Realization

The realization dawns that time slips away,
like sands thru hand, no control, just slipping away…
with life happening like ocean waves..
cresting and splashing with full force!
No longer the youthful fire, that inspires
the bountiful energy and the elated feeling
that you can conquer the world!
when achievements were the purpose of life….
everything came so quick and easy, it was intoxicating…
Youth happens….so quick, it is shocking!

Journey feels abundant and fulfilling,
from humble beginnings to,
boundless excitement and possibilities in life
the myriad of emotions and the ups & downs..
from the agony that tore you apart,
to the beautiful moments that brought happiness,
and still bring a smile on your face…

The tread is slower but the fire kindles,
with a renewed vigor and sense of wisdom,
redefining the purpose in life,
recreating the sparks that brighten the day,
that, in giving, is the receiving,
realizing that, letting go, is the key to happiness.

Letting it go

Far away, from hustle and bustle of the day,
I sit by the lakeside, under clear blue sky,
mesmerized by its reflections in lake,
soft breeze blowing and kissing water awake,
stirring ripples and senses by water splashing,
I let go of the noises within,
and watch the hum-drum of nature,
birds chirping, bees buzzing,
butterflies over flowers,
the quest for food and survival,
by innocent souls,
or in this complex existence,
playing their role..
I feel the nature unfolding at this very moment...
drawing me in...,
and then, I let it all go,
one more time...
Because I believe in destiny,
and it will take me home
So, I accept it,
not surrender to it,
but accept participating in it,
to guide my journey the way I want to!

Moonlight

Moonlight oh so bright..
Like a silvery dew on earth
The stillness and silence of night wraps around me
The trees, earth, air and sky..
all resting in the embrace of moonlight
Where is my embrace..where is my lover..?
I hope that he thinks of me as he breathes this white light
The moonlight, it burns, and the soft breeze hurts..
As I wait for his warm embrace
And soft caress and a kiss on my forehead
How he would beam with my glow..while I blossom
I remember those vivid precious moments...
as we watched the moon spread its splendor in the river..... wind rustles and serenades me, and I sing to you
sing with me, feel the warmth of moonlight and hear the music ..be with me

Happy Birthday Kirti!

Like a breath of fresh air,
Like a cool breeze in summer,
Like sunshine in rain,
Like soul of our bodies,
Like eternal joy in our lives,
You came and made everything else so worth it.
Happy birthday my Lovely daughter Kirti!
May God bless you with joy and happiness!

Light

Only in the realm of darkness,
does one see the sparks of life
They are missed in the brightness and hustle of the day
So dare to walk in the dark and see the enlightenment within,
Look for the stars and let them guide you,
you are nothing but a speck of dust
and ashes you will become,
But aim to be a lighting star to guide the way for others

Pain

The heart is heavy, the soul is bound
to free, it flutters, but falls aground
I recall her weak smile and frail body,
standing by the doorway
my heart feels heavy and the tears are wet
for all I remember is a silhouette
I remember bidding her bye and wishing her well
knowing very well, it was a goodbye and a farewell
the chord severed at birth, yet the pain is only now felt
the pearls of memories fray as your soul withers away
with your soul is my heart and soul bound
my soul will always be bound,
my tears will always be wet
my heart will always be heavy

Happiness

Each day has a gift to give,
small joys and big ones too
beauty to see and songs to hear
and wonderful things to do..
So, enjoy each day to the fullest
for they add up to nothing less
than a lifetime of lovely moments
and a heart full of happiness
