A song to inspire you

Wish you to be my guide to write this song,

Let the music in the air flow through my words.

Help me personify music with all its glory,

Let the mountain of emotions in my heart,

Ride this song into the sunset.

Raging through the winds with exhilaration,

May the notes in my song carry the essence of my soul.

I wish to part with thee, the fire in my heart, my inspiration

I wish to sing a song with you today.

Come back to life and let us be 18 again,

I summon thee, chords of this unseen beauty,

Fill the heart and soul of the one who reads.

Feel the bliss in the sounds around you,

Light the fire in your depths,

And let this beacon of light show you the way.

The symphony and melody of life written in this purest form,

May it inspire you to sing a song every day.

Live every day to its fullest,

May there be love, joy and happiness,

May there be no regrets,

Let the music in your heart light the path to your goal.

Listening to the heart

The yearning ---------------------- I had grown tired of the city I was living. Life had started to follow a routine. It was comfortable and it was good but in those minutes between, I had started to think otherwise. It had reached a point where those few minutes between started to influence the good times and I started to consider. Maybe it is time, I moved on. Move on from this comfort zone I was currently living to something new. Doubt ---------- Right now, there are moments I wonder if made the right choice. I realize it only means I should have done it sooner. The smooth and fast pace is now replaced by a need for patience, and learning and creating the new normal. I am now surrounded by a new set of people. A friend had once pointed out, " You are an acquired taste". So in all those moments of anxiety, I remind myself, give it time. Let the episode of your brash arrogance fade away, you can shine after. Until then, stay focused, there is a herculean task ah...

A lesson for all times

Remember the boy who cried wolf, Deceiving the good folk again and again, Not realizing the repercussions, The villagers lost faith. Remember the boy who cried wolf, Whose momentary lapse in judgement, For a fading temporary amusement, Lost him his life and livelihood. Not knowing the repercussions, He amused in the pleasure of his actions, Not knowing the consequence, He indulged in his dishonest deeds. When the day of reconning arrived, He was standing alone, Facing the might of karma, What goes around comes back around The lessons of honesty and faith he learnt, Though too little too late, Passed down through generations, From a mother to son, father to daughter Helping mold young minds, To imbibe the values of honesty, In the grand scheme of things, Understand the value of trust and faith. But life is such, It tempts one to lie and cheat, Than stand your ground, Because it is easier to sway.

Stone Gods

Photo Credit: Chris Ensey Worship Gods carved into stones, With deep reverence stemming from generations, Wishing for health and prosperity, For yourself and your next of kin. Shower gifts and offerings in plenty, Hoping for a blessings, a better future, In return for our unsullied adoration, Pray stone Gods save our tomorrow. Do they truly? Or is it a facade of our "self", A "self" that we are too estranged to see, A "self" lost in the pages of our beliefs. Aching for validation in rocks, Why don't we chisel inward through the veils of our glorified illusion, Seek within, and reverberate with every speck for all the faith we yearn, And in return find the self that was once born pure. But if you must, pray to the sun that shines every morning, Pray to the winds that bring rain, Pray to the earth that lay beneath, Pray to your health that suffers your carnage everyday.
