Sweet Smile

 

Is taken for granted

Never understood for the depth and meaning it has.
 
Delivered using muscles more and heart less,

For the sake of formality more and for the sake of joy less.

 

It seems so tough to smile as

Mind chooses to remember the wrong,

Ego can’t love anyone but itself,

Melancholy wins over celebration,

Heart yearns to love but the mind refuses to forgive,

One chooses to keep the hatred and fear in others alive,

Without which one’s own fears and doubts surface,

And in many a person

Intelligence thinks to itself whether the world is worthy of a smile now.

 

But a smile when genuine can

Convey the message of the heart through the eyes,
Remove the awkwardness of the moment,
Replace doubt with faith,
Eases the tension in the air,
Bring a smile on another’s face,
Make the existing bonds stronger,
 
Make even a stranger, a friend,
Can dissolve the boundaries if any between you and me

Become a prayer that is silent but is filled with so much meaning.

Body

Body is a special gift But taken for granted Made a slave by the mind When abused boomerangs on the mind And.. Age may tone down Both body and mind But the intelligence when nurtured Will guide us in the knowledge that Change is but inevitable Eventually.. Where it came from It will head right back there But stays a faithful companion In this journey of life So.. Let's respect our body like divinity Treat it with dignity Listen to it in silence Respond to it by speaking its language Let's love our body like our life It began with life, Ends with life And made us believe for a long time while the intelligence slept That it is "I" :-)
