Till it's far too late

I once knew the shadow filled skies were only a glimpse of what deceived my eyes,
how could i not see what i'd been told, how i never looked into the light, how i never was bold.
I'd seek down by lanes and allies of doubt, and look into an endless well of without,
what happened i saw, realized a few, cos there was no way out, only within the voice would go.
Oh mighty sky,Oh mighty ocean i plead, show yourself above the beauty i've seen, 
i've set foot in your wilderness, that's why every person had a nature.
Cos uniquely in us, nature opens our eyes, and shows us that we all exist as one, 
Absorb only love for all we have would be none, if we hadn't been shown the power of one.

As day passes by, we withdraw the shine, the sun seems pink and water flowing by.
I cannot see clearly, what twilight would bring to me, there is time for need but no time for greed.
I may not see what lies under the sand, but a glass pricks skin, and blood trickles into land.
And  with our pain comes darkness under a veil, look under look within, and reveal your sin.
 Maybe you'll find the spark in your eyes, maybe you'll spot the fall you're going to survive.
How it ends, has never been told. Patience my friend, let the story unfold.

I look again, into the reflections of my mind. It's just the kind of day to leave myself behind.
What now is, now is where we need to be. If you don't see don't plead to me.
I can only show you what i've seen with these eyes, but the mind knows and the mind listens.
With beautiful imagery it often glistens. What you see now will be the screen of your mind. 
Project none, and none shall be revived. There is no yesterday, there is no tomorrow, for they can only produce worry, and we have no time to drown in sorrow.

Sorrow yes we shall feel, with a mild dose of tears and maybe a few drops for fears.
I only show you what you will to know, for if i go too fast you might lose the flow.
This river is not endless, it's only yours to play. Enjoy it now, while you can see the string fray.
It withers and cuts along your dusty thoughts, it pierces through your rocks and it always wets your socks.
But yes you have been told, don't be afraid to be bold. 

The time will come when you shall see, there is you in me and there is me in you.
For all there is, is love in more than just a few.
The river may be alone and may lead down the valley, maybe climb fearless up the lifting peaks,
this shadow will remain, but you have lit the winning streak.
May your dust fall, may your river flow, for in the end , The ocean, is all it has to go.
And you shall be within.

A drop in the ocean.
And the ocean is in a drop,
 that's all there is to know.

I speak not clearly, as you shall decide. Whether we survive, whether we can hide.
If you can choose, then choose from heart, for only when we love, will we ever throw our first dart.
I will not speak, i will not whisper. 
I will not touch, i will only tighten the clutch.
And when we finally bloom, and enter the new light,
For the first time shall we see, a starry night that was meant to be.

I bow to the light in you.
Om Shanti, Shanti Om.

WE ARE CREATIVITY : WE ARE ONE


Oneness, we are one, all in all is all we are.
What does one mean by oneness?
It's making peace with the reality thats going around these days.
Peace isn't just non-violence, a world where there are no threats, a place where nothing goes wrong, no.
Peace comes from within.

Peace is living in the midst of whatever goes around, and still being calm inside.
Peace is love, peace is sharing, peace is caring, peace is connecting without dividing.
Maybe now we finally get what united we stand, divided we fall means.
United we stand as an expression all over the planet, sending a message to everyone.
The insignificance of individuality has to be understood, only then can we work on the gifts we haveas individuals to contribute to the immortal power of ONE.

Imagine theres no country, it isn't hard to do.
No hell below us, above us only skies.Imagine all the people, living life in peace.
You may say i'm a dreamer, but i'm not the only one.
I hope someday, you'll join us.
And the world will live as ONE.

Creativity crosses all boundaries and limitations.
There is no cast, no creed, no religion, no sex.
Creativity is a form of oneness, appreciated and absorbed by one and all.

In today's world, there is a lot of diversity, there are different sects, communities, countries and most importantly, different perspectives of different human beings.
The kind of diversity that exists is VAST.

What creativity, in various fields such as ART, POETRY, MUSIC, PHOTOGRAPHY etc. does is beautiful.
It's a phenomenon that doesn't happen anywhere else.
Different people, distinguished artists from all over the planet ( It's a planet, not a country, not the world, not an empire, It's mother Earth )just sit down, open their minds and do their thing.
They form a sort of platform for expression of their deepest conscious and sub-conscious thoughts, and throw them out on canvas, or music.Or just capture a breath taking beauty from their own eyes in the form of a photograph and then they circulate all over the planet! Or write with teary eyes of joy some thoughts which aren't just words on a paper, they're art at it's peak.

What does this have to say about the power of creativity?

The immense power of absorbtion through a piece of art may it be any form, happens without even a second thought.

You look at a painting, you hear a piece of music, you read a piece of poetry, you see a photograph and immidiately you take away an interpretation of what the artist might be trying to express.Yes, it's your own imagination leading you to interpret a work of art, but the imagination is boundlessand does not differenciate between culture, cast, religion etc.You just take away a message as beautiful as what the artist intended to potray.

Isn't that beautiful?

CREATIVITY is the only form of message that people all over the planet live and think through,joining hands from all over and sharing a message of beauty.
That's the power of creativity.
Where no one divides, and everyone survives, together.
As ONE.

So let us all join our hands together, and spread the message of the power of being one.

CREATE.
IMAGINE.
EXPAND.
EXPRESS.
SPREAD.
