Green was the valley, green was my heart,
Melody pulling my strings apart,
Getting dissolved in the drops of rain,
I was falling freely as if the rest was all vain.
There came a fragrant breeze, so swift and so prune,
It was so much on its way, just one note and no other tune,
I dared to ask,
"Why are you pulling me your way?
I want to meet my love, my sea,
I am merry to fall down freely,
Why are you carrying me away?"
No answer could be heard; it just kept me on board,
I started counting, till the time i could hold
I could see the huge sea left past,
I couldn't even weep, the flight was so fast.
Oh I had longed all my life to meet my love so real!
How could destiny have been so cruel?
Again I was perturbed, is it right or wrong?
Even when i am captured, why do I feel strong?
Still no answer, and i was all blue,
Just held on to it asking for no clue,
Suddenly I felt i was on spree,
I couldn't believe i was set all free!!!
I was freely falling to the earth again,
Thinking of the breeze, my past and the pain.
I fell in the mouth of a thirsty bird,
The pained soul got a healing word,
It was flying and hovering all around,
I heard a loud joyous sound,
It looked at the sky and wept out a tear,
I was out again, a new life and some fear,
Again i saw the breeze coming,
Again i was set on a journey untold,
Again i was flowing clueless,
Again my desires were put on hold.
It was so fragrant, so swift and so prune,
Just one note and no other tune,
I kept looking at it with a smile,
No second thought for even a while.
Here was my angel, the one heaven sent,
Who carried me away from the world of repent..
To a new world where my love showers,
Where life seems to me like a bed of flowers.
I am here to serve, He made me realize,
Not to fall in love, just have to rise.
I can't meet my love, unless i give my all away,
For meeting my beloved sea, this is the only way.
Green was the valley, green was my heart,
Melody pulling my strings apart,
Getting dissolved in the drops of rain,
I was falling freely as if the rest was all vain.

so u mean there is no real love in the free-flow flight...? only the wait game till u find the god....?
Its just that we all know we are here for a purpose, but hardly work out to heed the voice of the inner being which wants us to do something which we have been sent here for. We normally never compromise our comforts for that real purpose.
And then, there comes a Guru, a guide (may be a friend, a teacher, mother, father, or anyone for that matter) in our life, who makes us realise what we are here for. He exercises discipline for us and carries us to the goal.
The poem talks of the breeze, which carries the drop of rain to a place where its most needed...to the thirsty bird.. and the journey doesn't end here.. it carries the drop to all the places where it is needed.. and finally it goes to the sea.
and who finds that real guru..? one who yearns for..? or how else..?
When one becomes eligible for the next step of the knowledge, the Guru finds him. Just like when you have passed one standard in school, you are eligible for the next.
Being eligible is more related with progress, knowledge and hence yearning.
so what is the significance of the life in the higher scheme of things..i mean even if it is to realise the true nature...find god..then why all this in the first place...why did god set all this stage which is all so untrue..? and then in this untrue and illusive stage, why attach wid fellow beings..? or does one see god in them..?

The question is valid. Why find god? The answer to this is because we are not able to see him, we are trying to find him. He is the bliss, peace, the joy that every soul yearns for. Isn't it true? You love someone, and you feel so divine ! And why do you go for loving someone? definitely to seek this eternal bliss.
Understanding the nature of the soul will help.
I suggest you to read 'God loves Fun' By H. H. Sri Sri Ravishankar Ji.
