Zen Poem

[aashishameya]

Unaware of myself
Deep in the ocean
I search for a pearl
On the surface of the water
Sun rays are dancing and shimmering

[symphony]

deep down the blue
down the blue deep
a shimmering white innocence
a mere dot of tear
born in burning pain
shines bright
shines white.

and who could tell
and who would tell
if the beam of light gives out its glory
or its glory gives out the beams!

hell! how can u ever stem that flow?!
damned good one, ashisha!
one thing though- the statements "Deep in the ocean" and "I search for a pearl On the surface of the water" sounds contradictory, was it intensional?

[aashishameya]

u took it wrongly, deep in the ocean i am searching pearl
and on the surface of water sun rays are dancing and shimmering

[symphony]

oh!
thats what happens when everything's without punctuation marks! :( happens to me too often too.

Serenity

Calm, tranquil, aquamarine waters
Gently wash the forests of multicolored coral.
Within this highly complex society,
Each individual member
Has a sense of purpose—
Of belonging…
Here there are no gunshots,
No screams—
No sirens.
In this world there is no place for senseless violence,
For hatred—
For mistrust.
My mind softly flows down through the azure liquid,
Stretching out to the fantastic formations of coral.
“Come…” I whisper.
“Let us be one…”
