Sit down
there, somewhere in the middle of this vast planet,
Look at
something beautiful. A cat, a street dog,
a kid in velvet,
A drop of
rain, a teenage kid, a charming girl, chameleon on a tree,
a lady with
blue eyes, a woman with gray hair, and a cake with cheery.
Sit down
there, somewhere in middle of chaos, in middle of people,
Think about
that never tired wave that hits the shore, we are its pupil.
The breeze
that goes around kissing cheeks after cheeks, but
We are
always worried about the hurricane and it freaks.
Sit down
there, in the corner of your room, with a paper and a pencil,
Write down
the words the pours down and you’re following only a stencil.
Word after
word jumps from your brain, not all you could write,
You think and filter with your patience and
make it bright.
Lie down in
the middle of your terrace with no lights, in the dark night,
In the middle
of the sky between the stars moves a bright light.
An asteroid
that burns itself for the pleasure of getting inside the Earth,
Not all
time but wait with the patience for it because it worth.
Sink inside the Gibran’s words or some book
you love,
Word by
word read it to fall in love as if to the author you owe.
Eschew shallow
breathing, the air all over is to take it in,
Inhale the
entire cosmos, exhale all ego and then grin.
Why so in
hurry!
The phase
of the Sun, the Moon and the Earth and universe is in sync,
Feel it is all inside you or live like you are
inside of it all. It is a link.
None of it
is true because you are everything and everything is you.
Everything
and everybody you see is YOU, be if a friend or foe.

So nicely penned poem, Satish. Loved it. It is so important to pause, appreciate the quiet world around us, the beauty of the daily life. It's usually done by people who are older. But I think it's important that youngsters too practice it. Loved the reference to Kahlil Gibran, and the way you have ended the poem -- the interconnectedness of everything in the universe.
