nightingale

By on March 29, 2009 in Happiness, Inspiration, Peace

 

Once a weary soul was aslumber
under a cool shade, his tired body
was soaking the cool of the tree
shade after a tortuous journey.
 
His slumber was gently disturbed
By sweet chirping of the birds
Which were resting there just like him
Chatting and chattering away from sun.
 
All of a sudden his reverie was broken
By the melody most divine
A nightingale started its solitary song
As if by magic all else hushed up.
 
He laid awake with his eyes closed
Listening to that tiny bird
Pouring its heart out selflessly
Soothing every soul with pure love.
 
Suddenly the strain was shattered
By a raucous caw, the tiny bird
Flew away hurt and scared by a rogue
The man snapped out of his slumber.
 
Opened his eyes, saw the tyrant and muttered
in a tone half furious and half amused..
Beauty is placed alike everywhere by God
Some adore it, some possess, and some abuse.

About mydomainpvt

 

 

Who am I? just a child of God like you
Your very own, I too worship the same God
Only in some other form, and just like you
I too pray for food, shelter and clothe for all.

What do I love? In this beautiful world?
Let me think, the smile on a baby’s face
Flowers, gardens, sky, clouds and butterflies
Music, love, friends, any thing with beauty.

My religion? To love every harmless soul
Feel compassion for every living being
Never play God even when I am wronged
Never to hit back unless pushed in corner.

What do I hope? A permanent place in your heart
An entire life of friendship with you
We will fly together forever, in the blue skies
Full of love, peace and harmony everlasting

 

 

A lotus of light is slowly opening its petals
A divine fragrance is enveloping my being
As if my whole existence is slowly changing
Transforming itself to wait for your touch.

Don’t make me wait any longer
Just come down place your feet
In this lotus waiting for you
Touch it and make it divine

    It's a very beautiful poem, Sharmishtha, thank you for sharing. Although I feel moved to add that it's not the crow/magpies fault that that nightingale went quiet and flew away :) Crows are creations of the divine too. Poor little one… just wanted to join in the song :) )

    The song of a nightingale is breathtaking and I do like your poem. Thank you!

    With Respect

    dearest sara,

    thats how a sweet soul like you think. :)

    i too love the song of songbirds, esp just

    before the dawn, when every thing else is

    silent. its simply heaven.

    with lots and lots of love,

    sharmishtha
