I often feel being a poet is a blessing. For the mere act of writing poetry heals in empowering ways. Lighting and delighting hearts, in between the verses in awareness. Poetry breathes in many possibilities. A piece of poetry speaks much about the soul & spirit of the poet. Discard the thought away that it’s just so frivolous. Discount not poets for being just a poet There is much that is yet to be discovered and harnessed.
For the words emerge to form a poem from a place of sensing & seeing more than what is.
I do believe more Poets need to be hired Not just as skilled wordsmiths But for the tact and strategy, if not for routine work. For there is great innovation in their imagination too. As they artfully build an imagery through mere words. As for verses, poet emote in their unique way At times structured and solid At times lyrical and fluid there is often a rhythm and reason as well. Oh yes, add attention to detail & seeing beyond the looking. And you have a potential worth exploring. Poets are by far undervalued for their observation But here is the truth. Poetry is an art Of expressing emotions Through impactful verses Mere words touch hearts When words flow from a place of authenticity. Of speaking with all of you as it flows from deep within. There is the power in the very vulnerability laid bare fearlessly. And that is a powerful concoction. Would you agree? What do you think now of a poet ?
An unrealized dream An unexplored adventure A challenging adversity A twist of fortune An unexpected detour An unwanted influence An undervalued feeling A undermined self-esteem A slew of slights A spate of illness A foreboding feeling An unfinished business An unforgivable mistake An unfortunate moment All may seem reason enough But the reality is these are excuses Remind your life happens. Time is moving its course Buck up and reset your path For you know in your heart You are enough for you.
Is the form you see Exactly the form I see Perhaps they differ In the way we choose to interpret.
Is form the mark of reality Does being formless makes it unreal Is form the contention To know the real and unreal.
Forms are shaped by intentions In dedication & deliberation. For forms become fleeting memories Perishing in the sands of time.
While the formless evolves in the heart Holding up to unfathomable faith They may live on in the silent knowing Of unspoken trust in the being.
Discernment of the forms In the inner recesses of the heart and the mind Waltzes the consciousness of the being In States of knowing ,of the truth of light
A light of wisdom That takes many forms Million times over To show the path of truth.
The path is lit As the steps are taken The forms manifest in the interactions Of vibrations in resonance.
Between these Illuminating illusions Of the form and formless What is real and unreal All are just reflections in the dimensions.
In the beam of even one moment of truth Is the convergence of envisioning Forms and formless become one Conveying the message safely home.
Wished a very enterprising friend On his birthday today Umpteen solar cycles wise He has weathered the storms of life And yet through it all is a joy to connect
I paused a moment when I read his reply beyond the thank-you. In his words…
“My days are long and boring, but at this stage of my life, boring is a desired quality. May life give you what you desire the most at every stage of your life”.
His words touched my heart
It speaks much of a spirit wanting to do much more A recognition of boredom, Is the desire to unravel life some more.
Boredom creates a space Between the steps In realization and acknowledgement Of the preciousness of time
And that is in itself, valuable For it is allowing you to tap into potential possibilities. And discover something more, awaiting your creativity on the other side of boredom. In finding the good in boredom Life isn’t so boring after all!
I thank my friend for his kind blesses & I wish my dear friend a fascinating birthday that lights up his day and brings joy to his heart.
Teach children to be open to new perspectives, nurture in them the ability to appreciate, it not only transforms them but also the way they interact in the world.
Are your thoughts so muddled that you just can’t think straight?
Well my friend, trust that this too shall pass
For your anger is self made from the agony
Of living life with frustration.
All you need is to acknowledge time as your best friend
For it shows you a new way in time
From reaction to response
But do you want to be responsible
For your self harm or healing ?
For your anger is destroying you.
Think about what ways you can flip the script you are telling yourself.
For its your thoughts and feelings that fuel your emotions, time and time again.
If your heart is hurt remember to think and align your heart with your mind.
If your thoughts are the reason and that anger is bubbling up your brain, know your heart is far expansive that you know, feel from your heart the love and forgiveness that stems from it. And align your thinking mind with the emotions of unconditional loving heart .
If both your heart and brain are a fire ball of fury then too you have the wisdom of your body. Train your body to move and realign yourself to help you step out of this phase.
Remember the potential for peace rests with you always.
It’s just a matter of acknowledging it. And bringing it into practice in response than reaction.
Peace is within you
Your infinite potential always included the peace that you actually are.
