Sometimes I just,
Sit by myself.
Not doing anything but,
Just spending my time.

Gazing up at,
The sky and the clouds.
The birds flying by,
Even aeroplanes !

In the night,
The dark blue sky,
The bright yellow moon,
And the shinning stars !

The beauty of nature.
For us to,
Enjoy.

Bring peace,
To the mind,
And,
Joy to the heart.

Do you know,
How fortunate we are?

As all these
Wonders are,
Blessings from above!

For us to enjoy,
To be happy
In our lives.

To bring peace,
And
Joy to the world!

Endless thoughts
In my mind
Running fast
Like a fast
Moving train!

The past
Sweeps away
And the
Future is born.

I want to
Move on
Just like,
The train.

As time too,
Is running,
Like the train.

Some of the
Minds are
Not alert.
Not aware,
Of another’s thoughts!

Each one
Runs their own race.

Some are fast
And
Some are slow!

We each
Are born free souls
To run our race
In our own times.

Why do they not
Understand this?

~ Deepa Nilamani ~

For all the
Long hours
Of praying.

For all
What I have done
Given and shared.

For all the
Sacrifices
I have made.

For all the
Injustice and cruelty
I have tolerated.

For all the
Ingratitude
I have borne in silence,

A long awaited
Dream
Coming through!

I had to
Be patient
This I know.

At times of
Setbacks and
Let downs in life.

You have come
Giving me
Your Strength and
Love!

I need to always
Keep this in mind
That Almighty God,
Is taking care of me!

~ Deepa Nilamani ~

Some may think that,
That powers above,

Are untrue
Are mistaken,
Ever more.

To judge,
The powers above!

They watch over you,
Through,
Day and Night.

Whispers child,
That’s not right!

If there is
No time to pray,

Child,
Holier are,
The hands that help.

I ask not for,
Fancy things.
Those that,
We leave behind.

Guidance,
Every step of the way,
All I asked you,
Everyday!

Silently,
They watched over me
Hard work it was.

But
I went on
Ahead with
Faith and Hope!

Knowing
That through
Prayers

One is
Blessed!

True to the words,
Morning was born.

Bright as ever,
The sun came up,
Chasing,
The night,
Away from the light.

A new day,
A new life,
To Begin again.

With Deep Gratitude and,
Thankfulness,
I bow down to you!

~ Deepa Nilamani ~

Life can change,
Just overnight.

Just like the,
Seasons of,
Mother earth.

Just like,
Rain,
Ending the drought.
Bringing back,
Mother earth to life.

Human life too,
Bounces back,
As we are,
Part of mother earth.

Life works in,
Mysterious ways,
Suddenly things,
Come back to you.

At a time and ways,
You never thought,
Even more than,
You ever dreamt !!!

Precious and priceless,
Gifts so rare,
In the world,
None can compare.

Never to be,
Held back,
In selfish deeds.

Never to be,
Taken away from you.
But
To mend and
Heal

To share with,
Others
In
Their
Times of
Needs!

To light their paths,
In every way!

~ Deepa Nilamani ~

Against the dark skies,
Full of stars.
Face so fair,
Shining bright.

Looking down,
With eyes so deep,
But,
My Lord he does not,
Speak with me!!!

Who is this?
He asks.

Why!
Its the,
Man in the moon,
Don’t you know!

He has much,
Work to do.
In his own time,
Don’t you know!

Till then,
You have your own,
You know.
Stop fretting about and,
Let him be!

But my lord,
I most humbly ask,
What is this work,
You say I have!

I am impatient.
I need to know!

Impatience my child,
Does not go far.
Time will reveal,
What you need to know.

Patience my child,
Will take you far,
Trust, Faith and Loyalty.

Time to go now,
May blessings be!

Till then remember,
What helps you through,
Wisdom, Patience and,
Dignity!

~ Deepa Nilamani ~

When you are fallen and,
All alone.

Some of the others,
Leave you alone!

But God looks upon those,
Who do no wrong.

The weak and those,
Who are,
All alone.

He gives his hands,
To Rise up and Stand.

To get back,
On your feet,

To stand,
Tall and Strong!

~Deepa Nilamani ~

When I am alone,
I get this strange feeling,
That, I am not alone.

I almost sense him,
Moving around,
Almost as if,
He is around !

Will life bring us together again ?
To walk along the milky way,
Among the stars,
To eternity !
