death is all i see

beautiful and magnificent  

death is all i see

he takes my pain away

he sees through my soul

death is all i see

someday we will meet

but until then i will watch  

silently, wishing to be so close

Your poem is simple to read and understand, the subject of death is a universal theme for all humans,hence I wish ti highlight the significance of birth and death of all who are born to live, die in this world.

Depression means feelings of severe despondency and dejection. Fear on death and its self related doubts creeps in and that swiftly leads to a heavy depression among youngsters, Depression is also linked with melancholy, misery, sadness, sorrow and gloominess. The best remedy is mediation or involving in prayers.

Roze Maria’s short poem speaks on the after effects of this kind of depression.

Depression is a state of low mood and aversion to activity that can affect a person's thoughts, behaviour, feelings and sense of well –being. People with depressed mood can feel sad, anxious ,empty, hopeless, helpless, worthless, guilty, irritable, ashamed or restless, They may lose interest in activities that were once pleasurable, experience loss of appetite or overeating, have problems concentrating, remembering details or making decisions, and may contemplate, attempt or commit suicide, excessive sleeping , aches, pains, digestive problems or reduced energy may also be present. Depressed mood is a feature of some psychiatric syndromes such as major or minor depressive disorders, but it may also be a normal reaction to life events such as grief, a symptom of some bodily ailments or a side effect of some drugs and medical treatments.

Dear Poetess Roze Maria, please accept my congratulations for depicting a life situation through your above poem, keep writing more and more.

Regards & Love

POET'S PEN:WILLIAMSJI WRITES ON MAAYA DEV'S POEM FIREFLIES OF TIME

POET'S PEN

WILLIAMSJI MAVELI 

writes on Maaya Dev’s poem: 

Fireflies of Time

_____________________________

Fragments of moment
paddling swift and frenzy
through layers of present.
Filaments of passing time
wafting in evanescence
to get folded in the memory.

(Our inability to face the uncertainty of the future is for the present moment in life. Our curiosity on life time and optimism on future will never tally at times.)

Oh fragile life!
You are the remnants
etched in the illusion
squeezing frail reality
from misty ruckus
in mysterious shade.

(We all possess an easily breakable grip on reality of this earthly life and scattered  or dissatisfied love, the word “fragile life “ is well depicted as Poetess convey the message of temporary life here as a broken or damaged life-time)

Beneath azure sky
on the bank of transience
rest, numerous existence
embedded with myriad dreams
and shed desperate selves
as fireflies hugging flames.

 (It is only our faith that problems can be solved, differences resolute or resolved. It is a type of confidence. And it is fragile. It can be blackened by panic and false notion. The symbolic life span of fireflies has been well narrated within this stanza, congrats to honorable Poetess Maaya Dev)

Science has much to contribute to our understanding of human genesis.  Indeed, it is the science which has enabled us to explore the fascinating findings related to the residue and inherited records of our ancient ancestors.

Typically, the scientific answer to the question, ‘Where did human beings come from?’ is often met with explanations about evolution and natural selection. We are told that humans share a common ancestral heritage with apes and emerged from a primate past through a process of random genetic variations.

Human life is fragile and we are not at all guaranteed for a tomorrow, hence the firefly’s life time is being connected to that of the human. Just as treasures to live and let other to live are uncovered from the earth, so good value appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the mess of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of high caliber.

Honorable Poetess Maaya Dev, please accept my congratulations for sharing the above short poem for us, Good luck, may God bless your golden pen

" HARE KRISHNA “

from her anthology of verses:

 Shimmering Chimes”

Hare Krishna
A DEVOTIONAL POEM
BY POETESS MAAYA DEV
 

____________________________

How do I depict You with my little ability?
How do I comprehend my huge love?
I hold for You, beneath?
Words are unlimited, albeit,
it gets wedged in the maze.

(Poetess Maaya Dev is expressing her own dilemma on how to express her full pledged love and devotion to Lord Krishna, beautiful depiction, especially the usage of “ little ability” and “ hugs love “ Please note that Poetess says Lord Krishna is full of love like an ocean, whereas She in turn  express her little ability to depict His (God’s) Love. Excellent  expressions, Congratulations to honorable Poetess Maaya Dev)

In this vestige, transience
What makes life beauteous?
Worship for you is my robe
I love to wear with humility.
Krishna, You are my oxygen
I breathe all the while.
The moment I feel lifeless
I have only You as refuge.
Your name is my hymn
that restores life to normalcy

(Each of us is not the material physical body, but an eternal spirit soul, part and parcel of God Krishan as a whole)

Every time I meditate upon you
I feel a divine magical wand
resurface from nowhere.
There, I see a lucid reflection
Smiling at me from inner mirror.
There I see You! I see me!
Ah! I see me in you!
Hare Krishna !!

Honorable Poetess Maaya Dev gratefully and more gracefully acknowledge her anthology of poem titled “ Shimmering Chimes” to God Krishna, she is well immersed in the love and affection of Lord Krishna as she is a true devotee of Krishna, the God.

It is true that the more we hear on God Krishna, the more we become glorified and purified. Purification means freedom from the attacks of greed and passion, then we become peaceful and happy. The sacred book Gita and the Vedic interpretations enlighten us that we are not these momentary bits and pieces of human body parts, but spirit souls, or conscious entities, and that we can find genuine peace and happiness only in spiritual devotion to God Krishna. The Gita and other well-known world scriptures recommend that people joyfully chant God’s holy names, such as Krishna, Allah, and Jehovah. Krishna or God is known by many names, according to His diverse qualities, loving nature and tricks and the extent of the relationship, or realization of the devotee.  In the Bible he is known as Jehovah (“the almighty one”), in the Koran as Allah (“the great one”), in the Bhagavad-gita as Krishna, a Sanskrit name meaning “the all-attractive one.”

The ancient hymn as mentioned in the Vedic literature  Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare or  Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare is a transcendental sound pulsation. It purifies the mind and awakens the dormant love of God that resides in the hearts of all living beings.

 Anyone can take part in the chanting of Hare Krishna and learn the science of spiritual love of Krishna and all living entities by studying the Bhagavad-gita As It Is. This easy and practical process of self-realization will awaken our natural state of peace and happiness. By sincerely cultivating the authentic spiritual science of sanantana-dharma presented in the Bhagavad-gita and other Vedic scriptures, we can become free from anxiety and revive our natural state of pure, unending, blissful consciousness.

Each of us is not the material body, but an eternal spirit soul, part and parcel of God (Krishna). As such, we are all the eternal servants of Krishna and are interrelated through Him, our common father. This is our natural position but due to intensive long term association and identification with matter and materialism we have lost touch with our natural blissful position and eternal nature. We have simply become materialistic and as a result of this materialism and bodily identification we are frustrated in so many ways.

 The Veda’s explain that Krishna is the eternal, all-knowing, omnipresent, all-powerful, and all-attractive Personality of Godhead. He is the seed-giving father of all living beings and the sustaining energy of the universe. He is the source of all incarnations of God, including Lord Buddha and Lord Jesus Christ. We can perfectly understand the knowledge of self-realization through the instructions of a genuine spirituality which I consider the ideal philosophy is from Bhagavath Gita, Once you read and get familiar with the spiritual interpretations on God’s own love, then you will be free from selfish motives in this insane world.

Dear Poetess  Maaya Dev, please accept my sincere congratulations for depicting the image of God in the form of Krishna as I truly understand your philosophical approach through the above poetry, keep on pouring more devotional verses from your golden pen, may God bless you in your future writings.

Regards

POET'S PEN: WILLIAMSJI WRITES ON MAAYA DEV'S POEM, THE SOLITUDE

POET'S PEN

WILLIAMSJI MAVELI 

writes on Maaya Dev’s poem

The Solitude

 ______________________________________________________________________________

_____________________________

I am just wondering..
What is happening?
Oh! 'A UNION' is budding,
That looks promising!

(In any type of environment in our life, loneliness is a kind of pain and agony both physical as well as mental)

The embrace is surprising,
And aura seems comforting.
This 'BOND' I was longing,
Would savour its blending.

(Deep silence finds immense pleasure in its uniformity with cosmos even in a single entity. People with highest level of wisdom attained enlightenment through uses of spiritual rumination, depriving sensory input and bodily necessities, namely outside desire sought throughout social interaction)

It's presence is amazing,
I could feel it deepening.
It's silence is soothing,
I could hear it whispering.

(Solitude is the achievement of bliss from within, rather than seeking it in the external world.  Psychologically, introverted individuals require spending time alone away from people to recharge, or are simply socially indifferent might find it a pleasurable environment with solitary preoccupations)

It's caress is alluring,
I could sense it seducing.
It's touch is so caring,
I could share my feeling

(Solitude is not essentially a negative thought or concept, it is alluring and pleasure giving when taken into account on the basis of both human passion and lust)

It's serenity is enduring,
I could merge my being.
It's peace is enriching,
I could cleanse my thinking.

(Solitude can enlarge liberty and independence, and moreover, freedom from distractions has the potential to spark on creativity, excellent depiction of loneliness among human, Congrats dear Poetess Maaya Dev)

Simply I am enjoying,
what is happening,
Slowly, I am realizing,
'SOLITUDE' is mesmerizing!

(Seclusion is painful when one is immature, but delightful when one is more mature as well as more aged during twilight's of life)

Solitude-in both ways, positive and negative contributes different effects.  Much of the time, these effects and the longevity is determined by the amount of time a person spends in isolation.  The positive effects can range anywhere from more freedom to increased spirituality, while the negative effects are socially depriving and may elicit the onset of mental illness. While positive solitude is often desired, negative solitude is often involuntary or undesired at the time it occurs.

A person’s inspiration as well as imagination can be sparked when given freedom. Solitude can increase freedom and moreover, freedom from distractions has the budding to spark creativity.  Another proven benefit to time given in solitude is the development of self. When a person spends time in solitude from others, he may experience changes to his self-concept. Loneliness also provides time for thoughtfulness, growth in personal spirituality, and self-examination. In these situations, loneliness can be avoided as long as the person in solitude knows that they have meaningful relations with others. 

Loneliness expresses the soreness of being alone and solitude contributes the real glory of being alone. In solitude the mind grabs power and learns to lean upon it. I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so comfortable as solitude. Please accept my congrats dear Poetess Maaya Dev. May God bless your magic pen to pour more and more poems of this kind
