Reluctance

Added on:3/31/2008 | In Other

Out through the fields and the woods
And over the walls I have wended;
I have climbed the hills of view
And looked at the world, and descended;
I have come by the highway home,
And lo, it is ended.


The leaves are all dead on the ground,
Save those that the oak is keeping
To ravel them one by one
And let them go scraping and creeping
Out over the crusted snow,
When others are sleeping.


And the dead leaves lie huddled and still,
No longer blown hither and thither;
The last lone aster is gone;
The flowers of the witch-hazel wither;
The heart is still aching to seek,
But the feet question 'Whither?'


Ah, when to the heart of man
Was it ever less than a treason
To go with the drift of things,
To yield with a grace to reason,
And bow and accept the end
Of a love or a season?

    Thoughts

     

    Once I was thinking re power of thoughts

    It took me deep into the ocean of thoughts

    To my enjoyment you know! What it brought?

    It turn me into heavenly space shuttle to start!

     

    My journey went on to ocean of thoughts!

    It amazed me and what a novel place it was!

    No where on earth it is, it will be, and it was!

    Everything was so disciplined than I thought!

     

    No makeover and pretension to be seen

    You meet and you see everyone is clean

    What a colorful place than I thought!

    It is me, my thoughts and it onslaught!

     

    If we apply, will open up spiritual lights

    And will lead us to new places to delight

    There are thousands of new world in space

    More beautiful than our earth to compare!

     

    We can reach there with power of thoughts

    Only courage of our wisdom needs to apply!

    Surprise now-a-days our thoughts are so dry

    Even it is within reach of you and me to try!

  • Hail Storm
    The last time my mother visited Cuba
    she found a car and driver to take her
    to the province of Las Villas, seven
    hours from Havana, and on the way
    it started to rain, and the driver, a young
    man kept telling her to relax, that this
    was the way it always rained in Cuba
    this time of year, and she kept telling
    him she wasnt a tourist, that shed been
    born here, and the driver drove on
    in the wolf-mouth-dark of the road,
    insects and sleet rain crossing the head
    lights, and my mother couldnt relax,
    and when it started to hail, fists pounding
    on the hood of the automobile, she
    panicked, prayed to the point she spooked
    the young driver into stopping by
    the side of the road, if only until the hail
    storm stopped, of only until her heart
    settled and she began to recognize
    that what was pounding the car wasnt
    ice balls, but her memories falling back,
    her life welcoming her where she belongs.
