Ripple of Light

What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world?

To spark a smile, a kinder tone,
To help someone feel less alone.
A tiny shift, a brighter hue
That’s the change I hope shines through.

A New Carpet in the Library

Scour the news for an entirely uninteresting story. Consider how it connects to your life. Write about that.

The paper said the library changed its floor,
Soft beige now lines where silence pours.
No launch, no fanfare, no breaking tweet,
Just threads beneath a thousand feet.

And isn’t life a little like that too?
New ground, old dreams, a quieter view.
Not every day must thunder or shine,
Sometimes change just walks in… soft-spined.

Unplugged, Unmasked, Unrushed

What would you change about modern society?

I’d slow the race, hush the constant chase,
Replace screens with more face-to-face.
Let hearts find pause in the noise we’ve made,
And make kindness a currency that’s always paid.

Breakfree

Have you ever unintentionally broken the law?

“I rise beyond my bounds each day,
I pave my way through skies of gray.
The laws that say I can’t transcend,
Unintentionally, I break and bend.”

Ascend

She rose above them all,

Above the blues, which weighed her down.

The crimson splendour embraced her with joy, as the branch gently caressed her.

Her efforts were truly worth a beautiful crown.

The Mushroom Brigade

The greens often lead me to dense woods,

To the wilds, that are  impenetrable and chaotic. 

Amongst the trees that appear haphazard to me,

Amongst the clouds that nearly look hypnotic

Today as I wandered once again in the morning

I witnessed an army going up a tree.

I questioned them inquisitively “Why can’t you be scattered?

Why are you disciplined even when absolutely free?”

“We don’t like to mess up this beautiful trunk”, they said.

It gives us support, nutrition and strength that we need.

Unlike humans who clutter the earth with utmost disrespect.

And tend to forget that she is not just the foundation but also the one who feeds.

As I Row On


Amalgamating with the environment and situations that happened to happen,
Tides of time propelled me up and down,
Ceaselessly the winds have caressed me throughout the voyage,,
Never did I ever feel adrift; in fact I have been a queen, always held my crown.

Yes, at times I have been surrounded by crowds, known or unknown,
When the waves were rough, I was abandoned too,
But moments of despair never existed,I must say,                       

IF YOU ARE IN QUEST OF LIFE, YOU ARE THE CAPTAIN AND YOU ARE THE CREW.

Fear of losing has never dispirited me,
Never have I ever lost the same battle again,
I choose to learn each time I stumble,
I guess no rainbows appear in the absence of rain.

Excuses, explanations and regrets, have never been a part of my itinerary,
Else the ride becomes arduous and upstream as one moves on,
Walking  through the circumstances has enriched me manyfold,
It’s my life,  so with my choices I love to adorn. !!.

The Eternal Shades

The festival of colours, as we celebrate,

The skies desired to be colourful too.

Nature’s  palette contained warm, infinite and fathomless shades,

I wish ours were also so profound, and not so few…!!

The Winter Of Life

With the winter setting in, I realised, it’s the time to get into a cosier nest.

Within me though, there was a different thought, should I keep myself zealous as ever or should I rest?

The people who go into hibernation once they reach the winters of their lives,

Never know how the fish is alive under the frozen river water and how a little bird who migrates over vast lands, thrives..!!

As we season we should remember where the next minute would take us we are unaware.

Then why to miss even insignificant moments as we age, why to just give away our share.

Veracious Twilight

“But you were small last time..we met”.. she could not believe he was so tall,

The elder sister that she was, she was there for all his little falls.

They posed in front of the mighty sea as it embraced the sun ‘n it’s glory,

And the unstoppable waves, collided all around, to be a part of this beautiful story.

The gentle sea breeze tickled them and whispered as they smiled,

A sibling is always your best friend, grown up or as a child.
