Aruna Anand's Poetry

  A  GRAIN  OF  SAND  AND  MANKIND Strolling on the beach I pick up a fistful of sand Tiny particles slip through my hand Playing around my feet Carving my footprints God created this amazing world The birds, the bees and the trees We are fashioned by him All blessed with special strengths The tiny grains of sand are tender But it does not mean their will is slender Floods create havoc  Finishing life and the living Only sandbags can stop water from devastation Humble grain of sand is very light But it reveals story of the  planet Earth Can it be compared with life ! The smiles, the tears and the years Fragile as ever Fly away unaware You are a drop in an ocean A seed of greatness You are born with wings Fly to your dreams Own your personal possibilities Nothing can stop you You are not small You are free to achieve  Your ideals, your dreams Fly and own your special strengths ----------

YOGINI I became a Yogini When we looked at each other Oblivious to the world around We got together forever I inhaled your breath Submerged myself In the incense of your soul Exhaled slowly This became my “Pranayam” Sitting silent I think of your smile Soak myself in its sunshine This became my “Dhyana” Lost in you Unaware of the world Very still in body and mind And this became my “Samadhi” Arising like an ivy I encircle you with my arms Enclosing tight - to reach your heart Your love became my “Moksha” And I became a Yogini      A Yogini for life        --------
