Aruna Anand's Poetry

 A DOOR-  A MYSTERY Life travels through many doors Going in, getting out Keeping apart two areas The arrival from departure From brilliant bright to pitch dark From shock to surprise The doors yield great power  Beautiful doors opening into temples Taking us to theaters, to performances To factories where peace is planned To doors where the scientific developments take place A door is  a closure Of a life' s chapter and a situation A door is an opening of another extension Could be a gateway for another opportunity Doors are a mystery Loaded with all possibilities  Doors can change the course of life Sight of the home entrance Door is a sigh of relief Leading to the oasis in the wide wide world A promise of safety,  a sign of security Home door becomes a signal Seclusion against any intrusion of every kind The door becomes a life saver A life preserver Living goes through varied doors Eac...

LOVING  LIFE AS NEVER BEFORE Hi my earth family of the world I think of you today In difficult uncertain times You are in my prayers Human fabric of happiness is tattered today Lust and greed robbed the mother nature  For benefit and pleasure Passing through the ruthless tide of time Would never be erased in the history of mankind Shaken with strong emotion The multitude stand in solitude Self created paradise Your home the safest cocoon Only relief amid chaos All trying to gather courage And energy for action Be like an eagle strong and healthy Be daring as never before  Be with your  loved ones Eat, sing, pray and dance together Endure the tough times Nature is reclaiming its lost grandeur Blue sky, birds chirping Bright colorful are the flowers Rivers crystal clear Trees waving at us with joy Let the fresh air heal us Refresh and caress Friends this is the war for survival Resilience need...

रुको ज़रा - कहाँ जा रहे हो आज नाराज़ है ज़िंदगी  दुनिया के ख़ुशनुमा चेहरे पर अनजाने दुश्मन का साया है  सभी हैरान और सभी परेशान  ज़रा रुको, सोचो ज़रा   कुदरत ने दस्तक दी है दिलो दिमाग पर   शोहरत और शौक  के पीछे कितना भागोगे  अब तो ज़िंदगी ही पीछे छूटने को है  संभल जाओ,  थोड़ा ठहरो  ऐसा न हो कि जो अच्छा है, जो सही है  वही पीछे छूट जाए  सृष्टि के सीने पर बहुत नश्तर चले हैं  संसार ने इसके  नियमों को खूब तोड़ा है इंसान कैसे इतना चूक गया  कैसे इतना भटक गया,  अपनी इच्छाओं के चक्रव्यूह में कैसे भरोगे ये प्रकृति के घाव   आज ज़िंदगी बहुत डर गई है अनजाना दुश्मन घात लगाये बैठा है   सहम गयी है ज़िंदगी  बुला रही है तुम्हें इसका हाथ पकड़ लो, सम्भालो इसे  तुम्हारी ही ज़िंदगी है   आपके अपने आपके साथ हैं  घर में ही आपकी खुशियाँ छिपीं हैं  मिल बैठो, हँसो और हँसाओ  ...

MIRROR OF THE WORLD  Strolling on the beach Listening soft music of the waves Calm ringlet waves play around my feet I'm touched by the humility Of voyage and vastness of sea High tide of the sea  Turns calm waves into ferocious reptiles Ready to destroy everything around Just like history part of it known And lots of it unknown Stories of  past happenings Written on stones by early humans Before the writing began Herodotus the father of history Wrote down first chronicle Of that time in 5th Century BC  History's ship is an inquiry Continuously cruising over Social, political and religious happenings Of the people who make history While living through it History an evolutionary reference For shaping future It may not be laughter, love and happiness always It bleeds when people die Under the covers of politics Religions and social injustice History searches For  goodness and purity Of the heart, hea...

 MY DESIRE  I am my desire, I am my goal  I am my thoughts, I am my aspiration All locked in the infinite mind Desires surround Like little birds chirping  To set them free and play around Twinkling stars Firing our dreams We start climbing up and down The valleys of life With pounding heart and racing pulse Attractions entice We struggle to uphold the quest Desires melt down To the liquid light bloom Colorful sparrows sing in ecstasy Oblivious of distant gloom We strive hard to hold   The shadows of life Bringing in divinity And beauty of the universe Wanting to be free Searching to know the truth The ultimate truth My goal, my ambition The extreme truth Is my desire ________

                                                       JOURNEY OF JOY We the best creation of God Personifying perfection Signifying the heavenly balance of nature Even when Two sides of a face are different  Looking very beautiful Though nothing is perfect but Seems faultless Human nature always looks for a flaw And that's what makes life As in the Japanese philosophy Of seeking and achieving beauty Perfection within the imperfections Just like a broken flower vase Mended with glittering glue Looks artistic and pretty  While going through the natural cycle of  life Growth, development, decay We come across setbacks in many forms Making life imperfect Imperfections are challenges of life Turn them into inspirations Ignite the fire of your imagination The glue of self belief and c...
