Stillness of Life !

At a medical school, I saw..
A body of a dead man
All around me were blades sharp,
Ready to cut him open bare and study...

Moving with life was he, a day before
Now, still & life-less on the table
Life do we all study;
With his stillness... What an irony !

Life's all about movement
Actions, activities & travel..
are we all fond of, while alive
Movement indeed is thought & emotion

Relate do we all in movement
All levels of relationships..
Be it with one's Self,
Or with another, or with Nature
All based on movements indeed

Does a zone of stillness exist?
While we're alive, not dead :)
Ceasing all movements..
Movements of thought, action & care
Can one relate or emote
From this zone of stillness ?

For this movement of life..
Is the movement of Stillness !
Is that so? .. think for yourselves ! :)

Only Love's in the Air !

Insensitive are we all
to the vivid love in the air

Just be open & innocent,
For every single moment brings surprises
A surprising love that pervades

A hungry crow calls in the distant
All its friends gather & feast

As the evening Sun sinks down
A triumphant dog runs across with a food packet

A cool breeze gently kisses your forehead
After a hectic day's work

A bed of scented flowers for you to walk on!
Made ready by a shedding tree

People unknown pour their hearts out
As a waiter, a watchman, a driver or a vendor

The list goes endless..
For this all-pervading love,
Cannot be boxed in words mere

Every movement around you
Visible or imperceivable by your senses
Arises from a zone of Life, zone of Love alone !
Just watch carefully & feel it

A kind of stillness, a kind of life, a kind of love
Is all there IS....

Actions ARE from Stillness

Stillness is what we are
All actions through the body..
Be it working, talking or helping
And the mind's actions too..
Be it thinking, worrying or analyzing
All arise from a stillness..
A stillness called, 'Life'

Noises do we identify with
Both the inner & outer noises
Conditionings, goals, gossips..
Fears, worries and so on
Every moment, forget not..
To observe the source..

Is this source 'Silence'?
'Stillness', 'Beauty'?
'Love', 'Innocence', 'Grace'?

Let's observe; O! dear friend
Let's touch base with this Silence,
With this Stillness..
That's 'Life' itself...

Words indeed appear absurd and vague,
To frame this 'aliveness', 'life', 'love'
into a shareable experience
:-) :-) :-)
