BY THE FIRESIDE

Gather, gathering, gathered we are

By the fireside, from every side

With a united spirit in arts

A magnified voice of hope

And a ratified treaty of peace

By the fireside like the riverside

We lay our burdens to be forgotten

We shed our tears heaped over the years

We heal our pains with antics of gain

And we crunch with faith, driven by fate

 

By the fireside, then or now,

Rains the stories of days, of people and of places

The stories of love, of freedom and of peace

By the fireside with burning desire,

Warms our soul to be free from control

By the fireside wholly without strife,

I see the brothers and sisters overjoyed

Across the bridges of pain, of hate and of losing

To the other side where resides, more to gain

And where dreams cross streams to realms

By the fireside in the trough of fire-tides

Blazes the flames of divine creativity

Coated in the flames of cosmic relativity

Penning pieces with poetic furnishes

Inspiring the desire to never retire

By the fireside with glimmering firelights,

Hovers our bloated thoughts of reality

Like arrows of furrows in rows

Stand firm brothers and sisters

We can realize our dreams by the fireworks

by the fireside

Is Life ...?

Is there any other way,
We can arrive at same result?
Yes we may trust an alternative,
But tell me, just like that?
Is life some sort of experiment,
Hidden behind earnest experiences?
How do we classify the facts,
Among the pools of raining tracts?
Give me a reason to give up,
But know, my season is glowing.
Let's move in the forward direction,
The new walls, still under erection.
You are the man in charge,
So step it up right and large.

....The System?

How can I trust the system?
While betrayal is the cheapest commodity,
It is the same system that promises hope
That is full of destitution and defamation
It is the same system that promises peace
That is plagued by war, crime and discrimination
There seem no good man anymore in the world
The one you have good reasons to trust
Could actually be the one designed to bring you down
Injustice and insecurity have flooded the earth
There seem lack of answers to the primal questions
Our climb up the mountain is firmly restricted
And we have memories as short as days; volatility
With sights obscured from eternal visions; unaesthetic
Now is the time to think and rethink it over and again
There might be a step or steps we are missing
Only we and only us can liberate ourselves
From the shackles of perpetual internal blindness
Let's give reasons to the world around us
Why they should trust us and why we'd trust them
That is how we can keep our home spinning
How we can keep pace with the peace we know
And the only way we can reinstall the hope we lost

Life Is A Journey

Life is a one way journey,
To the land of the living
From the world unborn
And to the world unknown

The route aren't straight
But keeps meandering
Through alternating rocks,
Of right and of wrong

Everyone travels life's journey
Without passport nor visa
Not by land, by air nor by water
But within and to a destiny

Life is a call to be attended to
A mission to fulfill with pride
So while you live, take some ride
Into distance and into time too

Life is a gift worth receiving,
It's a precious and priceless treasure,
That's why its value's without measure,
And it's always worth keeping.

Life is a journey between two ends,
Say the past and the future,
It is the very present, with mends
And full of hope to better the future.

Life is like a spring of water that soothes,
It has the ability to cure our wounds,
It's the reason we survive every season
And rejoice in praise with our flutes

We travel life every way every now or then,
From zeros to heroes surviving few blows,
So learn to learn as you live life in the rows,
And no straight way, should you bend.
