If there was a way out
To get you by my side
Probably, I wouldn’t write
Since, it is improbable
Elsewhere
I need to weave this fable
Hence on paper!
Still, so powerful
Your virtual presence
You nourish my heart
Nurture my thoughts
And father my pen
Oh! how fervently I wish
Something
Miraculous to happen

Bharti

Grey billow of clouds
So hopeful these are
Filled with watery pearls
Guaranteeing remedial shower

Flashes of light
Sounds of accosting thunder
Declares to the dead world
Charging to live the real wonder

Season's first kiss
Between rain and earth
Leaves indelible petrichor
Uplifting spirits for all its worth

Bharti

Take Time, Be Amazed*

Take time to look around each day
Be amazed at what you see
The many wonders of this world
The beauty that it brings

Stop and watch a baby
And hear the soft sweet cries
Admire all God's Glory
As a new born life arrives

Listen to the children
Spreading laughter all around
While they make angels playing
As snowflakes hit the ground

Watch a couple getting married
As they kiss and start their lives
Not knowing what their futures hold
The joy they feel inside

Look closely at a lasting love
As they sit while holding hands
Feel the passion in their hearts
And know it is Gods plan

Take time to look around each day
Be amazed at what you see
The many wonders of this world
The beauty that it brings*

Take time, Be Amazed

Poem by: Carl Joseph Roberts

Amongst good, better, best
In pursuit of the last
Mind and heart wanders
'Oh I wish....'
Is we live by then
When better is agreed
Before the best occurs!

Bharti

I can move mountains
With your little love equal to a mole
With the tiniest corner in your heart
I can make fractions into a whole

Gilded streaks of sun rays
Knocking at your door
To share all its light and spirit
For you to just adore
Every day!

Bharti

While I am busy rigging life
In many different ways
In the backdrop it secretly
Plays its own game

When I get a chance to live
I waste it all exploring the term
Only when it’s on the brink
I realize its importance

I should have done this and that
Is what all I am left with in the end
Fettered with austerity and apathy
With self I could never befriend

One day I will die
Leaving everything behind
So with god gifted eyes
I don’t want to turn blind

That’s why I assimilate
Adulating life is dearest
So, I decided to try
Love life regardless

I will try and erase every “wish”
Turn most of them into reality
If not at the grand level
Whatever at least is in my authority

Gift of health and peace of mind
Are the best one can receive
Thanks to God for the irreplaceable gifts
It’s just you and in you my belief

Bharti
