Peace

The sun thus shines, on trees that be
Flow gentle winds, on mountains free
And colors bright, do bliss convey
In peace one may, so live again!

The Tide Does Change!

Sometimes when, things are southward bound
And people near, upon you look down
Though know they not, the tide does change
What's down then, goes far up again!

Kings Of Skies

 Over the shades, of dark and light

Of feathers free, some take to flight

To mountain blue, that towers tall

As kings of skies, they reach beyond!

Wish everyone a very happy new year!!!

They Come To Fore!

 

Ages old, still in solid stance

Do stand these rocks, by daily paths

 Though pass we them, and still ignore

Some times like these, they come to fore!

O Morning Sun!

 

O Morning Sun! Pray light our way

Today, tomorrow, everyday

In darkness back, so slip we not

And walk we strong, on correct path

Happy Diwali!!!

Lead Me...

 

Over the hills and vales beyond
Lead me there to the mountain tops
For walk I will, with no complaints
I trust you, time and time again.

The Wanderer

Beyond the cares, and strifes routine

In Nature's lap, his life's serene

Goes everywhere, but still at home

One with the world, the wanderer

Inspired from:

हे विश्वची माझें  घर |

ऎसी मती जयाची स्थिर |

किंबहुना चराचर |

आपण जाहला ||

- श्रीज्ञानेश्वरी  १२.२१३

The Mountain Fine

Braving winters, it gathers snow

To feed the rivers, for months to flow

Steady and strong, through trying times

Ready always, the mountain fine

Never an End!

Mountains, forests, to plains below

Along its way, the river flows

Villages, farms, and cities past

To ocean meets, its course at last

Unseen by us, it circles back

Ocean to clouds, to mountains high

From there it starts, all over again

Proving there was, never an end!

Some Friends Of Mine

Those misty falls, with waters clean

So sparkling white, in diffused greens

And soaring birds, of flights so fine

Spreading peace, are some friends of mine.

Forts of Shivaji

डोंगर द-या नि घनदाट झाडी

शिव - मित्र भव्य हा सह्याद्री

कड़े कपारे गड आगळे
आधार स्वराज्याचे हे निराळे

This verse refers to the manner in which the Sahyadri Mountains came to the use of Chhattrapati Shivaji Maharaj establishment of Self Rule, more than 300 years ago. The difficult mountain terrain and the various forts on top of these mountains were a great support for the enormous task that was accomplished by him and his trusted people. The painting is of Sinhagad at sunrise, one of the many forts. Loosely tranlsated, the verse means:

Mountain, valley and forest dense

Friend of Shivaji, the magnificent Sahyadri

Sheer drops, deep crevices and the special forts

Unusual supports are they, of the Self Rule

The Mountain Top

Dizzying heights with sheer drops
Boulders piled on rugged rocks

Here I stay, above it all

That's my home, the mountain top!

A River In Spate

The heavy rains and cloudy skies

Swelling waters by mountain sides

Raging ahead, the river in spate
Taking away, all in its wake!

Approaching Rains

The summer hot, dry and long
Brown and yellow, the mountain top
Arrive the clouds, with laden rains

To soothe it down, be fresh again!

A Walk in Peace

Steady mountains, oceans deep
Open skies and beaches free
Rocks and trees, with flowing winds

Amidst these all, a walk in peace

The River and The Mountain

As with time, the river flows
Rains and summers, highs and lows
Aloof and calm, standing tall

The mountain steady, weathers all

Mountain Tall

Strong and sturdy, Mountain tall
Highs and lows, above it all
Rain or sun, come what may
Always ready for the next day
