12 months.. 12 journeys..12 stories

JANUARY

This world is all a mist,
a decorative veiling of the true.
Release the inhibitions from your fist,
a silent witness is waiting for you.

.....................................................................................................

FEBRUARY

for far away... I see that beam of light,
my virgin hope to end all the sorrow.

This flash is the vigor of my flight,
hermit inspiration for a bright tomorrow.

.......................................................................................................

MARCH

Every morning, it breaks through the window.
Spreads on the floor like a welcome mat.
Sets the air to the temperature of hope.
That light is the essence of life.

........................................................................................

APRIL

Awareness is the only end,

my license to be free.

Neither enemies nor friends,

I believe only what I see.

.............................................................................................................

MAY

As light fades away and fear gets the crowning,

and as you get engaged by thoughts gruesome and odd.

don't you forget...

with every sunset comes a promise of morning,

the light is the savior and language of God.

...................................................................

JUNE

Blood as the fuel…

and eyes as the glass;

With my heart on fire…

I am a lamp of my own class.

.................................................................................................................

JULY

journey as my destination ...

and universe as force,

that candle on the water ...

is my guiding source.

.....................................................................................................................

AUGUST

I absorb all hatred and blame,

willingly giving love and praise instead.

who am I ?

Nature is my name,

that drop of light is my bread.

................................................................................................................

SEPTEMBER

Dressed in darkness are doubt and fear,
but this time… I wont fall to their bait.

brightly lit and always near,
I have with me… a divine lamp called faith.

...............................................................................................................

OCTOBER

This pleasure is but a flicker.

Flickers distract, that’s all they do.

Close your eyes to see the light,

the light that is YOU.

...................................................................................................................

NOVEMBER

Ignorance, suffering and desire..
the devils that blur my goal.

Awareness is my new attire..
enlightenment shines my soul.

..........................................................................................................

DECEMBER

Beyond this gate are Air, Water,Sky and Earth...

such a beautiful view, certainly lots to admire.

The wind calls my name, to all its worth...

pledging me to crossover, and be the missing Fire.

Journey of Light

No matter how FAST you travel, you cannot beat light.

and man knows it since long

No matter how FAR you travel, you cannot beat light.

A fabulous year comes to an end. So fabulous it has been that I can only wish for a repeat in 2011. I celebrate the happy ending by designing a concept table calendar for 2011. The calendar is called 'Journey of Light' and is based on the same theme.

In all my travels, I have often realized that light has been both my friend and guardian. 'To follow the light' is the secret of success both literally and metaphorically. Through this calendar, I have tried to record various dramatic journeys that light indulges in. The twelve months are portrayed through twelve themed photographs accompanied by short poems, all of which has been created by me.
