Haikus....Self and Life....

SELF...

Buried, deep beneath
The many layers of complexities
Lies the real self...


Seek the Divine...
Desire to merge ...
With the One True Self....


Who is the I?
What is the Self?
But an illusion.


LIFE....


Life beckons...
With the sweetness of nectar
Reach out, my friend.


Life beckons...
Out of a parched land...
A tender shoot struggles forth....


Life...is only a breath ...
Exhale, and fade into oblivion...
Death, a new beginning...

    seek the divine was my favorite one so far.. :) cheers..
