A Billion hopes
Align with a single thought
Ignited straight
From the heart.
Can we make it
To the other side?
Or lurk in the darkness
Forever, till we are gone?
This is a war
Of all of us
A war of light against
Darkness!

Your First step outside
To a familiar realm
Like a forlorn child
In the womb
Ecstatic to be born again
A new world
Whose serene beauty
Warms and caress
Your restless face
And your tormented core
Yes you are
Enchanted towards
This Majestic nature
And being euphoric
To step outside again

Sick, suffocating
The world looks so gloomy
With the congestion inside
Am I seeing clear blue skies
And fresh air soothing
The creatures outside?
Maybe I’ve built a barrier
Hindering the winds
To cleanse my inside

Far from their families
For the sake of humanity
Angels are working
To keep the hopes alive
Hiding their bruises
Itching their burns
They are walking on embers
To keep the hopes alive
Gods among us
The sages of humanity
Sacrificing their lives
On the alter of humanity
Their stories will be told
Their tale of sacrifice
Forever they will be remembered
As Angels of humankind
(These Angels are Doctors, Health workers, officials and Bankers)

Desolation engulfs
Streets of the concrete jungle
Nature is healing

Resting on a dusty shelf
Leading a life of a recluse
I am waiting for you
To uncover me and embrace
I’ve seen you come and go
Encapsulated in your struggles
Drenched and lost in your life’s web
Time has come to embrace me
In this state of Delirium
Pick me up and set me free
I will guide you towards light
I am your spiritual Ecstasy
Yes, don’t ignore me now
I am your delight, waiting
To be uncovered
On a dusty and humid shelf

We may not
Hold each other’s hands
We may not
Meet or greet
But there’s a way
We can feel
Through a divine connection
Across the oceans and seas
Let’s mourn together
For all the deaths
Against an invisible enemy
Let’s pray together
In this moment of solidarity
Yes we are connecting
Through our hearts
Electronically!
Stay safe everyone!

Is this a dream
Or I am fading
Into a world
On the other side
Rays of a star
Sneaking from behind the trees
As I lay on the grass with
The scent of roses and lilies
Squirrels are dancing
Butterflies are fluttering
On a symphony of a breeze
Flowing from a nearby river
As I flow through this meadow
I try to fix my broken pieces
But this breeze is whispering
Me to let the pieces be free
And flow with the breeze

Under the bright blue sky
Among the restless, worried souls
I walk alone
With a fearless mind
Fear riding the cool breeze
Sweeping the entire city
As I walk alone
Relentless against this chill
I am a loner
My solitude is my immunity
Against an invisible enemy
Which is losing against me

Do you see?
Rays of the Sun
Blushing to see no one
In a solitary city
Do you see?
Struggle of life
To grab hold of
The only remains of hope
Do you see?
What I see
My last few breaths
Fighting on the edge
Losing drop by drop
Struggling to seek happiness
Should I set myself free
from this earthly bond?
Now I see,
The other side
Vaporised to see the brightness
Of my life beyond
