NOW IS ETERNITY

    NOW IS ETERNITY 

I live in the now and now lives in me
It is now that masquerades as the me
It is eternal and neither space nor time
Exist outside of it for it contains all
It is this moment where life happens
And is the only moment that forever exists
It has neither birth nor does it ever die
It is not an existence which is perishable
Nor is at an emptiness which is a mere void
It has no color or form and enjoys no pleasure or suffers no pain
It is the limitless container for it has no boundaries
And the world arises and subsides in it.
I am that and the world arises when I am in movement
And disappears when I am at rest.

N.S.Ramesh

THE SEEKER

  What is it that  I want? Seen it all to the mind's content  Yet I roam like the wind Not knowing where to go I have seen only petty pleaures That touch the heart but never fill it So transient and yet they repeat themselves  And bring only remorse and no fulfillment  Man's soul is pure and remains untouched The mind is fraught with desires unfulfilled  And he rummages like the musk deer Not knowing what he seeks is seeking him Mesmerised by all that appears, just a fleeting picture He knows not what the source of all appearance is And yet seeks and seeks till his last breath  Then wisdom dawns, that the seeker is the sought. N.S.RAMESH (poem)

A BROKEN TREE

      A BROKEN TREE A broken tree, which once had stood with pride Now ravaged by the onslaught of nature Has a lone flower sprouting from it With bright red petals and full of grace Standing amidst the broken ruins Tilting its face to blossom in sunshine Cheering the morning with its blushes Saying that nothing is broken forever Every life that has once been broken Can mend itself with love and hope A lesson learnt from the broken tree. N.S.Ramesh  (Poem)
