Holding hands as we stand
Staring at the unknown, untrodden path
With the first ray of Dawn, shadows of doubt dissipate
Let's take the First step
Turning the pages to the next chapter
We will write together
There will be struggles, failures
Amalgamating Success
Only making it more meaningful
Once we progress
So, let's take the first step
Collaborating and accumulating
Experiences, Laughter, moments of Shine
Let's take the First Step
And move ahead.
Dusk set in, a flock of birds were home bound
I looked up at the sky- ablaze with the last rays of the setting sun
Sitting on the beach with the waves surging lazily
Creating ripples of emotions -of past present and future moments
Lived and missed
Lost and found
Amidst the cacophony of success and failure
Am I not enough, just being me?
Sitting idly enjoying the setting sun, here among the birds, the breeze and the sea?
Not measuring success only by achievement
But by living every moment, breathing free
Just as the breeze kissed my forehead and played with my tresses
It felt like Success, just by being me
Sitting idly enjoying the setting sun, here among the birds, the breeze and the sea
I found myself, not lost anymore
Living and loving
Looking forward to the next chapter
As the early rays of dawn
Marked the start of a New Morn!
This is an appreciation post for my world- Pluto (my furry companion)
If Happiness had a face, it will be like Yours, I am sure
Love, loads of it, is the only thing I have felt around you
You embody innocence, a heart so pure
We are lucky to be chosen by you
For sadness and pain, You are the cure
In your arms lie comfort, a companion so True
Coming back to you after a difficult day, is a feeling so secure
Your presence gives us strength to sail through
It looks like just yesterday and today you are already so mature!
Hope you feel the same way like we do, too
Here’s to many years of paw-someness and more!
God Bless!
An Acronym poem to express my Gratitude for all my Gurus- at Home, School , College and Work....
Glimpses from the bygone days flashed before my eyes
Rolling the canvas of Time I flipped through the pages of Life
A heart full of gratitude for my Gurus, at Home, Educational Institutions and Work
Thanks to all the knowledge bestowed upon me through Learnings and Experiences
Incredible people who made each interaction memorable
Teaching me Courage, Belief, Forgiveness, Empathy
Unique Values which have been engraved into my Being
Diverse thoughts yet converged into one- Empowerment
Everlasting memories bringing back the VALUES every time!
Empty rooms stare back at me
As the cartons lay stacked , one on top of another
The cool evening breeze whispers
“Winds of Change awaiting at the corner”
Leaving the known for the unknown
Untravelled paths , strange alleys, twists and turns
Yet another adventure, yet another chapter
“Winds of Change awaiting at the corner”
It seems just yesterday that we arrived
With hopes, dreams and aspirations to conquer
Blessed to have achieved a few, yearning for more
“ Winds of Change awaiting at the corner”
The evening cascaded into twilight, Twilight into Dawn
As the first ray of Sunlight embraced the portico
It was Time to move on, don the cape of the traveller
“ Winds of Change awaiting at the corner”
It was a bright Sunny morning
The air crisp and fresh
The dew drops glittering with joy
Wished me Good Bye
As I boarded the train for a long journey forth
My heart skipped a beat
The engine purred into action
My journey had begun.
Eager, excited, I Looked out of the window
As my city was left behind
Trees, valleys, meadows danced along
And the train chugged ahead.
The metal wheels moved in full swing
While the track paved the way ahead
Dollops of white clouds embraced the clear blue sky
Smiling I believe, happy as I
The compartment was full
Fellow passengers going to different destinations
But at the moment entwined together
Conversations flowed like the free flowing river
Stories , laughter, food …..shared and enjoyed
There sat an old lady,
sharing stories as old and
Intriguing as the wrinkles on her skin
The group a furlong away was singing happily
College students , I believe
The children played and made a delightful
Combination of colours and patterns
Of happy faces, faces which cannot be forgotten
The pages of my diary gets filled
With sketches of the happy moments
Which I know I will cherish, always.
Today as I sit and travel to those good old days
The old diary sits on my lap
How I wish I could go back
To those nomadic days
When I met strangers
But parted as friends.
Day 30, #OctPoWriMo2020
Thank you Morgan for all the amazing prompts and poetry forms. Thank you all for sharing your wonderful work here . Keep smiling and writing always!
Now, for the theme today, I am using the Acrostic form to describe an innate frame of mind that I have no matter what the situation is in life. This defines me and my identity.
“ Lively and Living”
Looking at all obstacles with determination
I have always moved forward in this journey
Valued all lessons learnt along the way
Egging on with resolution towards a New Day
Loving and Living every moment
Yearning to be the Best Version of Myself
Another change is another opportunity
Never backing down and breaking the continuity
Done with living in the past
Long gone are the days of unrest
Inviting positive thoughts no matter what
Vigor and vitality
Is what makes me, Me
Nothing negative will ever impact my emotions
Gearing up for what lies ahead, tomorrow and always!
