Wind in the sky

Wind in the sky

Invisible to the eye

Its strength is in its movement.

In fluidity of the flow.

Speed is its force

Dynamic in its directions

Powerful in its presence.                

Without physical form.

Yet it’s the air that we breathe

That keeps us alive…

Wind in the sky

Agility its second name

Knows to blow hot & cold.

To be a breeze or a blizzard

Impactful is its presence.

Resilient in its ways

Change is its nature.

Wind on sand

Wind on the sand

Gathering gently

Singing sweetly…

Whistling winds…

Humming & howling

Desert dunes

Deep drones

Shifting sands

Slumping steep

Silver on silver

Gold on gold.

Shaping the self

The past is clutching you

But choose to sculpt a new now

Shed your old skin

Unclasp the tags.

Yesterday may hold you captive

But choose to chisel on relentlessly

Bit by bit…

And free yourself from its vice like grip.

Your tommorow awaits in patience,

Trust, all is well in time.

Shape yourself into who you are.

(My verses in a flow, inspired by the image share that came my way.)

Serenading my senses…

It’s early evening

The sunlight is still filtering in

I sit back, after a walk.

It feels like a balmy dusk

Watching dappled rain drops

Falling on verdant leaves 🍃

Petrichor fills the air

Rising from the earth

Sensing the glimmers of this now.

Serenading my senses, in serendipity…

Look at the sky

Look up

The same sky that brought the storm

Brings forth the sunshine

What more proof do you need,

To trust that it will soon change?

Whatever it is,

Better times are around the bend.

Grace of Luminescence

On a moonlit night 
Embalmed in its luminescence.

Bathed in its argent glow
Graced by the peace in the beam

Radiance lingers in its pearlescent reflection
Drawing us to look upwards

As we are enveloped by its lovely light.

Preciousness Of Now

What’s different about you, after the storm ?
Are you hardened and toughened by it ?
Or are you more humane, compassionate and gentler as  a human after the storm ?


It all depends on you
And how you choose to perceive it.

Perhaps the storm teaches you to steel the self

And create a self preservation shield from such experiences.

On the other hand it could make you more alive to life and the preciousness of now.

As you choose to live and love the life you have left than simply exist in the moments. ✨️

#Life Life Lovingly ❤️

This post actually was inspired by a comment from  my dear friend on WordPress over the years and most of all, a truly empowered and brilliant author Maggie Watson.

Her  comment made me  stop and think of how much  even a mention of the word,’ Storm’ can conjure up. And how much those who have survived it may be feeling … each of these bravehearts may have a different tale to tell.

Yet the truth is their heart beats to the preciousness of this now.

Heartbeats

Storms rage and ravage

They lay waste the efforts

And destruct many a lives.

Yet they rise, only to fall

When the storm subsides

The world picks up the pieces

Of the then and now…

To build again in hope

That tommorow is another new day.

But storms that pass, often leave imprints;

Of traumas in those testing times

Of  fear in the back of the mind. 

They appear in dreams

Almost as if it is reality.

They create confusion in the sanest of times

But when the heart knows  

That fear is just the mind 

Playing its tricks again.

It becomes brave

And continues to beat stronger

And life dances to its beats…

For it has survived the storm.

Rest all is history 💙

Storms have a way of playing with our life even when they  have long subsided.
The brewing storm in our  thoughts and dreams  may seem fearful  yet they also bring perspective to empower ourselves.

I write these verses inspired by  the reading the title and verses of this poem, this morning. Thank you 🙏   poeticmobility.

And the image here is from  my  Ai artwork collections, for I  somehow feel it belongs here as well.

I leave a question  here for you to reflect upon…

Every life has survived its own share of storms

Leaving much wisdom in the learnings  behind.

What lesson has your heart learned after the storm?

Where does this moment take you?

If you could turn the key to a door  that opens up to a place  somewhere right now…

Where does your imagination  take you?

Near mountains

Near water sources

Green spaces

Or spiritual spaces

Or somewhere where your  heart is calling out?

What is your favourite kind of place?

Or is your desire to stay 

Wherever you are,

Stronger than anything else?

Sometimes in the middle of movements there is a desire for stillness

In the middle of hectic days…

For the quietness of calm.

And sometimes amidst silence

There is much going on…

The mind is steering the wheel

Both movement  and stillness

Are part of the journey.

And the desire to drive on

Explore discover the world

And what it has to offer

Is something that happens

To evolve every life.

River runs its course

A river runs its course

Shifting its shape 

It meanders through

Yet is perseverant enough

In reaching the sea

Yet,all in its own time.

Its persistence legendary

In carved imprints

On rocks and stones

Making its way in the flow

A river is a transporter

That lifts and deposits

Nurturing  ecosystems

Dedicated in  purpose

To reach the sea.

Literally magic

Birthing a new world

Giving shape to imagination

Seeding trees of possibilities

Bearing fruits in the passion

Creating energy in the synergy

Making the words come alive

Writing is literally magic…

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.

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.

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…
