********************
I wanna be the fragrance of flower;
powerless, and yet full of power.
I wanna be the song of a bird;
singing, and yet never heard.
I wanna be the sigh of wind,
to help tired souls unwind.
I wanna be the hiss of a stream,
to push their hopes upstream.
I wanna be the smile of an infant
and the untiring spirit of an ant.
I wanna be a kid's mirth from its toy
and its parents' tears of joy.
I wanna be the crescent of the moon
and the warmth of sun on a cold noon.
I wanna be a star in the skies,
and a soaring eagle as it flies. I wanna unload my past
and truly live until I last.
I wanna live in the present
and make most of every moment.
I wanna get rid of my fear today.
To all, I wanna be near and dear today.
I wanna be the quenched thirst today
and the soothing shade of tree today.
I wanna stretch my limits today.
I wanna break the rules today.
I wanna be everything that is good today
and make the world a better place today.

Nice thoughts.. and because I'm presently under the
strong influence of the books "conversation with God" what I had look to say is ..
You don't have to want to be something.. the act of 'wanting" is exactly xeroxed by
the universer, and you actually keep wanting all of this.. that's what your desired..
You are already all of this..
You are already full of bliss,
You are already the good and the bad,
You are already the happy and sad,
You are already fragrance in flower,
You are already with God's power!
You are already everything you want to be,
All you need is just an awareness,
That you are not far from Godliness!
You are God youself,
Tend your Higher Self.
That's the God in you!
It's only true!
Superb man ……..just bang the floor of poetry…………..:)
Nice one…It woke me up…gave me a positive feeling…
I wanna unload my past
and live until I last.
I wanna live in the present
and make most of every moment.
My thinking is never forget past .. Be it good .. Be it bad ….. Be it happiness…. Be it sorrow ….. It depends how you see it ….. So no unloading of past …… rest is good …..
Hi Kamlesh,
Happy Gujarat Day.
Hey, I always wondered and tried to figure out how you get to write these pretty little sentences that represent our thoughts in our real life. I always read twice your sentences, not that I don't understand, but to extract the inner meaning in it, and I do it to analyse what motivated you to weave those sentences in such short duration.
Great work Kamfucious.
Kamlesh,
Awesome, your poems have heart.
its an excellent one...
not getting right words to appreciate...
good going ... keep it up
Very very nice.
Dont have words to write more about it.
Looks like you 'wanna break free' ;)
And hey on your poem, I have some doubts:
A bird's singing and not being heard doesnt directly relate
to you wanting to be its flight....maybe if you wanted to be its voice?
I mean, the flower thing has a co-relation while the bird thing doesnt.
What was your viewpoint when you wrote this?
Similarly not sure abt the hiss of a stream pushing hopes upstream.
Dont want to get into the poet's mind, but just curious anyway.
Kamlesh,
It’s a nice one. It has got good thoughts communicated in a simple way.
nice one! very refreshing
