Yes, I shall rest,Sleep while I still can.Embrace your strength,Beg you to understand. I need your patience,Pray, don’t betray me.Stick to the rhythm,This body’s harmony. Now don’t take offTo where eyes can’t see.Stop those strange tunes;Play in unity. So we can singThrough to destiny.You pound in my chest—I receive your blows. It’s just you and … Continue reading Heart

What If?
A terrible tremor Splits the sky into two Turning inside out What was true to you. A thundering lightning Bolts through your heart Burning to cinders All your precious parts. Would it be a wonder Could it even be strange That you’d hold it together And just turn the page. Does there have to be … Continue reading What If?
Beyond the Cold
Rustling leaves in the breeze,Whisper secrets through the trees.Golden light on fields serene,Nature’s gift, a bond unseen. Stop the chase, let the stillness win,Winter's here, let it settle in.The shadows stretch, but the whispers say,Spring will come to light our way. If your heart is aching, pour a little drink,Feel it flowing softly, giving time … Continue reading Beyond the Cold

Let it be
Sacred experience, Momentarily here, Suddenly gone, Far yet near. Mystery not to be unveiled, Silent in the starry night, Living, breathing, Beyond earshot and sight. Between the shadows A flame burns bright, Autumn leaves Blow away in flight. Silence, friendly silence Healing finds the soul, Sleep, gentle sleep Time to find a home. Artist: Vijaylakshmi … Continue reading Let it be
From Pain to Inspiration: Turning Discomfort into Creativity
It’s funny how physical discomfort can shape our thoughts. After a few days of pondering, I decided whether or not to take treatment. A single Phytosun tablet dissolved niggling joint aches and pains. It created a stable flood of comforting warmth. Curiosity and a yearning for understanding led to an unexpected burst of body-related imagination. … Continue reading From Pain to Inspiration: Turning Discomfort into Creativity

Sometimes, Frickety-pop the Clock
Its hot in the train. A trespasser has been detected on the line and all movement has halted. A “stuck” situation that doesn’t do much for all the planning and mindful time management that has gone into the start of the journey. A reflection of the past three hours brings to focus the sabotage caused … Continue reading Sometimes, Frickety-pop the Clock
Forget Me Nots
In the midst of the buzz The hum, the ratta-ti-tum A melody floats like a feather Brushes the skin Touches the heart Grips the soul Then disappears Into the never ever Eyes lift their gaze Into a blank spot Traveling alone Through a portal Into an infinity Of forget-me-nots Forget me not.
Moonshine
She lingers in the clouds A beacon in the sky Remembers the rose A sign she will not die. Her beams descend upon Earth Caressing skin and face Warmth lingers Joy reflecting in shine As a heart opens somewhere To discover simple things Yet no words are spoken And Moon continues to beam. Someone has … Continue reading Moonshine
