Light In Shadows

Shadows speak much

Silhouettes cast

Shading surfaces…

Shadows are not all dark

Sometimes they seem grey

Sometimes blue on snow

Soaked in skies of clear blue .

Shadows are not all tall

Shadows falling at noon

Shrinking into themselves

Seeming almost nonexistent.

Shadows not only keep time

Shadows change with clock.

Shadows are a step behind

Seen on opposing ends.

Speaking  of art

Shadows and artists

Seem interconnected.

For an artist knows

To play with shadows

To light something up.

Creating contrasts

And dramatic depth.

Speaking of depth

Shadows hide within us

Sensing  and keeping scores

Symbolic of the yet unseen

Still emerging in actions

Still evident even if unsaid.

Still granting form to light

Staying united at source.

Shafts of light may be seen

Shadows muted self

Subtly beautiful  shadows…

Shadows can be beautiful

Sharp or blurry visions

Sharing wisdom from within

Shadows are not superior

Shadows are not inferior

Simply united at source

Shadows are part of us.

This piece of contemplation is inspired writing after a mention  from  my friend@Roshnii and her thoughtful tagging.

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.

Prayer

Turning inwards
From illusions to clarity
Lighting the lamp within
Awakening in awareness
To the timeless truth
Essence of consciousness.

A prayer integrating the body mind & spirit . 🙏

Reiki on Rakhi

Today is the day Rakhi  a festival that is celebrated by Indians all over the world to strengthen the bond of a brother and sister.

Celebrated  with love and devotion this festival makes its way into hearts for its simple ways to remember the  unconditional  love between  them.

The sister ties a rakhi thread on her brothers wrist to mark  the prayers and love she has in her heart for him.

My brother is very close to my heart and lives far away. Today as a reiki practitioner along with the rakhi I have already sent, I also choose to send out a reiki healing prayer for my brother. 

Have shared a heart felt prayer I created with Ai.

If you wish to, do feel free share with your brother or sisters…

Charcoal on black

Art on black paper

The artist is engrossed

Working relentlessly

Charcoal on black

Revealing the light from the dark

Reversing the fundamentals of art

Shaping the light into form

Contouring the edges

White charcoal lifts and highlights

Speckling with light

Black ones adding depth  

Matting the shine

The fluid fingers flowing 

Almost dancing on paper

Sweeping strokes

Creating softness of light

In contrast they meet

Sharp staccato moves

Accenting tension and texture.

Arresting the eyes.

This waltz with light on dark

And dark on light 

In shades & tones

Applying and erasing

Refining in the rendering

Form merges and emerges…

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…

Light of dawn

Its presence needs a little wait, 

In both patience and perseverance.

To envision the mighty rays

Dawn of its true potential.

In lighting the hearts

Aflame in purpose.

 

This poem aims to reflect the dawn, by beginning slowly to depict the stillness that  precedes the dawn and like an  inhale, generate the light  building up to dawn and then   accelerate to the brilliance of  sunshine… hope you enjoy reading it.

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.

A learning mind

A true learners mind never ages

For  they have the curiosity of a child

A blank slate where learning  can be added

An earnestness in exploration

A trustful disposition

An open mind that allows  expansion…

And most of all a readiness to learn 

To imbibe knowledge and update the self.

When the mind is ready

The understanding happens

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.

SPARKS OF LIGHT

There are times we sense, how words are sparks of light.

From life and lifetimes lived

Of learnings from being you

That is actually meant to light hearts

Near and far…

We simply need to trust, for words know and find their way.

Keep sparking & sharing your light ✨️ 🙏

Light is meant to shine

The sky lights up

This morning

In ethereal light…

And in moments

It feels like twilight,

Where light seems engulfed

But it is already dawn.

Perhaps the sun is hidden

For a fleeting while,

Waiting for clouds to pass

Only to shine again.

In this moment

Of in-betweens,

Before light shines

Its brilliance again,

Let me take a moment

To feel the senses

Telling me to ease in to this now.

Breathe the cool wind

And pause to witness

The unfolding play

Of light of day.

The sun is patient

And humble,

Awaiting its turn…

Let me stay patient

And hopeful

In this play of light.

Light is meant to shine.

Was inspired to write these verses this morning as I silently witnessed the unfolding magic of dawn…

Every now is full of learnings awaiting the light of awareness.

Walk in Light 

Walk in Light

Why walk in shadows of dark

When light is iust around the bend.

Walk in light.

If you can’t see the light

Find the light in you.

Trust your inner light

To show you the way

Love the light,

That you actually are!
