Aruna Anand's Poetry

  THE AWAKENING When alone I travel within Gather my many scattered selves Make them one into myself Being with self Brings the light of consciousness Self assessment Finding beauty in the clutter  Of thoughts and beliefs Seeing the united expanse of the darkness  Sparkling stars Stirring new ambitions Giving courage and hope Solitude becomes a guide Wakes up new dreams Of love, of kindness For all Lost in the streets  Of heart and mind Listening the sadness of the world Can decide  To help the poor and the troubled Solitude - the awakening The harbinger of inner strength And the peace  Awakening bringing  The pearls of positivity  ____________    

  SYMPHONY OF MIRACLES Sitting  behind the closed doors Pleasant perfume of flowers Infuse my room   And I listen to the songs Of love and life    Making me happy  Alive with joy Surrounded by God's  generosity We remain unaware Of these unseen gifts Sunlight takes eight minutes  To brighten the earth  Sounds and smells  Reaching us with lightening speed Travelling at 300,000 km. per second Rivers and streams echo the lilting music Flowers spread their fragrance With the gentle touch of velvety wind Soothing hearts and souls Caressing like lover's hands Gentle push of air ignites fire Thunder brings  Heavenly showers  Exciting the mother earth Creating new and renewing The living and the non-livings   Benign beginnings Marking the circle of life Five magical elements of nature Air, fire, water, earth and ether The friends of our life  Keeping us alive and happy The invisible gifts of generosity God's symphony of mirac...

       THE LIGHT OF LOVE    Crafted by light The beauty of life We strive to look for beauty Waiting for love Swimming against the flow of life Takes away the essence of life Silence of thought and action Becomes a silent storm Tears are precious filled with emotion The seed of beauty  Hidden in truth itself  And that's The light of love Care and compassion Love is not the passion alone Selfless love is large hearted in every sense Nourishing everyone Even the non-living Everything around us  Pulsating with waves of care and concern Love is bliss and a blessing When you feel it Beauty grows in goodness Being good a virtue of selfless love Beauty of life hidden In the light of love and compassion Love is yours forever When you flow with the beauty of life ____________                                      

    THE POWER OF LOVE World is beautiful We embrace it, live it and love it Power of love empowers And enlightens the human family To observe clearly To act with kindness and understanding We seek assurance in life Given by some authority or an ideal person, A religion or anything else  An authority's opinion is just an opinion Is not the whole truth Absolute truth itself is the authority Human impulse is to possess The love of power corrupts Demoralizes the understanding World is facing the wellness crisis  Hope of life is in turmoil On the edge of its end We breathe   All our life Every breath is an opportunity Create something beautiful and a healthy life Wise action can sustain our hope Natural self healing, science And spirituality are the winners of every situation Only love can uplift us  Kindness and empathy Is the savior of human family The power of love is all we need to be alive To be happy -------------------
