Take time

Take time to see beyond

To care and be considerate,

To be kind and compassionate,

To wonder and stay curious.

​Take time to learn and explore,

To read and discover another,

To revere the precious now,

To stay grateful for every moment.

For life moves forward

As clocks tick relentlessly,

With no respite…

​So choose to reclaim time.

Take time for, and with, the self.

To live lovingly than just exist.

Soul of my soul

Reaching out to the radiance

That lights my being

Feeling the magnificent way

The glow paves my path.

Seeing the grace unfold

In all its glorious resplendence

Aligning with its presence

In the breath I take.

Witnessing life transform

As darkness gives in to light

Sensing the space of lightness

As energy balances its flow.

Soul of my soul

Your omnipresence I revere

As you work your magic

Through me…

Dawn paints the day

An interesting  dawn

I woke up earlier than dawn today.

And positioned myself in my favorite space

To watch the glorious dawn

Before I could realise

A bright orange ball 

Just popped up over the horizon…

It was as if the sun was in a hurry

To awaken the world & light  the day.

As I just began to ease into the brilliance …

I saw the corner of the sun

Disappearing  into the blanket of clouds

Looming large, to dull the senses once more…

The light is hidden now

From plain sight.

Do know the sun is up 

There may be a lull in the now

But darkness is a passing cloud

Think of it, as moments to pause 

In patience for light is on the other side

Awaiting its turn to light up your day.

And yes, before I could pen these words here…

The light of dawn paints the day.

Tests of Life

A young man came to a saint and started crying. The saint waited patiently till he cried to his heart’s content. Then he asked the reason for his grief. He told, I’ve undergone a lot of difficulties in my life. Whatever I touch or do, wherever I go, I face only defeat & insults. My […]

Heart speaks…

Creative connects

As a dance instructor I remember a time more than a decade ago, I built a community of dance lovers who loved the connecting over a few moves every weekend. The tribe gew organically… as for all these lovers of dance, including me, the art of movements and sharing the  creative passion… became a way of life.

I often sensed how much the times spent dancing together was a transformative  experience.  I also witnessed how many of them  found friendships and supported each other through  thick and thin.

Though I moved on to another city and began exploring and discovering many more interests in time, the times we all manage to connect again, even now always brings a joyful smile from the heart ❤️

Unearthing The Self

Photo by cottonbro on Pexels.com

Covered in the grime of life

Masked in the mire of living

Seasoned in the sands of time.

Life may seem meaningless,

Submerged in the shadows.

Yet trust time in its flow

As it unearths the Self.

In its own unique way

P.S

This poem flowed in a moment of  silent contemplation…

I pose a question to you

Looking back at the layers

Life brought forth in time

Are there more, that are shielding you?

Or are there more that you want to wash away? 

And more importantly…

Are you ready to unearth the Self?

I hope in reading these verses, it brings in a sense of pause and trust, wherever you are in your own unique journey of unearthing the self .

Twilight

Twilight expresses the moment of change
In the most gentle of ways.
Change that allows
Change that accepts
Change that acknowledges…
that transition takes time.
It also holds moments of awe and wonder.

Yet change is rarely felt this way…
For change can be the difference
Between the dark and light
Of the night and day.


Humans are hardwired
To fear change in doubt and  uncertainty
But change is the only constant.

However… humans are also wired in hope
To trust transitions of change is hopefulness
And hope is here to stay.

Symphony of the Soul

One life time

Dark and light

Play hide and seek.

Like the night and day.

Between the illusions and reality

From doubts to clarity

Trust life to fine tune itself.

Balancing the sharp flats.

In the ebb and flow

Hear the music of heartfulness

Lit in the symphony of the soul.

Who lifts you up?

Over the years

Living life teaches much.

Every person in your life

has an unique role to play.

Sometimes they are necessary for you

at times, you are necessary for them.

Life happens along the way,

leaving lessons fine.

Your emotional equation matters more than you think.

Choose to spend time with those who lift you up.

Those who bring cheer and smile to your face.

Choose your circle, its your right.

Choose wisely and you can be where you want to be…

You have one life.

Choose well…

Are we listening?

Nature speaks and how
In the hum of the bees
In the language  of the flowers
In the chirping of birds
In the whistling of the woods
In the sounds of the ocean
As much as the gurgling stream.
In the singing of the sand dunes
In the rustle of the leaves
Swaying in the breeze
Nature speaks much
Are we listening?  🎶

Who will don it?

It was like a painting

That I could not forget

In the streets of Paris

Where artists paint

In passionate fervour.

The stark shape of lines

Bold colors that speak

Of the creator’s confidence.

The play of contrasts

In the light & dark.

The arresting silhouette

Almost molded to form.

An awe-inspiring design.

Displayed in the window

It caught my eye…

The dress was mesmerizing

No, not in a delicate way

It was quite the opposite.

It spoke to me

Of a certain power play

It had me thinking

Who will don it?

Power in a dress?

A dress can do much for your confidence

You can own the dress and the world …

With the right kind of dress.

Would you agree?

And tell me…

When I started the above poem with the line

It was like a painting…

Did you think it could be about a dress ?

If you did…

Did you think of it as something that flowed with beauty?

And what else would your imagination associate with a beautiful painting, I would  love to know.

Spirit of Freedom

An open pathway beckons you
Across the threshold

See the horizon of hope
In the warmth of day light

Take a step forward in trust
It holds much promise

Glide onto the green fields
Let your spirit soar

And sense the spirit of freedom
To be all that you can be..
