Alice's poem


A boat, beneath a sunny sky
Lingering onward dreamily
In an evening of July--

Children three that nestle near,
Eager eye and willing ear,
Pleased a simple tale to hear--

Long has paled that sunny sky:
Echoes fade and memories die:
Autumn frosts have slain July.

Still she haunts me, phantomwise.
Alice moving under skies
Never seen by waking eyes.

Children yet, the tale to hear,
Eager eye and willing ear,
Lovingly shall nestle near.

In a Wonderland they lie,
Dreaming as the days go by,
Dreaming as the summers die:

Ever drifting down the stream--
Lingering in the golden gleam--
Life, what is it but a dream?

--Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland

I believe...

I believe in the sun
Even though it's slow in rising
I believe in you
Even without realizing

Ho pyaar mein jo hausla
Kadmo pe tere ho jahaan
Ho pyaar mein jo hausla
Kadmo pe tere ho jahaan

I believe in the sun, even though it's slow in rising
I believe in you, even without realizing
I believe in the rain, though i see no cloud in the sky
I believe in truth, even though everybody lie

I believe in love (I believe in love)
Even though people live hatred
I believe we have the power to forgive
I believe in love (I believe in love)
Even though people live hatred
I believe we have the power to forgive

Hum bhi toh hain iss jahaan mein
Pal bhar sahi tere dastaan mein
Kyun hai abhi faaslaa...
Hai pyaar mein jo hausla

Hum bhi toh hain iss jahaan mein
Pal bhar sahi tere dastaan mein
Kyun hai abhi faaslaa...
Hai pyaar mein jo hausla

Ho pyaar mein jo hausla
Kadmo pe tere ho jahaan
Ho pyaar mein jo hausla
Kadmo pe tere ho jahaan

I believe in Love (I believe in love)
Even though people live hatred
I believe we have the power to forgive
I believe in Love (I believe in love)
Even though people live hatred
I believe we have the power to forgive

I believe in peace
Even though the world is violent
I believe in God
Even though he is silent

Twilight Walk

When darkness streaks across the sky
And colours change to muted greys
And distant rain-clouds ride the hills
As nature’s kaleidoscope displays
The symphony of early night
And silhouetted birds in flight
Their distant cries echoing still
I stand and watch their wings, until
The very last is lost to sight,
Heralding approaching night;

And in that most exquisite space
Through and around my trees, I trace
That wondrous pathway, worn in youth
When all I knew was love and truth
And wandered freely, free from fear
That there was any danger near,
For when among creation’s bloom
What reason should I fear the gloom?

The Weird World.

I've seen castles made out of sand,
Met people who believe destiny is engraved on the palms of their hand.

I've seen people change their faith,
Experienced love changing into hate.

I've seen people grow younger with age,
and a bird who wouldn't fly out of Open cage.

I've seen love being sold for money,
People devastated inside, but outside they are funny.

I've seen the Unicorn fall in Love with the toad,
People who owned half the city now hit the road.

I've learnt to expect the unexpected,
Perfection doesn't exist, we are all defected.

Everyone cries, some just hide their tears,
Coal turns into Diamond after thousand years.

For someone, you are Just One in a MILLION,
and
For others, you are another nobody in BILLION.
