We, The Five Elements

By Mukesh Gujral

Not able to sleep a wink last night

While trying to figure out

Who you are …

Just a cool Breeze?

Or nothing but Fire

Like a Burning Desire

At times, the Water element in you,

Flows like a Cascade

Dancing its way to the Ocean

Overcoming every resistance and emotion

Like a Soul trying to break free

As if a seed sprouting out of a tree

And now it’s the element of Sky

Embracing the Earth & the Oceans

Playing with its waves of Love & Emotion

Suddenly

I see the lightning strike a Thunder

Over a Forest that makes me wonder

From where it brings

The showers of Love & the seeds of Joy

That makes a Flower bloom

With a fragrance to enjoy

This Light & Sound show

Touches me with awe & Wonder

I can sense the smell of its Art & Splendour

All this makes me realise myself and ponder

Could we listen through our eyes?

And see through our blunders

Just imagine all this to be …

A Matrix in the Sky

Or maybe it’s a journey of transformation

From a caterpillar to a butterfly

Isn’t it funny to see?

By one & all …

If we can chose to fly,

Why choose to crawl …?
