Imagination: the workshop of mind

All the noble creations that have made

Into existence; and all deeds of affection-

Love, victories, inventions and innovations that haven’t fade,

Are brought up by the blessed virtue of imagination.

All the wondrous things-

Men have landed upon skies,

And all the triumphs and glories that lies-

He is flying across clouds, like those with wings,

With it, nothing remains that bound,

For travelling several times the speed of sound;

And analyzing far off things- all that like a lift

Is brought into existence, by this god’s greatest gift.

For , imagination is like a shop-a workshop of mind,

Where desires of any degree or kind

Are revealed and sculptured to reality;

If, with determination and plans, stuck to that find.

It lacks reasons to worry,

For mankind has discovered the most real solutions,

Of its most difficult situations,

In the most depressed ages;

And, for the most ferocious cages,

It all rests upon the great subconscious mind,

Being him so powerful and if deserved, kind-

That’ll never let one be in a hurry.

For instance, to the glory of imagination-

Newton thought of travelling upon light

And with determination, plans and might,

He gifted to this world, some great inventions.

A November Thursday Evening

Today, it seems so boring, especially when you have no sorts of fun and enjoyment at weekend. Suddenly, an incident flashed onto my mind; it was about 13^th November 2014, my dad’s birthday. I’ve been planning for that day, since some days; when his date of birth sparkled to my brain. I was very keen and excited, but being a teenager, I couldn’t do much for him. So, at last, but not the least, I decided to compose for a rhyme for him.

The following were engraved onto paper by my hands:-

“To the most loving and caring,

In whose memory, blessings to god for my wellness lay,

Who always dreams to see me happy and laughing,

To that great man, it’s my fortune to say—

In this winter night; when winds are crept chilling,

With warm wishes, HAPPY BIRTHDAY.”

At about 2130 hours, when my homework and some learning had quite finished, I decided to post that to his timeline, as, you know, I was quite a bit shy, presenting that thing straight forward to him.

When I demanded his iphone, -as my PC had been quite offended- his first question, at the moment of my request was, “why do you want this? It seems only for the wastage of time; that doesn’t fits well to the frame for a student, like you. Tell me what’s the matter; if it seems genuine, that would be handover to you. But first, give me the reason.”

Hearing this, my heart’s island that was being blessed by the gentle ray of hope and happiness were seemed to disappear off from eyes, as now clouds of doubts seems to snatch that light; and from them, rains of despair and lose were glancing; preparing to fall as aggressively- for to be sculptured into a tornado that could destroy the shore off, leaving all my dreams broken and all my faith; shattered.

But, I can’t blame him- or anyone in this world- but I want to thank god, so as he gave to me, someone that cares so to me, of whose love and affection had so far been protecting me from the evils of this world, and in whose shade I’d been my life with all greatest pleasures, acquiring all the wishes and happiness that exist.

But still, I can’t wind up the needed courage and ability to reply genuinely to his question, but with a burning desire, to at least wish him through my rhyme, my mind went busy after thinking; for a couple of seconds, and I said, “it’s a matter of great deal, papa. I’d to hangout with some very important tasks, that I can’t tell you now, but you would soon know, what the matter all about is.”

My dad, being well aware of my habit of asking his phone and then being busy for a great deal of time, in chatting, hangouts with friends, updating status, and all sorts of things, replied in an elderly manner, “You doesn’t seems to make a good use of assets.” After saying this, he went on to sleep; for the wall clock was ticking around 11 PM on its face, the time had became of taking a long nap, especially when someone got tired from the great deal of work involved.

Then, the scene went awkwardly changed, I tell, I used to be quite a bit emotional, I was very keen to wish him through virtual world, but now, it can’t be done, just ‘cause I’ve not told him the reason for my demand. My father is an awesome person; his innocence, attitude, personality, just can’t be described in any book in words; through any pen.

But sometimes, my mind seems to become more than “enough” emotional; I became sad of that incident, as I can’t wish birthday to the person I loved most. I straight went on for a sleep. In that solitary, dark room, I was laid flat on the bed, trying to stop my emotions to come out as tears off my eyes. After a minute or two, I felt someone’s touch, I rubbed off tears from my eyes and then imitated as if I had slept. Then someone woke me up; it was my dad.

He asked, “Have you taken your supplements?”

I replied, “No.”

He said, “Okay then, take them..... Eh, wait a second, i’m bringing that for you.”

Then he came back, watching me with his innocent eyes; waiting for me to take them from him and eat them. After i’d taken them all, he went to bed for sleep. Instantly, my emotions had changed to that of happiness, and my mind, that was confused within its thoughts few minutes ago, relaxed.

At that night, i really understood his presence, for i was just a teenager, who really can’t measure the depths of love of him for me.

The greatest mistake of my life- school

Like all,

I went to school;

But I’ve nothing left.

I’ve remained not greater than a fool.

The Latin grammar and annual Brazilian rainfall—

All have I memorized;

But now-nothing remains on this earth;

To show others-that could I have seized.

Over the past days,

I was thinking about the mistakes that I made;

Being unaware of the reason;

For all my dreams had fade.

Bit by bit—

Things revealed to me—

Now I could realize that the school

Was the main reason behind it.

School only teaches how to become a good servant;

With students being unaware how to earn money;

Still an increasing number are sent;

Being all this absolutely funny.

People learn through loses, through mistakes;

But punishments are given in school;

To those who commit mistakes—

This is absolutely not so cool.

Most of people, going to school;

Would be remembered;

For a decade or two,

All this, they have deserved.

Most of the “good students”;

Would be remembered;

Only because they were good persons,

But, this won’t be desired.

Perhaps, that’s the main reason;

Why people are rich or poor;

Going to school, and then, lifetime, a servant!

That’s the main fusion.

Now things would be better

And more cool—

‘Cause I’ve understood;

The greatest mistake of my life- school.

Gold and Brass

Tongue- a virtue

On which one’s image is displayed,

A thing by which;

Respect gets fade or made.

Lost fame never comes again;

While it takes much time to gain;

Trying to get lost gives nothing,

Except grief, pain and sets in vain.

A slight mistake could be a difference between;

A future bright;

And sorrowful;

Dark night.

But, situations are not  to be blamed;

As precious diamonds of soul;

Tackles times of grief and sufferings;

Being opposite to inexpensive coal.

It’s the brass that changes its color—

Sometimes yellow green or blue;

But gold remains unaffected;

That’s why it has value.

Between Heaven and Hell

In this temporary home,
God has made everyone equal,
Then, why the difference
Originated as good or dull?

Why is it that
One is sad;
Other is happy,
Someone is good, other is bad?

One is living in a life

Going well ‘n’ fair,
Other is just waiting to die;
And is in dark despair?

Many think; luck or chance,

Is shaping everything,
But it’s not true,
They are nothing.

Newton gave the law—

Every action has equal ‘n’ opposite reaction,
It’s true for everything—
Even for each thought and every action

Situations in real life;

Are crafted by our thoughts;
For, one only got; what,
He brought.

Every second, minute or an hour,
That we think, we react;
Shapes our future;
Not goanna be too far.

It couldn’t be just a co-incidence

That 96% of world’s total wealth;
Is owned by population’s 1% people
But it makes real sense.

That’s why it is said,

No one ever got more than deserved;
No one is actually fed;
More than he has served.

Being positive and confident

Can be a difference between heaven and hell;
A difference between,
Living in despair and a life well.

When thoughts of happiness rejoice;

People could achieve their aims,
Also could earn respect, popularity and fame;
By this world’s greatest secret.

Appearances Are Deceptive

In this diversity- rich world;
People are of various kinds,
God has sent them with;
Unique skills, abilities and minds

But, many are here;
With mindfulness, bare;
hose judge others through their appearance;
With this being totally unfair

For, the books are not judged,
On the basis of their cover;
As, the most weary and untidy one;
Could be most precious for ever

Also, every shining thing can’t be gold,
It could be a galvanized iron; old,
Being appearances deceptive;
It would help to earn much, when sold.

The Unpredictable Treatise:- Education

In this world many are sent;

Who arose and died,
Still the human is different;

By whom, this Earth is now seized.

He made use of many resources;

And become educated;

By many sources;

He learnt with patience and keenness.

But nowadays,

People have forgotten meaning of education;

Giving excuses by different ways;

To this hereditary from father to son.

It doesn’t only mean the damn studying;

With no interest and boredom;

Education is not limited to things some;

But is a vast unpredictable thing.

One never gets fully educated;

As it is rightly said:

“People learn things till death,

That can’t be preached before the time of death.

Academic education is only a part;

Of one’s total treatise;

Life gives many experiences;

Of whose teachings are unthinkable as the skies.
