An Embrace from the Heart

.
.
The World
Sheds
Petals
And
Feathers
And
Beauty
And
Tears
And I
Gather them all
In a warm
Embrace… 珞

The Slow Unfolding

.
.
Intricacy in nature
The meandering
pace of it
The gentle
unfolding
Of tendrils
And buds
And petals
And leaves
All seem to say
We’ll find
Our own
unique
way
To bloom


The Peace we Carry ❤️

.
.
We carry our lives
Within us
Our worries
Our stresses
Our joys
Our dreams.
And, sometimes,
We come out
Of ourselves
And confront
The beauty around us
We stop
Thinking
We just ‘are’
For that fraction
of a moment
We make a memory
That we’ll carry
In our hearts
Forever…
That memory of
A golden tree
A golden road
And a stranger
Chanting
His prayers… 💕

Black and White

When he paints
He becomes
a happy child
All his colours
Going wild
In an art file,
That’s his
biggest treasure
A place that gives him
Endless pleasure
And every artwork
He imprisons
with a marker
black and white
A visual barrier
Against the fights
And
Within these boundaries
His happy world lies
Wiping off his tears
Soothing
his anguished cries

A ‘Thank You’ note 🙏🌺

Over the years
Over many
A luncheon
And
Dinner date
We’ve shared
A hot meal
Philosophy
Psychology
Poetry…
Life on a plate

Meandering down
Memories
Of before and after
You’ve brought
Wise insight
And contagious laughter
To simple moments
Threaded together
Into days and years
Smiles and tears
Faith and fears…

An engaging tapestry
Hand-woven
With care
Strong enough
To shelter
Wide enough
To share… 💖

For all this
And more…
Thank you!
🌺💕

Gather Yourself…

Gather yourself

Like you do
Flowers for prayers
In the morning
One by one
Till your basket
Overflows

Gather yourself
Like you do
Strands of silk
To weave
Into something
Exotic

Gather yourself
Not because
You’ve come apart
But because
You are the part
That completes

You

Tell Me…😊

Is it only me
Or
Do you wait too
For the hook
Of a new book
To sink into you
And grab
Your heart
And mind
And
Take you
To an unknown world
You always wanted
To find…?

Or else
You might wander
And
Another book ponder
Leaving the first
Unread
Half its words
Unshed
Like clouds that form
But
Do not rain
Even though you wait
In vain…?
