Sometimes when you are lost
Know time is working its ways
Between these moments
Too sensitive to a fault
Or too numb to be hurt.
When life is a like a storm
And you feel lost in a maze
You still find your way out
To the now, as you read this,
Trust time to deliver ways
Trust that…
Savvy
Take time to see beyond
To care and be considerate,
To be kind and compassionate,
To wonder and stay curious.
Take time to learn and explore,
To read and discover another,
To revere the precious now,
To stay grateful for every moment.
For life moves forward
As clocks tick relentlessly,
With no respite…
So choose to reclaim time.
Take time for, and with, the self.
To live lovingly than just exist.
Savvy
Covered in the grime of life
Masked in the mire of living
Seasoned in the sands of time.
Life may seem meaningless,
Submerged in the shadows.
Yet trust time in its flow
As it unearths the Self.
In its own unique way
P.S
This poem flowed in a moment of silent contemplation…
I pose a question to you
Looking back at the layers
Life brought forth in time
Are there more, that are shielding you?
Or are there more that you want to wash away?
And more importantly…
Are you ready to unearth the Self?
I hope in reading these verses, it brings in a sense of pause and trust, wherever you are in your own unique journey of unearthing the self .

How far have we come
From the many versions of ourselves
In this river of time
Where like water, that flows onwards
Time can never be visited backwards…
Only in memories
Held within the hearts & minds
Reminding us of the paths traveled in time.
Life continues to evolve in every now.
As life flows on …
Colouring itself
Along the way.
I share this above digital artwork here from back in time…when AI prompting and image creation was very nascent.

Between the lashes
There is the flame
Of the spirit burning bright
There is a window of the soul
Seeing in the envisioning
Of the betwixt & beyond
Both inside & outside
And making sense of it all.
The lashes are but a curtain
To open up to the wonders of the world…
For between the blink of the lashes
Lies the magic of sight.
Savvy
Time knows
Time reveals
Time heals
Time allows
Time continues
Time ticks
Time spaces
Time delivers
Time tunes
Time shapes
Time changes
Time is time after all
Time exists
Before, betwixt and beyond us.
Isnt. time then more than a measurement?
Time is infinite.
Savvy
Crossing over
Bridges of time
Beginning to end
Ending to begin again
In body spirit & souls
Infinite forms of expressions
Between betwixt & beyond
Bonding new & old
In part & whole
Tuning into the sounds
Of harmony & rhythm
Inexplicable joys
Of moments in movements
As paths are splayed
Across time to tide over
In every moment
The choice is yours to take.
Savvy
The map in my veins
Lead to those unknown paths
Across the world
To places and spaces
I was meant to go
To connect with those
I was to meet
Its all ordained I can tell
Now as I look back
Each relevant to whole
Emerging & merging
In this story of life
The pen with words I weild now
Yields through as witness
To learnings and experiences
Leaving an imprint
In the footprints of time.
Savvy
Artists have a blessing
It’s in their ability to touch time
Past present or future
With their inspired creations
For art touches time
As much as the intangibles
Evoking nostalgia
Creating an intimate connection
That’s almost felt & sensed
Such is the power of art
An evolved appreciation
Standing the test of time.
Ssvvy
A life can be lived forward
And in every moment, easier
If there is less regret
And more acceptance.
It makes living life worth it .
For if you keep looking back
Revisiting memories
A little too often
You will perhaps also sense
The number of times
You didn’t do what you wanted
Saying maybe another day.
Reality is in realizing
This moment now…
Holds all you choose
To make of it.
It’s all embedded in it
Embody it in present
Live not in fear and worry
Seek comfort in past if you wish
But don’t dwell in it too long
Let the past be ,
For even if you want
You cannot hold the hands
Of times gone by ..
Time ticks on
So move with time.
Acknowledge it & regret less.
Savvy
Every minute is precious
Every now matters
Every moment is new
Make the most of it
Life is what you make of it.
Choose well.
And reap well in time.
Savvy
Trees store secrets
Echoing in the echelons
In their barks and trunks
In the leaves and stems
In them is a wealth of wisdom
Of times gone by
To discover for the future…
Nurture nature
Save trees.

Here is an interesting link.
A throwback…
I have fond memories of black and white photographs taken by my dad in his old box camera. The three pictures that I can quickly recollect are a representation of my world back in the era of black and white. Be it watching the swaying coconut trees and the shimmering water on moonlit nights, or the artistry of those antique time pieces collected by my grandfather and of course those lively evenings in my childhood years, where the old gramophone would play so invitingly that we would all be waltzing and jiving away to evergreen hits. Yes nostalgia filled me in those verses, but with happy memories.
Black and white photography
An art form for a connoisseur
Aesthetics of understanding
Of the clarity of line
That plays hide and seek
So much resemblance
To the wisdom of time.
In seeking is the blending
Of reflections dissolving
Ever so hard to pin down
Faded visions blurred memories
Reminding of colour through our senses
Perspectives differ in the past recalled
Comparisons translucent in the semi presence.
An important feature
Are the shades of grey
Areas masked and marked,
Blurring to focus
Uncaliberated and undeliberated
Between the lines
Adding enigma
Surreal feelings
A take back in time
Of notions in nostalgia.
Savvy
Today I thank in gratitude
The power of the mind
The heart and the spirit
Our body is blessed
With many gifts of the soul
Which we are yet discovering
The strength of intentions
The power of intuition
Of conscious awareness
In practice of mindfulness
Of possibilities in our potential
In the movements of stillness
In the stillness of moves
In the silence of meditation
All, in this journey within
Betwixt inside outside & beyond…

Today I share not one but two different scenarios as poems, I have written for the following verses on hope.
Do share your thoughts on it.
“Her eyes wander to find him
Amongst a sea of faces
Knowing he is there somewhere
Hope is here to stay “
The first love
She was a teenager in love
For the very first time
She felt the joy
To express with all her heart
The joy of being with another
Two hearts so full of love
In a world all their own.
He wrote her poems
And read each one out loud
It was an idyllic love
Too good to be true
And in time life happened
And they parted ways
But the feelings still the same
Etched in memories
And never forgotten
No matter the ravages of time.
Yet life never stops for any one.
Life brings in beautiful moments
That makes life worth living
People come people go
But memories, last at eternity…
The Mother
She is old and wrinkled
Yet oft her memories rush
To that fateful day
When a trip to the beach
With friends and family
Changed her life forever.
For as the sun set on that day
In that crowded beach
She lost her only son
And the meaning to live on.
And to this day, in every crowd
Her eyes look out
Searching for her little son
In a sea of faces
No matter the river of time …
Life has its own challenges
For every life in the living
But hope is unending
For hope is here to stay.
