Bench in a park has a dedication, In memory of a loved relation. Honoring departed ones are an old tradition, Motivation can be a connection, a perpetuation. Relationships do not end with passing of a person, Sometimes, it can even stir deep latent emotion, Propelling new work and action, To carry on a loved one's … Continue reading Legacy
Decisions in life determine destiny, Choices galore with and without ceremony. From simple yes or no; To complex stop or go. Like a fork on a boulevard, But without a google map to guard. Some use logic, reason and experiences to decide, For others, its their heart’s desire that they bide. Some can carve a … Continue reading Decisions
Teen daughter recently said, your writing is sanguine but serious, She suggested, I write something simple and spontaneous, Not didactic, yet delicious, Preferably funny and humorous. I promised to try. But mostly to get by. She has given me a task tough, As if my writing is not enough. Our children are our biggest critic, … Continue reading Daughter’s Dilemma
From the texts that teach, To the men that preach, Faith lies in between. From fervent declarations of love, To blood thirsty hate, Control like a trapeze artist balances in between. From zenith of joy and happiness, To depths of despair and sadness, Equanimity satisfies in between. From playful, carefree childhood, To pensive, responsibilities filled … Continue reading In Between
Beyond towns, cities and nations, We are all citizens of our minds. Here we live, imagine, speculate & interpret, Words, gestures, actions and reactions. We visit our mind’s rooms often, For the what’s, why’s, when’s and how’s of our lives. Positive thoughts are fleeting, but negative ones flow easier. Do you wonder why? An unkind … Continue reading Citizens of our Minds
You gave me faculty. Bestowed me with ability. Showered me with agility and hopefully humility. Never doubted your existence, Have time and again experienced your benevolence. In happiness, despair and despondence, You have blessed with grace and radiance. You have helped me persevere, Look, listen, learn and revere. You were there to guide and steer. … Continue reading Belief
Today’s events turn to tomorrow’s stories, Tales recalled of shared experiences and soirees. Build today that you’d want to reminisce as you age, Many remembrances can be relived as you turn a page, Fill your life with a legacy of love and grace, not hate and rage. Construe memories that bring smile and satisfaction at … Continue reading Today & Tomorrow
Have you ever wondered how hot and cold blend? And to human state append. And how warm and cool extend, From food and beverage to mood bend(s). A hot head hurts and harms, A stealer of peace and calms. A cold heart turns away friend, Leaving one isolated in the end. A cool head helps … Continue reading Hot and Cold
Inspiration can appear anywhere- Some have found in stories of tortoise and hare. Others in mirrors, as they stare. Usually in situations that one doesn’t fear, but dare. Many seek in nature and its myriad layer. Millions in regular penance and prayer. Some visit seas, high mountains, temples, while others find in their lair. Depends … Continue reading Inspiration
A new day, a new page, Blank, unwritten, welcoming. It seems to beckon, “I have other things waiting,” I reckon. Another small voice nudges, "stop making excuses." The day is young, the sun is yet to sky light. But my mind is not fully awake and bright. I know it’s s easier to let my … Continue reading Zest or Rest
