The good is, like nature, an immense landscape in which man advances through centuries of exploration.

On Going Back To The Street After Viewing An Art Show
they talk down through
the centuries to us,
and this we need more and more,
the statues and paintings
in midnight age
as we go along
holding dead hands.
and we would say
rather than delude the knowing:
a damn good show,
but hardly enough for a horse to eat,
and out on the sunshine street where
eyes are dabbled in metazoan faces
i decide again
that in theses centuries
they have done very well
considering the nature of their
brothers:
it's more than good
that some of them,
(closer really to the field-mouse than
falcon)
have been bold enough to try.

If I wasn't doing this kind of exploration, I'd like to be doing some other kind of exploration. It might be more risky, or less risky, but, in the business of exploration, risk is part of the territory.

A Life of Mystery!
Human life is a great mystery yet to be unravelled!
As long as soul is there in the body man survives;
How the soul has come and where the soul goes
Nobody knows yet making it difficult to believe it!
Independent survival depends on the work one does;
Work makes one survive standing on one’s own legs.
Many rely on money but work only provides money;
The good work one does brings support from all ever.
As long as body is healthy and strong soul remains
Recharged by energy from food and good rest ever.
Stabilising body health and knowing the truth of all
Exploration of spirit in all beings of Nature clears doubts.
Spiritual exploration is a mystical experience of mind
That only brings peace, joy, love and glow to humans!

I don't think the space station will ever do anything for exploration. Putting people up there for a year or more is the only way you will get anywhere near the exploration concept.

A Boon Nature Is For Man!
Man has to learn great lessons from not books but Nature!
Education provides just the fundamentals and foundation,
Basing which he has to build world learning from Nature.
So, he has to go out of the portals of education to Nature!
Nature is everywhere and man is part of Nature forever!
If he enjoys animal pleasure or aesthetic pleasure or
If he intellectually explores truth or mystically enjoys bliss,
If he digs or builds using Earth, it is one and the same!
Nature is living scientific art man has to explore the truth
With his heart, mind and soul through woman, art, Nature!
Five elements of Nature like air, fire, water, land and space
Man is made up of and is everywhere he has to explore!
His exploration will help him how to transform himself to spirit
And mingle himself with the all pervading spirit of bliss in Nature!

Sonnet- Make Thine Life Happy
Who says he knows all things he ought to know
With clarity, for futuristic needs?
Who says he neither has a friend or foe
Or affirms he has done only good deeds?
No Man on earth exists who is all wise;
To no one Nature gives not good advice;
Perfect is no one or without a vice;
Despite its problems all, life is quite nice.
Happy's the man, who contented life leads
And does his duty as per conscience;
Who from Nature, her immense secrets feeds,
And learns about God more even with Science.
Our life on earth is too ephemeral,
After death only it turns eternal.

The Mighty Nature
over the centuries man has tried
to conquer nature and slave its might
he built concrete high rising homes
ships that fight sea's heavy storms
planes to fly man in air
cars, trains... travel's no fear
he tried to tame the nature wild
protect himself when she got riled
he built structures tall nad wide
wo enclose seas and her tide
he got better, he got strong
he felt he can do no wrong
with all knowledge, all strength
new gadgets, tools and wealth
but when the nature shows her might
man can hardly put up a fught
the roaring, foaming, angry sea
or mighty winds that blow away trees
earthquakes that shake the ground
or molten lava, burns all around
for all its worth, all man's trouble
on nature's strike turns to rubble
after all the heights man had reached
nature's surrender cannot be achieved
even after centuries of fight
man has to salute the nature's might

The Good Old Powlett River
The good old Powlett river so very old in time
Has been sketched by famous artists and has inspired the bards to rhyme
From the hills above Kilcunda it flows downland to the sea
Centuries before the first Australians came down to the South Country,
The good old Powlett river will flow down forever more
From the hills above Kilcunda to the great Pacific shore
By the sandhills near saltwater where the surf waves one can hear
The good old Powlett river to my heart is ever dear,
Out of the sunshine by powlett river in the shadows of the trees
Centuries ago the first Australians danced their corroborees
The people like Nature's Seasons to life they come and go
But the good old Powlett river forever it will flow
From the hills above Kilcunda babbling on down to the sea
It will babble on forever century on century.

Adored Exploration
My midnights are not spent,
In low tides.
Or staring at the stars,
That twinkle bright.
I might,
Decide...
To shake awake imaginations.
I don't stay up to wonder why...
Some people rather sleep,
Away their time!
I might,
Decide...
To shake awake imaginations.
Give me a chance to fly and soar.
Give me a reason to want more...
To fly off shores to me that bore.
In adored...
Exploration!
And dance on mountaintops without stop!
Or 'rock' with a beat I like until I drop.
And not be mocked by folks who try to rob,
My adored...
Exploration!
Give me a chance to fly and soar.
Give me a reason to want more...
To fly off shores to me that bore.
In adored...
Exploration!
My midnights are not spent,
In low tides.
Or staring at the stars,
That twinkle bright.
I might,
Decide...
To shake awake imaginations.
Give me a chance to fly and soar.
Give me a reason to want more...
To fly off shores to me that bore.
In adored...
Exploration!
Give me a chance to fly and soar.
In adored...
Exploration!
Give me a chance to fly and soar.
In adored...
Exploration!
Give me a reason to want more...
To fly off shores to me that bore.
Give me a chance to fly and soar.
In adored...
Exploration!
My midnights are not spent,
In low tides.
Or staring at the stars,
That twinkle bright.
I might,
Decide...
To shake awake imaginations.
In adored...

Just Leave Me To Nature
In Claraghatlea near Millstreet my life's journey began
And in that old Townland i grew into a man
But i cannot say where my remains will lay
I will be with Nature and that is okay.
I will be with Nature and it will not matter to me then
If i am not remembered as one of the great men
Who were of a benefit to human kind
For centuries of fame i do not feel inclined.
I've heard her birds sing and I've breathed her air
Just leave me to Nature of me she'll take care
And even if my bones to ashes will burn
I was born of Nature and to her I'll return.
Just leave me to Nature for to rest in peace
From the cares of living I'll have found a release
In Claraghatlea near Millstreet i first saw light of day
But i am not to know where my remains will lay.

Exploration is in our nature. We began as wanderers, and we are wanderers still. We have lingered long enough on the shores of the cosmic ocean. We are ready at last to set sail for the stars.

Nature's Favorite Color
The green foliage is an attractive sight
On the vast landscape on a clear summer day,
As the white daisies gradually unfold along the side
Of a winding roadway that is somber and gray.
It is a picturesque view that one will readily admit,
Blesses the color of green to the greatest height,
And yet it is a scene that enlightens one's mind
With euphoria and great pleasure and delight.
It is not the beauty of the unfolding rose,
Nor the mellow sunflowers near the old mill,
But the color green - Nature's matchless green
On the highlands that gives one a welcomed thrill.
It is beholding of the color of green,
On the growth of leaves on a swaying tree,
And on the landscape far and wide indeed,
As green is Nature's favorite color for all to see.

Real progress in understanding nature is rarely incremental. All important advances are sudden intuitions, new principles, new ways of seeing.

Thirteen Lines
A brain peered through stoic eyes;
Yet all it saw was rendered into
Flawed interpretation –
No honoured contemplation of a
Gluon, muon, quark of any flavour;
Nor a vision or conception of its world
Within a universe anthropic in its physical laws,
Inside a boundless multiverse.
All it gleaned and modelled
Bore parochialism well beyond belief! –
Delusional perhaps.
Survival only matters here on planet Earth –
Evolution saw to that.

To win over a woman
On seeing a handsome man,
A woman will desire him.
She will not show it, nor spell it.
When prepositioned by a man,
It is in her nature to turn off
Even she is desirous of him.
She needed repeated advances
Made in order to be won over.

Freedoom
the red grass, up to my knees
an aura comes towards me
someone's changed the formula
un-chaining another law
the structures, the colors
uniform chaos is alternating
the nature of things!
immense inertia
nearly nirvana
is this quest forever?
oceans of motion
a field of questions
I won't last forever!
the nature of things!

God and master
It is story of natural lover
Staunch supporter and firm believer
His life is spent on natural songs
Nothing he or she finds anything wrong
Snow clad mountains for most of the year
Very good music to be heard in ear
What else a guy needs in life than be near to nature
To die or live and making it sure
Fishermen enjoy at rising waves
Mountaineers love steep rise and deep caves
Tribesmen love deep forests and tigers
Bird lovers dream of becoming fliers
Nature does not play the role of hangman
It has same role for man woman
It may appeal all from different angles
Try to come to help to form lovely triangles
The day is dying out to be taken over by moon
Soon the heat may be forgotten tolerated in noon
It is not sure what silver rays may offer in night
What else may be there to feel proud and right?
The objects are there since centuries
Nature has done no damage with its furies
We have depicted each object with changing mood
Whether it has consoled us or proved any good
Let us be near and think of changes
Try to paint it in nice mood and manage
It won’t discourage with even disasters
As nature are our God and master

The Icelandic Volcano
Such a beauty to the eye
Of immense height
That blends in the sky!
Like a sleeping princess,
She dances with mankind
In their waking and sleeping.
But in a shining April
2010 in a budding spring time
she vomits her lava and smoke.
Strangely enough, her beauty
Ejects fire and black smoke
that suffocate the sky
Thousands of flights are halted
Passengers are stranded.
Flight companies lose their assets.
Who can tell that
Such an immense beauty
Can prick us all to fear
the fury of mother nature?
