way
Each day's Twenty-Four hours from it's end
like every human life they're only on lend

online today!Clouds and Sunshine
Fluffy white clouds floating up in the sky
Against a background of celestial blue
Changing their shapes as they meander by
Creating a most magnificent view
The moving shapes are edged with wisps of mist
As they sail on unhurriedly on high
Coruscating in their milky whiteness
Against a brilliant sunshine lighted sky
Against a background of celestial blue
Changing their shapes as they meander by
Creating a most magnificent view
The moving shapes are edged with wisps of mist
As they sail on unhurriedly on high
Coruscating in their milky whiteness
Against a brilliant sunshine lighted sky

ARTISTIC PALETTE.....
Nature's hand, a canvas can change
Artist uses seasons, variety range
Summer when skies, blue and high
Lift spirits allowing, daydreams fly
Autumns scene, so random and brief
Focus on colour, as changing leaves
Drying-flutter, down towards ground
Silent fall, death makes no sound
When winter chill, brings snow
Life a short time, slowly grow
Until spring, impatient rush
Thaws soil, plants grow lush
Pop-up warns, coming days
Light flashes lift, sunrays
Artist-nature, paint brushes seasons
Colour pallet, teaching reasons
Define picture, on canvas paint
Living-visual, acts live bait
Eyes scan, beauty we know
Earths beginning, reality sow
Changing pictures, morn till night
Waking sunburst, or twilights flight
All are precious, captured to freeze
Left in memories, over time to tease.....

About this poem:
I wrote this especially for our tree-hugging poet Redex, and posted it on one of her blogs.It is in haiku format (3 lines: 5-7-5 syllables)
Be Natural to be Civilized
Evolution has made us Civilized
But we still hold-on to 'Raw'
Tribal signs become rage as 'Tattoo'
Fur and Dead Skins throb 'High streets'
'Mother of Pearl' used in watches
'Feather' in Hats adorn the Derby
'Naked Bathing Pools' common in some land
'PETA' activists pose bare to save
'Angry Birds' is kids fave game
Though we grow grain and veggie,
Still kill 'Life' many
Men keep beard to look crude
Women like 'Florals' on dresses
Skydive, paraglide to feel like 'Birds'
Facepacks n lotion made of Fruits
Pullovers warmest knitted with Lamb wool
People prefer 'Naturopathy' for treating ill
Let's pledge to 'Respect Mother Nature'
Love one another, let's care n share
That's the way to stay 'Naturale'....

Post Commentonline today!An Act of Love
Ripening fruit
swells more each day
till skin so tight
unable to contain the desire within
bursts----
yielding its insides
to the sunshine
which enters her
and touches the soft flesh
- an act of love
the eternal song of nature -
earth receiving the falling rain
shore receiving the returning tide
female and male uniting
in perfect harmony
and for each
- an act of love
swells more each day
till skin so tight
unable to contain the desire within
bursts----
yielding its insides
to the sunshine
which enters her
and touches the soft flesh
- an act of love
the eternal song of nature -
earth receiving the falling rain
shore receiving the returning tide
female and male uniting
in perfect harmony
and for each
- an act of love
