One of the places in my list of places to see !

I Believe 

I believe in the supreme worth of the individual and in his right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

I believe that every right implies a responsibility; every opportunity, an obligation; every possession, a duty.

I believe that the law was made for man and not man for the law; that government is the servant of the people and not their master.

I believe in the dignity of labor, whether with head or hand; that the world owes no man a living but that it owes every man an opportunity to make a living.

I believe that thrift is essential to well ordered living and that economy is a prime requisite of a sound financial structure, whether in government, business or personal affairs.

I believe that truth and justice are fundamental to an enduring social order.

I believe in the sacredness of a promise, that a man's word should be as good as his bond; that character -- not wealth or power or position -- is of supreme worth.

I believe that the rendering of useful service is the common duty of mankind and that only in the purifying fire of sacrifice is the dross of selfishness consumed and the greatness of the human soul set free.

I believe in an all-wise and all-loving God, named by whatever name, and that the individual's highest fulfillment, greatest happiness, and widest usefulness are to be found in living in harmony with His will.

I believe that love is the greatest thing in the world; that it alone can overcome hate; that right can and will triumph over might.

in the hills, once again i stand,

blue from far, and near green;

a portrait, from nature's hand,

colors, everywhere to be seen.

what, but their beauty does mean,

unless by my angel's eyes, seen!

on the golden sea shore i stroll,

gentle waves wrapping my feet;

the blue sky, as if melts and fall,

like the beloveds meet.

 

the golden sand is, but full of gloom,

i pine for your touch, like burning June!

yet, near me always you are,

in busy streets, and lonely palms;

i try to escape, far and far,

only to find me, in your invisible arms.

seems, i behold that eternal creed

always where, we meet.

few bangles, of wooden chips together glued

hands clutched them tight, flowers and thorns alike

eyes of morning prayer, protrude

she touched God, to make him alright

her feet like a cloud, with darkness-filled

 her sunken cheeks, like a dead volcanoes mouth

clutching a thunderous bolt of love it seemed

she put the flowers and left, with God her thought

the silence of this night is dancing

like the first rain kisses the fluttering leaf.

the rhythm of memories embracing

its stillness, wrapping it in the sweet grief. 

sounds of your laughter sings inside

the trapped life in my heart bleeds away.

somewhere far away, i want them to hide

touched by the absence, kissed by your sway.

back to the ways

His future lay in his heart,

bonded by pain and filled up with void

his eyes saw only the dust,

senses dancing away, as if to avoid

many a times he dipped his hands inside,

the darkness could never be swept away

empty hollow cries came up beside,

he kept watching  soul's foul play

sunrise and sunset, seawaves and blue sky,

came and went, along with his life

answers sometimes but, passed him by,

and yet again he continued his strife.
