To dance is to acknowledge the living you at this moment
In every move, the heart and mind is looped in joyousness
In every flight is the beauty of lightness.
To dance is to realize
The sensation of living
And to energize the self
As well as the surroundings
With this gift of life!

A dear child’s dress speaks to a loving mother…
Weathered and worn
I lie here today
In this moment
That you look at me
I know so many thoughts
May pass your way
Memories that only can fathom
Of a time passed long by
You and I
Have lived through
Those days protecting
Your dear child
Through rough weather
Your mother’s affection
I can sense till today
As you would lovingly
Clothe your precious baby
With me
I know we are privy
To those special times
When you child lived in me
Played and fed with me on
How many times
You would carefully wash dry
And iron me out
And keep me clean and warm
All ready for your baby to wear
Your baby may never know me
But you and I
We have a special bond
A recall of those memorable times
That we shared
Until one fine day
She outgrew me.
Today you found me
As you left me
Deep in the closet
Among the old and discarded
But am I glad to be caressed with love
And photographed with joy
And reminisced about…
For in this moment
Your little gesture
Touches my being
For I feel I have served my purpose well
Thank you as well
For choosing me
And caring to keep me with you
All these years and maybe more!!!
With love
❤An old baby dress ❤
Found my daughter’s old baby dress and I was suddenly transported back in time…
Today my daughter is indeed all grown up. I took a picture of this little dress and shared it with my daughter who studies in a land far away…
The nurturing years of her childhood flashed by and I sat down to pen my reflections…
In sensing the tranquillity within
In knowing the sounds of silence
In flowing freely in the moment
Is the dance of wonder and awe
Of the beauty in the being …
In the bliss of the bless.
Savvy
Wisdom speaketh not always in words
It sends forth a knowing of its presence
At times elusive like the spirit of the being, blowing in the wind.
At other like a soul in the living, sensing, emoting in the feeling.
And in such a knowing
Understand the bliss
In the moments
Acknowledge the grace
In the blessing.
Sense its presence
Allow it to communicate
Honour its effects
Respond with all your being.
For wisdom is a deliverance
That comes from the truth in the being
Of life, loved and lived
Giving eternal hope to the living.
Savvy
Gratifying to know…
The gratification that comes from and only through all you involved readers.
So much gratitude to you all for your support and engagement and likes.
Through encouraging comments and fabulous link shares.
So much learning in these sharings.
So grateful for the opportunity to share
Looking forward to reading your works
In mutual admiration and respect
From one writer to another.
For readers and writers are connected
In a dance of symbiosis
There is no one without the other.
Savvy
When the heart dances
The body moves
The spirit sings
The soul senses
Joy abounds.
It doesn’t matter what dance you love …. what matters is that your heart loves to dance 🙂
Savvy
Have you felt wronged or slighted in life… don’t despair.
For nature will make it right!
There is always a system of check and balance
For the law of nature aligns it all.
Simply know it may not always be the way you may plan…
For there is a truth beyond yours
That takes much more into account
You could simply be a piece in that puzzle.
So as you face destiny in the eye
As each trying moment unfolds
As you shed those countless tears
Simply know deliverance is near.
Allay your fears
Unfetter your spirit
Bring on the trust
That better lies ahead.
There is much in this self arranging world
We are yet to understand
Endless night wakes up to the light of dawn.
And Hope springs in with the sunshine
Your worst nightmare becomes a distant memory
For times change the order of things
Life moves on as the clocks tick
For Life is circle of days and nights
Despair not my friend
Sense hope by your side
In the darkest moments
Light is just a while away.
Savvy
Written for a dear friend in dire need of trust and hope right now.
Keep the faith my friend …for faith is all there is.
We may not know how or when.
We may often question why.
We may feel ousted by fate.
Our sense of destiny is at play
But if only we could give
Trust a little chance.
For when the time is right,
Every piece of puzzle fits in perfectly.
For puzzles are meant to fit.
Savvy
How does a moment last forever…
Ask the flower
That leaves impressive impressions
In such a short span.
From a bud to a bloom
Lessons in living life
Fully in every moment.
Savvy
Soul to soul,
Heart to heart
Speaks one to another.
I am another you,
One soul to another.
I am an extension
Of your own love of Life.
I seek your blessings.
I seek your knowledge.
I seek your wisdom.
I seek your strength.
Ingrained in the sands of time,
You have experience in living life
That I have none.
I begin with what you give.
Your thoughts, your intentions,
Your belief and faith
Interweave in mine
To carve this new life.
An imprint of you I am
As much as the souls before.
Savvy
Like a rainbow up in the skies
Sending a symbol of hope
Creating a circle of trust
For all to see and know…
As you go through daily life
Just care to remind yourself
That you are being watched over
And cared for …
This will bring you immense peace
and transmit universal love.
Stay blissful and blessed!
Savvy
Universal Oneness is an awareness
In reflections of the truth of the being
Interweaved and interconnected in every life .
Strength shines through the vulnerabilities.
As a power in the very fragility
Touched by divine grace
Enmeshed in the senses
Fired in the cauldron of life and living
Comes a consciousness of the flow
In and around us
Beyond the illusion of separation.
Is the dance of connection.
Savvy
A great message that just had to be shared . Am sure we all can resonate with this.
All I did was add some imagery to the words!
Savvy
Do share and pass the good words around.

WordPress certainly has its unique ways
Of appreciation and encouragement
To support the writers on this platform
There are stats that show up on screen.
So I am told one morning by WordPress
That I am on a three-day posting streak
At first, I was amused and a tad bit confused
For hadn’t I been posting literally every day… for so long…
But guess WordPress took its own sweet time
To catch up to my blog amongst the millions
So I too decided to play along…
Every day since then I have been publishing
A poem written afresh, simply inspired
A continuation from my previous post
In creatives emerging in thoughts.
Perhaps from a readers comment
Or better still in its contemplation.
Today as I complete a 10-day streak
I want to share these published posts
Here together in an attempt to string
These beads of thoughts together
Poetry can be the jewellery of language.
Pearls of fresh thoughts bonded into words.
Creativity strung together in a form.
Like a necklace that is adorned in appreciation.
Creativity is there within
Us all for the taking
And all it needs is a step in
In reflection and action…
It was a joy to play along
Connecting the dots,
Stringing the words,
As they came along.
Kudos to WordPress
Stats for the supportive inputs
And my amazing blogger friends
For inspirations along my way.
Savvy
Here are the links of the last 10 day Post streak that I will simply call Creative Enrichments
A few observations …
These ten days I had a purpose steeped in creative enrichment. The idea was to be receptive and responsive to whatever that these posts brought forth.
And I sensed how these Inspirations came my way on its own.
A special thanks to a few WordPress writers who are involved without their own knowledge… that I want to thank here.

Are you a born poet?
Questions my friend the other day
The words linger in my thoughts for sure
And I have no quick repartee
But in silent contemplation…
Words, we all have in our thoughts
But a trigger of senses in life and living
Brings it out in its own unique way
At times it’s a trickle
And other times a shower
As it springs forth a million thoughts and streams it’s way in a flow.
Poetry emerges from life in the living
The writer ought not to hold back
For it is powered by its own purpose
To be born and shared.
All it needs is a trigger
Of emotions in the sensing
Of feeling and witnessing
Of pain and of pleasure
Of being and doings
In life and living.
The poet is born in the expressions in eloquence.
As much as a painter waltzes with his brush on canvas
And like Photographers tango through the light and dark
Poets dance through the heart with words…
Art births itself in breathing in life
A little deeper every time…
And leaves imprints in exhaling from the heart
For Art is a matter of connecting hearts.
Wouldn’t you agree?
Savvy
