May this Day!

May this Day! - a Swamy(po)em to celebrate Life on May Day

Just one more object, you once again long, 
Even if the loved ones do say it's wrong.
May this Day show...
Objects come & go, but Love lasts as strong!

Just one more time, you indulge that puff,
Making all those sane, leave you in a huff.
May this Day clear...
The cloud of smoke and call your sickly bluff!

Just one more bite, you crave for the spicy,
Knowing fully well, your health could be dicey.
May this Day clean...
The toungue tied appetite that makes wellness pricey!

Just one more swig, you thirst for more pegs,
Even as your sense, pleads to stop & begs.
May this Day wash...
The moronic pull that pushes you to kegs!

Just one more snooze, you pause that alarm,
Even as flying birds chirp and rays of Sun swarm.
May this Day light...
The will to wake up and walk, making the heart warm!

Just one more curse, you bark, rile and blame,
Knowing that rage will bring you more shame.
May this Day cool...
The lava of anger that blocks you from Mount Fame!

Just one more lie, you tell casually to win,
Masking the truth with a sugary little spin.
May this Day peel...
The hurtful facade away, and throw it into the bin!

Just one more menace, you ignore that stray,
Knowing its unconditional love, never goes astray.
May this Day cure...
The apathy to care, so you can empathize before you gray!

Just one more wish, you bow, pray and ask,
As many do, and turn the creator to a master of task.
May this Day bless...
The wishers a will to act, so in glory they can bask!

Just one more day, you spend again like in the past,
Even as Life blooms, trots, wafts, flies around so fast.
May this Day set...
The inner spark alight, so the rest of Life isn't so aghast!

Just one more routine, you go through the grind and brace,
As purposeless ambition & pointless competition suck Joy away sans trace.
May this Day set...
The inner self alight, and shower you with boundless Grace!

Just one more fallen, you pass the wilted flower with sneer,
Knowing not it blossomed in full, laughing at your in silent jeer.
May this Day offer... 
The chance for you to Be Joyful & Spread the Cheer!

Who am I...

When the bird soars way too high
Flies and floats with nary a sigh
Who am I
… To doubt its aim
Of reaching the edge of vast blue sky!

When the flower blossoms casting a spell
Freeing the bud’s petals from a lull
Who am I
… To ponder its hue
Whether it’s too bright or a bit dull!

When the furry pup wags its tail
Every time I pass her without fail
Who am I
… To suspect its love
Pure and clear as water in a pail!

When the rain pours and lashes the city
Drenching all and sundry without any pity
Who am I
… To curse its fury
When hail and drizzle sound like a ditty!

When the lithe peacocks sashay and prance
Waving bluish green feathers as they dance
Who am I
… To mock their swing
That never fails to keep gawkers in trance!

When the sun rises at dawn
Waking all beings wiping a yawn
Who am I
… To shield those rays
Without which there’s no man, fawn or lawn!

When the baby babbles and smiles
Setting alight any land for miles
Who am I
… To block its warmth
That could cleanse the humans’ wiles!

When the brassy temple bell tolls
As its wave of sound rises and rolls
Who am I
… To shut my ears
When AUM fills to brim the aural wells!

When the young fall in love with desire
Burning with passion like wood on a pyre
Who am I
… To lock my heart
As inclusion ember glows long after the fire!

When repetitive routine leaves a big void
And life just goes on as if you are a droid
Who am I
… To not remind y’all
Rat race is something you can choose to avoid!

When work life soars with many battles won
Consuming us fully as we continue to run
Who am I
… To not look inward
Since Life’s work remains yet to be done!

When wave after wave kisses the shore
Without a pause but no need to score
Who am I
… To stop their foray
Since ceaseless effort is realization’s core!

When illness and injury show we’re frail
As mountains and oceans stay nonpareil
Who am I
… To not stay still
So my will to know the Truth does not derail!

When the thirst to know gets so intense
Washing away all known pretense
Who am I
… To refuse to quench
With my Master’s Grace, forever hence!

Income's Expense!

Many have time in abundance,
to speak something endlessly.
Few have patience aplenty,
to hear anything ceaselessly.

Tireless talkers leave
having spent countless words,
hunting for the next mute game.
Tiresome listeners too leave
having got limitless words,
searching for the headache balm!

In this pointless word-filled
income's expense math,
Fate's impact doesn't get subtracted...
Life's meaning doesn't get added...
Knowledge's volume doesn't get multiplied...
Love's intensity doesn't get divided...
Nor does boundless silence's
breadth, length and depth get calculated...

Wherever in places we
Humans keep speaking and hearing
Forever words, sans any experience of
Life, the way it is...
Like scattered alphabet flowers
fallen from severed sound thread…
Lie around in a heap of waste,
lots of words spent in haste!
