Sharing a poignant prose I came across that says much and is very relevant to the state of being in the world we are in.
Happy reading & writing to all my fellow readers and writers.

Life is a Waltz
Life is a dance
In learning the flow
Waltzing the waves
As they come and go.
Life is a journey
Of the rise and the fall
Of the swing and the sway
Waltzing through time.
Life can be like a waltz
Shaping through the moves
Of souls stepping in tandem
Of tuning in the synchrony.
Life is a waltz
Through the ups and downs
Take this waltz of life
And ease in to the flow!

State of Earth Today
Are we cause of all suffering
We are not only the cause
We are the reason
For the ‘State of Earth’ today.
We have breached all laws of nature
We have plundered and marauded
Not only our own
But innocent voiceless sentient beings.
Our crimes are heinous
Our ways unethical
Morality or humanity
Is completely missing
Across the world today.
Our actions corelates
To the price we all must pay!
We speak without kindness
We act without empathy
We are ruthless and hopeless.
Tilting natures precious balance
By our callous self serving ways.
Our earth has taken a toll
Bearing patiently in witness mode
Centuries of abuse and neglect
Nature has no time to be silent
It’s truly now or never.
Nature must begin to equalize.
Man has broken every law of nature
Now nature needs to self repair
Humankind must change their ways
Seek ways to maintain and sustain earth.
Just being human is not enough
We must practice our humanity
Else the wrath of nature
Can no longer be contained.
Our ways had got out of hand
Life was getting unbearable
And so beyond control.
And way beyond hope.
In the madness of being modern
The malady of our times
Values and ethics were trashed
Respect and regard were binned
Stress and tension
Anxiety and panicking
Sleeplessness and fatigue
Plaguing the world over
Materialism and indulgence
Hitting an all time high
In greed apathy and indifference
We took our world for granted.
Now nature is reclaiming
What’s rightfully hers
Her pristine glory
Her beauty her peace.
Now nature has put humans in cages.
Animals and birds roam free,
Roads are empty, rivers are cleaner
Pollution has given way to purer air.
While mankind is locked down.
Nature is restoring to sustain herself
Hope we realize & amend our ways
For the State of earth today.

A Beautiful Blessed Day!
Every morning is a proof
Of another shift in her axis
By our mother earth.
We are wiser by a day
After each and every night
To emerge anew at dawn.
Let our dawn spring forth in freshness
Of our spirit for living life well.
Let us discard the spurious.
Let us work with empathy for nature
Respectful of their presence in our lives.
For we are made of the very elements of nature.
Nature is in each of us.
Earth wind fire and water and space…
We are a force of nature.
Let us move with care
Let us proceed with dignity
And never take ourselves for granted.
Let us recognize the infinite intelligence
Bestowed in our being by nature
Let us be the best expression of our being.
As we move closer to our authenticity.
We will resonate to the truth of our life .
We will move closer to the purpose of being.
A beautiful blessed day to you all!

On Letting Go
“To be truly happy and contented, you must let go of what it means to be happy or content.” – Confucius
What is so difficult about the letting go?
Is it the fear of not being able to have it again when you need it most?
Or is it about the holding on to memories that were?
Or is it the attachment to things that is most difficult to release?
When we realize how dispensable we are and how transient is our being…
We will begin to see the world with a fresh pair of eyes.
We will know, nothing is given
Neither our lives nor our nature
Every manifestation must evolve
To another state in the flow
Then we may perhaps be able
To accept letting go as part of the flow!

Your Three Words
Your Three Words…
These last 3 days of sharing my artworks has been quite an enjoyable experience. It has opened up new vistas of thoughts in envisioning.
My Painting on Day 3 was titled :
The Spirit of Dance
Many of your Word interpretations were quite in synch with it.
Wanted to reflect the simple joy of dance movements in the freedom of being, each as unique as the dancer.
Thoroughly enjoyed reading and responding to each of your creative responses for all three of my artworks.🙏🏼
All of your words are truly incredible and so very imaginative.
Thank you so much for joining in this little experiment in creativity.
Hope to share more of my works and continue this series in the future.
Speaking about my artworks that I posted…
All these Artworks are my paintings from back in time that I happened to chance upon again. I wanted to see if they still meant the same to me in time. I then thought of sharing it in a post the way I did, just for the little collaborative creativity and joy in the sharing.
The multitude of meanings in it, for each of you and the interpretations put forth in the responses were truly each a journey in itself.
In these times of lockdowns the world has had time to pause and reflect and has perhaps chosen to engage with varied creative enrichments in much deeper and fulfilling ways.
Do let me know if you enjoyed playing along these last three days as much as I did.😇
Thank you all again for traveling alongside with me and my artworks for the last three days, as we mutually forged new paths of perceptions in the perspectives. 🙏🏼

What do you see? Day 2
Hello my dear readers,
Every day for three consecutive days I am sharing one of my own paintings from my Artworks Collection.
Every painting will be shared without the title. I would love to understand what your interpretation is of the painting. Then the next day I will reveal my original title and thoughts on the painting.
Here is a share of my Painting on Day 2
Please write the first 3 words that come to mind the moment you see it.
Lets together see if what I have tried depicting through my painting has reached you. Or better still you may have your own interpretation which I would love to read.
Must add, absolutely fascinating word interpretations to yesterday’s painting.I appreciate you for playing along and contributing with your interesting word choices. Some of your words have truly made me think again, so thank you for that! Please play on, I look forward to your words to my picture today.
As promised… Day 1: My yesterday’s painting share was titled Faces I ave always enjoyed and love drawing the human face & profile. I created a face in a face and kept shaping the profiles, side by side depicting the many dimensions to the face, as I continued to flow through with it. There is certainly a whole lot of blues depicting the moods and the mind. My interest in drawing the human face also made me write these two poems:

https://savvyraj.com/every-face-tells-a-story/
After all there are so many facets to the faces we see around us.
How many faces did you see, I wonder?
