Category: The heart speaks

It is a small word but a long one when you “Wait” it causes a stir at first, a longing, pleasure and then pain. Even flowers take time to bud and bloom beautifully, The seeds have to be buried deep, yes the whole grain. Morning mists appear translucent, shining and pure, the birds wait to talk to us, chirping and flying at dawn The horizon a red glow, an aura of The superior sanctity! All awaiting to rise afresh , carry tasks and with the day get on. The damsel waiting at the bus-stop for her bus or is it her beau eager anticipation, fluttering butterflies make her believe, today he shall arrive and their meet would be a beautiful moment . Hours have gone by and she has to give up, cry soft tears and leave. Time waits for no one, just try to wait and see! Overly joyous feeling turns to become a painful tryst with destiny. Repeatedly one hopes, bears the stares, the sullen heart so heavy tomorrow I shall return, for today it is again not meant to be! As sands get washed by the surfing sea, I cling on to the shadows yes, the wave brings a song to the heart, and leaves mercilessly. The sun goes down beyond the horizon, purple, red and orange hues fill the sky and slowly burden my mind with his sweet little lies. Tomorrow the Wait shall be over, a miracle I shall see ! My love shall soon appear… my silly heart always cries!

Arms spread out she called me sweetly, ” Come to me” with my first baby steps, I knew I had a race to win quickly. It brought abundant joy to her face lit with glee. I cackled, laughed and ran in mom’s arms very happily!

When I fell, failed or felt sad in life’s misery! My source of laughter, my mom simply said to me. The world may shun you, disappoint you hate you, it is to be! Just put your hand on your heart, smile and count to three!

Playing with my little one when she laughed at everything that was not so funny I realised this emotion is the key to set our tensions free! We jump, jostle and dance to the tunes of life and agree that a new dawn is around every corner bringing its mystery.

This emotion is given to protect you from losing your sanity! Yes, I see old and young in the garden practising it as a therapy. Evokes the best from within, changes your perspectives immediately Its the best feeling, a choice, a blessing given solely to me !!!

A halo of orange, mesmerisingly sinks before my eyes! Another blessed day gone within seconds… There is a promise to come back tomorrow again It says “Come see me rise amongst the fronds”.

Stark reality, supernaturally so true Make it your belief , faith and reflect. The journey is a slow one for it across the vast sky Gives you time to ponder, wonder and introspect.

Paradoxical to our journey of life from nascence to sunshine, from lighter hues to very bright ! It stands to explain meaning of life being temporary to all… Yes the glow is strongest and brightest at twilight !

My heart always stops when sunset is near for its a time calling me to kneel and be in profound prayers I seek my loved ones’ blessings at that time for surely He is nearby to lend a ear and hear!

I capture images as the sun goes down each one seems different even if taken simultaneously… but when I flip through them, it tells a story how it shall return back again spontaneously!

” Mom, what does my name mean?”, the curious me asked Origins are from Turkey, means a lot of fragrance in one Loved that I spread such happiness around I would have been  a flower, if not a human…

Been in love with words since a little child Grammar books teaching homophones like the sun and son I dream, inspire, echo feelings all over with my words Would like to be a book to be read, if not a human…

Dazzling and dancing, nothing more beautiful than a star lit sky Clear nights I pray to see one shooting down The crescent of the moon snuggling them close I would love to be a star afar….if not a human

Feel free to fly for you have wings! My mom told me;” Dont let things bring you any burden. The load is too much to carry, release yourself” I want to be the free bird ….if not a human

.

Indiscrimination, injustice, inhuman behaviour makes me voice out only, act I cannot upon If each of us can save one life I would like to be “that” saviour….if not a human

Shades of calm blue I see as I sit on the sands tis a time to remember the past as I see the horizon many tales unfurl, some lessons to be learnt I wish to be the sea…if not a human

A mom of three lovelies, a wife, daughter and more I feel my journey in life has just begun There is so much to learn and do, but such little time  ! I would like to remain a role model….if not a human.

Shadows of faith fall against light, the absence of which enunciates its sharpness! Yes, let us retrospect and reflect our inner soul in the darkness!

Just by the wave of the magic wand, He turns a day to complete blackness! A beautiful sunrise of hope we yearn for the sunset on the horizon beams in happiness

For it will bring another day is the Hope! Simply believe in nature’s calmness. The sun says: ” I have to go away today. Tomorrow just gather your energy and harness

My mind believes in yesterday and tomorrow for today wastes no time for forgiveness! Hope awaits me at the end of the golden thread to bring me out of the gloominess

The world outside beckons out to me dewdrops, morning mist and spring flowers blooming I sniff the air, hear the chirp of the silent birds there is mystery, melancholy and a mystic morning The pollution no more, each day so pure I can see the minarets and temple bells again Smoggy clouds disappeared in lockdown too tis truly the time for introspection For tomorrow we may revert back to our lives Look outside the ‘Window” , its time to revive !
