The Beauty of Rain

 Why does rain feel so beautiful,
As if the sky itself has become merciful?
Each drop touches the skin so light,
Washing away the dust of life.

Why does its fragrance calm the soul,
Like broken pieces becoming whole?
The scent of rain upon the earth
Feels like nature’s quiet rebirth.

Perhaps rain reminds the heart
That endings too can become a start;
That even clouds heavy with pain
Return as something soft as rain.

It cleans not only roads and trees,
But hidden worries carried silently;
For a moment, the world feels slow,
And peace begins to gently flow.

Maybe that is why faces smile
Watching rain fall mile by mile;
Because somewhere deep, the soul is aware
Rain feels like heaven touching earth with care.

Only a Dream

 Dreams are meant to stay unreal,
Soft imaginations we only feel;
Like when the rain begins to fall,
And the heart forgets the world and all.

It whispers softly, “Step outside,
Raise your face, let drops collide;
Open your hands, let the heavens flow,
And take your soul where dreamers go.”

As if the rain could wash away
Every wound life chose to stay;
As if beyond those silver streams
Wait heavenly worlds built out of dreams.

Yet still I stand behind the line,
Watching rain through glass and time;
Though storms have called me all these years,
I never stepped ahead of fears.

So there it stays—my quiet sky,
A dream I’ll love, but never try.

Imaginary Heaven

 I lived an imaginary life with you,
Yet every feeling in it felt true;
The comfort, the peace, the quiet delight—
More than heaven itself could write.

The happiness I found in that dream,
Was softer than moonlight’s silver gleam;
An utmost pleasure my heart once knew,
Simply by imagining life with you.

So thank you for the joy you gave,
For every smile my memories save;
Never come back—just live your way,
May happiness with you forever stay.

Your life deserves the best of light,
The purest peace, the warmest sight;
For among the souls this world has known,
You are a beautiful soul on your own.

Jaane Do

 Jaane do… just let it pass,
Like drifting clouds above the glass;
Whatever life may bring or break,
Let it flow for your own sake.

Let the waters cross your head,
Watch in silence, nothing said;
This mortal life, with all its play,
Is only drama night and day.

People come and people go,
Feelings rise, then fade like snow;
What seems eternal turns to dust,
And time dissolves both love and trust.

For one deep truth remains below—
One day no “you” will even know;
No pain, no joy, no lingering cry…
Just stillness where all endings lie.

Wandering Mind

Jobless me, with restless thoughts,
Running circles, tying knots;
A tired mind that will not rest,
Questioning if it’s doing its best.

“Why am I so stupid?” echoes near,
Fed by doubt and silent fear;
But hearts weighed down speak harsh at times,
Especially in unfinished climbs.

A phase is not a final name,
Nor struggle proof that you’re to blame;
Even lost roads someday bend
And broken thoughts don’t mean the end.

Eternal With You

From day one, Amma, I was with you,
And somewhere deep, I still live in you;
I wished my whole life would remain
Beside your love, through joy and pain.

But destiny chose another way,
And pulled our hands apart one day;
Still in my heart I truly know,
You never really let me go.

When my last day quietly arrives,
I know your presence will survive;
You’ll hold my hand and make me see
That you and I were meant to be.

Not just one birth, not one small span,
But souls together beyond life’s plan;
We laughed, we fought, we smiled as one,
Like moon and sky, never undone.

Your love was purer than my own,
A place where every fear was gone;
And I believe through every life,
Your love will find me through all time.

Love you, Amma… this stays true,
No matter where life takes me to;
I miss you more than words can say
And I’m sorry, Amma… every day. 🤍

Cheer Up, Heart

 Cheer up, heart—no more tears to keep,
No borrowed sorrow buried deep;
No more living on wounds long gone,
Rise now gently, and move along.

Life still holds a road to tread,
Many skies still lie ahead;
Though ups may fade and downs may stay,
Still walk with courage day by day.

It needs to see life’s setting sun
With a peaceful smile when all is done;
No heavy regrets, no fearful cry,
Just calm acceptance by and by.

Live as life arrives each turn,
Through what is lost and what we learn;
For one sure end awaits the same
To reach my mom… and speak her name.
