Stillness

Stillness

========

Life is neither still

Nor does anybody wants it to be

Still like a dead wood

Pebbles of grief sorrow happiness

Desires people events happenings

Keeps stirring life’s still water

Pushes the stillness

Out of the periphery of silence

Death is the only happening

Which welcomes the stillness?

Pushing emotions desires

Away from life

Silences the heart and mind

To a peaceful rest

I shall not react

I shall not react

To your shouting

My silence says

More than your words

It hurts you

You want me to react

And reply to

What you say

You want to

Satisfy your ego

If I reply

You will try to

Shout me down

A false sense of victory

Shall be seize you

You shall become more

Arrogant

I do not want to see

Your arrogance increasing

It shall make your life

Miserable

I want to see you happy

My silence shall

Hurt your ego

More than it hurts my feeling

Slowly you will learn

What you could not achieve

By anger

I achieved by silence

Dr.Rajendra Tela,Nirantar 

Arrogance v/s silence

To provoke him

I ridiculed him

Laughed at his clothes

Made a mockery of

His personality

Made faces at him

Said nasty things

To hurt his feelings

He smiled and kept mum

Did not utter a single word

That made me angry

Increased my arrogance

I abused him

He kept his cool

Fed up

With his cool behavior

Ultimately asked him

Why is he not reacting?

He did not reply

Just walked away

Smiling

Made me think

My best efforts

Could not provoke him

Whereas his silence

Irritated and provoked me

Made me behave

Like an animal

What I could not achieve?

By anger and arrogance

He achieved by silence

Silence of the night haunts me

Silence of the night

Haunts me

Makes dreaded noise

In my mind

The darkness

Creates ripples

In the heart

I patiently wait

 For the night to pass

Let the morning light

Engulf the dark night

Change my fate

Free me from miseries

Bring hope and desires

To the turbulent life

Let peace and solace

Come

Bring calmness

To the heart and mind

Your silence does not surprise me

Your silence

Does not surprise me

Inability to meet me

Is keeping you away

From saying anything to me

I know

You have tried your best

Without any success

Nobody has bothered

Nobody has listened to you

Distance between us  

Has not decreased

Agony on both sides

Day by day has increased

Left without any option

Talking or speaking

Would not solve the

Problem

Life now has to be lived

 Like dead

Gracefully
Accept the poison of

Separation

Remaining silent
