Heybeliada

Sitting in the forest, looking at the setting sun,
With no humans around, not even one,
I see the sky and sea merge into each other,
So far from each other, but still together.

In this cacophony of seagulls and dogs barking,
and the surroundings darkening,
I wish I could be here forever
and this moment, oh mother nature!
Pauses, and never comes to an end.
Oh, if only this time cycle I could mend!

Everyone here seems to be at peace with each other,
A proof that we are all from the same mother.
If only it could be like this in the world outside,
And everything on the exterior is just like inside,
I wouldn't have to come so far away,
searching for a place where I could stay.

Story in their Eyes

The story said by their eyes,
are the mirror to the truth and the lies.
Fear, anger, pain, hope, forgiveness,
In what to others looks like mess.

Living in a world of their own,
Only seldom are they captured or shown.
What to others may seem as the worst possible life,
Is how these people for perfection strive.
These eyes which seem, for long have not had rest,
Are infact perfectly relaxed in their nest.
This nest of solitude and supreme inner knowledge,
which is on the earth's other extreme edge.
Where you and I can never reach.
So let us learn what their eyes teach.

"Even if it feels the world regrets our presence,
To forgive every such thought is the essence.
Where we are today, may seem like the 'worst materialistic end',
That is a lie, we unfortunately can't mend.
We now go back in to our cocoon,
Hoping that you will join us soon."

The Endless Walk

I was on this road I didn't know,
Couldn't say who was a friend or a foe.
Dozens of people around me kept talking,
But I, I just kept walking.
                                               
This road I walk on seems endless,
Since I am born, I am walking, no rest.
I see a few people there mocking,
But I, I just keep walking.

The road ahead seems to be trying,
Yes I am little scared, am not lying.
Others might think I will sit here rotting,
But I, I will just keep walking.
