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…

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 ❤️

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.

Rhythm divine
Songs of life & living
Vibrates with emotions
Sensed along the journey of life.
Find smchrony in the sounds
Energizing the spaces
In rhythms divine
In peace and harmony.
Connecting us deeper
With the truth of our cosmic connects.
A gentle reminder…
When the world feels chaotic
Tune in to the divine rhythm
That runs through everything

Meet me in the middle
This poem will resonate with those in strong relationships that stands the test of time and yet may find themselves challenged and at crossroads with differences in thoughts and opinions. Pretty much most who have experienced life together will find themselves in such predicaments time and time again.
In relationships when you are unable to see eye to eye, where past misses surfaces or future expectations sideline the precious present, perhaps this poem can be a reminder of how far you have traveled together to reach here.
All is not lost just yet… if you could only meet in the middle. For the strongest relationships survive in empathic understanding of each other through the thick & thin.
Meet me in the middle,
With an open mind,
Set aside differences,
We’re the same kind…
Today we may be at crossroads
looking with a different lens
But our hearts beat as one
Like it used to, years ago.
The feelings just the same…
So dearest one, sense it all
Memories are meant
To be revisited in time.
Think of how far we have come
And meet me not in the past
Nor in the the future
But right here in the middle
Of this present now.

Truth of love
The truth of love is acceptance…
The kind that is unconditional.
It asks not another
To change and fit a mold,
Nor expects you to compromise your values.
The truth of love is realization
Of your heart’s expansion,
And seeing the possibilities
Amidst life’s myriad challenges.
The truth of love is freedom
From control and suppression.
True love breathes free
And lives life lovingly.
In reflection…
Ultimately, love is not a destination or a demand; it is a quiet, daily momentum. It is the conscious choice to move through a complex world and simply live life lovingly.
Love is not a bond that ties us down, but an expansion that sets us free…
If love is an expansion rather than a bond, what is one unspoken demand you can release today to let your relationships breathe freer?
The inspiration for these verses in flow arrived in the moment I started commenting on this interesting poem and its take on love.
Live life lovingly.

Rhythm Within
What is dancing to you ?
A series of steps
Or a conversation
Without words?
Dance is a connection
To the rhythm within
That moves you
To find yourself.
In dance is the magic
Of tuning into harmony.
Whatever the form
Dance moves you
Heart & soul
To your truth .

All in good time
Layer upon layer
Our spheres connect
Communing in nurture
Nuggets of thoughts
Embodying the soul.
Emerging anew each time.
Imprints of life
Etched on our senses
Emotions traversing
Feelings yet to fathom
Wisdom in the changes
Transforming us from within
All in good time.

Love
Someone asked
Can you hold on to love
I answered,
You can try holding on to love
It’s beautiful to be held in its sway
But doubt you can hold it
For its a feeling, an emotion
That you sense and embrace
You can bond with it
But not clasp, or latch on to
So get a grip on yourself
Think of love as freedom
To be all that you can be.
Love is free
Likewise to the air
You breathe it
But cannot hold it
It has to be set free
And in allowing it to flow
It sets you free
To sense its presence.

Smiles from the heart
Being a happy person
I have tided over
The challenges with a smile
Grateful for the dance in my life
I draw energy from movements
As they appear to move me
I unwind and unfurl
My hearts deepest feelings
In the flow of the moves
I sense the beauty of this now.
And I smile from the heart.

Love
A beautiful thought share.
It is of practical value to learn to like yourself. Since you must spend so much time with yourself you might as well get some satisfaction out of the relationship.
Norman Vincent Peale
Weight of love
Love can be light
Love can be heavy
Such is the weight of love.
In one moment
Love spreads love
Love shares hope
In another moment
Love fills us with despair
Such is the irony
Of the weight of love.
And yet love is the way
For all of us…
Live life lovingly…
Savvy
What is living life lovingly?
It is not the grand gestures
But in the valuing of life
With actions that move hearts…
Through the hands that help
Extending care without expection
A celebration of life
In the unfolding of patience
In the spirit of generosity
In the deeds of kindness
In expansive love as a choice
Unconditionally unexpectedly
Living life in every now
With the grace of a being
Leading with love.
What to you is living life lovingly?
On Love
Love begets love
But being in love
Can be bittersweet
For love takes you
On a journey
Unto your own self
It tests you.
In opportune times
It lays bear your soul
Challenges your body & mind
Many times over
Until you are ready
To see love for itself
Beyond the apparitions
Aspire to love & be loved
For it is better to love & be loved
Than not at all.
