Life rolls on, much like this cart,
serving flavors to every heart.
It’s not the feast, but how we please,
sometimes happiness is just ..cheese.

Relearning You
A uniformed heart
Dad may not say the perfect phrase,
He may be lost in grown-up days.
But every night he comes back home,
To understand how much you’ve grown.
He watches close, though not too near,
Afraid you’ll shrug or disappear.
He listens hard when you half-share,
And learns to pause, to just be there.
He may ask twice what you just said,
His eyes look tired, nodding head.
But still he tries, and still he stays,
To meet your world in newer ways.
He may not get your music right,
Or memes you laugh at late at night.
But still he asks, then asks once more,
Trying to reach your inner shore.
He might not know your favorite song,
Or if your answers take too long.
But still, he waits, behind the noise,
To hold your dreams, your fears, your voice.
He walks the line of strong and soft,
Still learning how to lift you aloft.
You may not see the grace it takes
To hold your storms when his heart breaks.
He sees the flicker in your eyes, the battles fought in muted sighs.
But still he shows up every day,
Learning your world, your teenage way.
He speaks of self, of lessons earned,
Of roads he’s walked and bridges burned.
But deep within, his truest part,
Hopes you’ll outshine his every start.
He lived a life in olive green,
Where orders ruled and fears were seen.
Far from home, in lands unknown,
He stood for more than just his own.

The Reality
How do significant life events or the passage of time influence your perspective on life?
Love, relationship, money or health which is the most precious I used to wonder..!!
‘Priorities Change ‘…time then taught me
Cause life takes you through it all, sunshine, moonlight, rain and thunder.

The Wait
The wait was over, and she was standing there dreaming away while dressed in the brightest shades.
She wished he would come back, before the colour in her cheeks slowly fades.
Engrossed in her thoughts, she lost count of minutes and hours.
For her happiness knew no bounds, and it’s fragrance overwhelmed even the flowers.

Ignore
I knew IT was there,
all I had to do was open the door.
But my crazy mind grumbled, "Why exactly do you want to struggle more?"
I laughed and moved on because I wanted to ignore my mind.
If you pay attention to everything it says, you will fall far behind.
The door opened and it was right there smiling warmly at me.
"You are the winner," it said, "and I am the OPPORTUNITY."

I Am A Kid
It was pouring so I came back home,
To chat with and be next to mom.
She has always been there with a smile on her lovely face.
And I couldn’t help but sleep in her cozy embrace.
“Why can’t life always be so simple”, I asked her the next day.
“It is.” She replied with a smile. “We just complicate it in our own way.”
If you remain a child forever at heart, you will realise.
You don’t need to grow up to be happy and wise.
For its a kid who laughs n cries the most when needed.
It’s a kid who doesn’t think of tomorrow or what if life ceases.
It’s a kid who makes no conclusions just flows like a gentle breeze.
So just be a kid always, so that life’s best you can seize.

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.

Stay Light
Synthesising melodious symphonies happens easy to a bamboo, it’s hollow though,
I wonder why humans always carry their weight too and fro.
If keeping your head in the centre n not too weighed up makes you succeed,
Then isn’t it easy to stay humble, and cheerful as you gracefully lead.
Animals, birds and plants must be contemplating each n every day,
If evolution means so much of misery and pride may it never come our way.

The Folds
As time unfolded I realised,
The realm of joy and tears.
It’s a perspective that I had built,
Or maybe some inbuilt fears.
The people and the situations,
The good, bad, funny,
They seem too trivial now,
All weathers seem joyous, rainy, chilly or sunny.
Whilst these surrounded me,
For times beyond any measure,
Each phase of life has in it,
Experiences beyond a treasure.
Every being seems to respond in a way that he thinks is right,
For another one that may be a disaster or selfishness of a height.
.
To keep ourselves unbothered of the other people and their ways,
Just remind yourself that’s their life, don’t interfere, that’s what Karma says.
