A night to remember…

Vision & verses by Savvy Raj

A moonlit night
The beach glows bright
Silvery waves, sugary white

As the last of the seagulls take flight
Evening dusk shadows the skylight.

To behold, what a sight

To remember, what a night.

Balancing the breath



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 lady on the tree

I wrote this poem below years ago. I had no idea about  who Julia Hill was back then. And today I was reminded of  my poem, when I came across her story. She is an  American Activist who saved Luna the redwood tree by living in it to prevent loggers from cutting off the tree and […]

Trust that

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…

Take time

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.

Unearthing The Self

Photo by cottonbro on Pexels.com

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 .

River of time

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

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.

Infinite time

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.

The choice is yours to take

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.

Map in my veins

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.

Touching time

Photo memories (from my travels)

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.

May be another day

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.

Power of now

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.

Wisdom Of Trees

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.
