Hope is here to stay

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.

Dance of matter

Every move has  a reaction

In the cause  and effect world

Forms shifting shapes

Colours changing  hues

Where even the blink of an eye

A touch of the breeze

Or even a silent intention

Can set off a symphony in response

For all is aligned in connection.

Twisted or helical structure

In a Self arranging universe 

Reflecting retracting

Rotating revolving

Tuning  itself in time

Blending in the balancing

Altered by sensitivity in subtlety

Interplay of Intelligence

Telling phenomenonal stories

Holding immense possibilities

In its infinite potential

Awaiting mindful application

In the journey of awakenings .

All is a dance of matter.

Miracle of Autumn

Miracle of autumn

Colours changing season

Rich burnt orange rust

Fill leaves of green as they fall

As if announcing arrival of fall

Signaling animals and birds

To prepare ahead of the cold

Of winters frost on the anvil

To brace the changing weather.

A season of love & embrace

Of  long walks with loved ones.

Of long nights and shorter days

That heads through to winter.

Make the best of the changes.

Coherence  Part 2 

Much happens in the sounds

Much happens in the silence

For it is never still

The troughs and crests

The highs and lows

The swing and the sways

Are all but a dance of waves

Of energy in the flow of life

Asserting in the ascent

And subsiding in the descent.

Shaping itself in the changes.

Much like notes of music

Coming together in coherence

And the spaces between notes

Making music to those

Who care to sense.

All parts to the same whole

Finding meaning  in itself.

Finding purpose for itself.

Such is the circle  of life.

Savvy

This is part 2 of my painting  interpretation of Coherence inspired  further from the two interesting comments  by   @Katiemiafredrick and @Simon here.

Coherence

A painting by Savvy Raj

When energy aligns

Syncing in synchrony

There is a dance of coherence

Resonance occurs

In these changes

No matter the circumstances

No matter the challenges

Creating connections

Building bridges 

Narrowing gaps 

In understanding

Bettering communication

Everything  comes together

And begins to make sense.

As the words flow

As writers I am pretty sure many of us can relate to this …

A few thoughts on writing and how it helps me every day.

I write with a sincere heart
Honouring the words that flow
Feeling the truth of my potential
As the waves of thoughts
Light my day, along the way…
As much as my spirit & soul
It’s one of my self care routine
To sense & emote and express
Without fear or favour.
So grateful for the blessings,
It gives.
🙏

On writing every day

I have been writing every day for almost a decade now, it has become a well ingrained habit. I thoroughly enjoy my me time. Most days it’s every morning  time that I pen my thoughts,  but I never force it to a particular time. Someday it’s a joy to write  down whenever  I feel the inspiration.

And Inspiration is everywhere

I simply started on a lark and  what is beautiful is, every day there is always something  that inspires the words . And I hope to continue as  long as the words flow…

How has writing improved your life ?

How do you approach your writing?

Self Healing

Head to toe

Toe to head

Breathe it out

Let it go..

Heal overwhelm

Heal overthinking

Heal your heart

Heal yourself

In the mixed bag of lides emotions

Some get felt a little too deeply

Embedding  itself into the psyche.

And affecting thoughts & actions

Emotions too need release

Unshackle to let go and free up

Cut the cord of emotions

Before they overwhelm you.

Find some time to breathe it out

To process and reflect & let go

To exhale the unwanted emotions.

And heal your heart .

Every breath matters

To breath well is a blessing . For every breath is never to be taken for granted.

In every breath we take

Let’s value this gift of life.

Acknowledging our breath

Lets breathe in ease .

Lets take a moment

In between breaths

Pause with ease

Relax the self

To let go with ease

And repeat…

Every breath matters.

As the light dawns

As light dawns
It dispels darkness
Spreads hope & cheer
Bringing joy & happiness
To all touched by this light.

As the waves of light
Transmit itself in the world
Hearts heal and life regenerate
For light is meant to be the light
Care to sense the light of you.

Heart matters

The same heart that loves

Hurts some day

The same heart that hurts

Heals some day

The heart is extremely versatile

Capable of being adaptable

Beyond our fears and doubts

Capable of love and hate

And all the shades in between.

From going green with envy

To blossoming  like red roses…

Heart beats on its own tune

Take care of the heart

Feed it well

Stay happy and healthy

In good faith and trust.

For life is in the heartbeat.

And so it flows

Swimming in a sea of words

Riding on waves of  thought

Rowing with the oar of faith

Sailing on a ship of trust 

Flowing along the ocean of time…

I am grateful for the blessings

Of words that fill my heart

Thankful for the creative thoughts

In the receiving I share

In the sharing I receive

And so it flows…

What do you see?

What’s the first thing that comes to mind?

Is it the nature of the land?

Do you sense the sandstorm?

Do you see the vivid colours of the womens clothes juxtaposed against the barren land?

Do you see them huddle together taking refuge with no where to go?

This picture evokes emotions.

The wind, the women

Heads to toe covered 

Yet braving the sun barefoot 

The sand across the land

The parched dry pots.

What else do you see?

Let the seasons be…

If a day could be wrapped in a minute

If a year could be tucked in a season

Life would happen too fast

With no time to simply be

Life would be one rushed affair

Wish nothing in a hurry

Let the days be, to dare

Let the nights be to rest anew

Let the flowers bloom in hope

And let the leaves rustle in the wind

Let the seasons come by

All in good time

For you and for me.

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 refusing to backdown.

Today I dedicate this very poem to her and the likes of her and their unwavering spirit to save trees.

The Lady on the Tree.

In the centre of placid calm stands an angel of hope and resilience.

She has birds of hope surrounding her haloed presence.

Be like the lady on the tree.

In the stillness of the water… sensing your spirit feel so free,

Climb the tree in the serenity of the calm and unwind.

Bring composure to the cursory mind.

Move away from the mundane.

And feel more humane.

See the birds dancing by your side,

Singing their sweet songs of hope that will always reside!

Tread gently and softly move

In your journey as you find your groove.

Climb that tree and rest awhile.

Witness the water silently settle.

Renew your spirit and discover your mettle.

Delve in the solitude, seeking the clarity in the calm, unbound

As in still waters run deep, the wisdom profound.

And life goes on

What was freshness of springtime

Matures with the changing seasons

At times hot dry or humid  summers makes life unbearable

Soon the downpour of rains flood the parched land with greens

Another autumn as orange rust leaves renew themselves

Winter chills brings it’s own white snow at will

Trees bereft of leaves lay bare their dark branches

Awaiting for another change  of season.

And life goes on…
