Speaking of strength of rhythm, many songs comes to mind but today the music I choose to share about is a spiritual one that immediately engages your attention and how… it will ground you as much as it makes you move in simply listening to it.
If something seems smooth in its flow There is also chaos somewhere
If something feels certain and precise There are also probabilities across the spectrum Of ambiguity.
If time feels flexible enough to warp and bend at will There is also uniformity of timing in the rigidity like the ticking clock.
Yet, in the weight and the gravity of situations Floats the other side, the whimsical truths… Seemingly clashing With the greatest of minds And their proposed theories of science.
Balancing both ends Is the fascia of existence that strings it all… Question remains not If gravity is pulling or pushing. But that it is gravitating with grace On its own, Causing the calm in the flow…
We will travel far. In this cosmic travelling We never know How far we have travelled Or how far yet to go. In what form or in which place. The mystery is beyond Our comprehension. Yet we are aware of Our presence In this present moment. Let us strive not to waste it . Make every effort To make it worthwhile In this long journey Called Life.
Serendipitous dawn Across emerald waters Spiraling sun shines Balancing my breath On soft sandy shores Ocean mist fills my senses.
P.S :
The Vision & verse…
A bit on writing this poem.
I choose an open structure with just a light punctuation such that the lines flow into one another and can be interpreted creatively. I recognize it is a natural way for me to write.
I remembered a day where simply walking on such a peaceful eastern shore, I felt the shifting energy bring balance in my being. There was just me the sky and the ocean, today I have tried to envision that lived moment, that presence I felt in the white sands and whiffs of ocean mist in just these six lines of verse.

(The Ai photo image is simply my prompted visual representation of a lived moment.)
An unexpected yet beautiful burst of colour contrasting the bright blue sky prompted me to click a photo in a split second, enroute a road trip to Goa a few years ago…
P.S.
Sharing some amazing facts about the positive ecological impacts from one fully mature tree, that I came across.
Key Environmental & Ecological Impacts
Natural Climate Control: Through evapotranspiration and shade, one healthy mature tree provides a net cooling effect equal to 10 room-sized air conditioners running 20 hours a day. This can lower local microclimate temperatures by up to 3°F–5°F.
Carbon Vault: A single tree absorbs roughly 48 pounds (22 kg) of CO₂ per year. Over a 40-year lifespan, it locks away nearly 1 metric ton of atmospheric carbon in its trunk, roots, and surrounding soil.
Oxygen Generation: One fully grown, leafy tree generates enough net oxygen per year to sustain 2 to 4 human beings.
Hydrological Shield: A single mature canopy can intercept and soak up 2,300 gallons of stormwater runoff per year. Its root network stabilizes topsoil against erosion while filtering heavy metals and synthetic pollutants before water enters local aquifers.
Air Filtration: Leaves and bark actively trap particulate matter (PM2.5) while absorbing gaseous pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide, ground-level ozone, and sulfur dioxide—removing dozens of pounds of air pollutants annually.
Biodiversity Anchor: A single native tree (such as an oak) can support over 500 distinct species of insects, birds, mosses, and beneficial microorganisms, functioning as a self-contained ecosystem.
That I am fond of trees is nothing new… I have written many verses on trees before as well, yet in here I share a message close to my heart…
Nurture nature Nurture trees.
You are doing an important service to help support self sustaining powerhouse of oxygen to our planet.
