The Path

I walk the path in front of me
Moving towards nowhere
The trees, the birds, the scenic beauty around me
Captures my attention to the fullest.
Immersed in their beauty
I forget my destination
But the path is there
And nature’s leading me through

I keep walking
Not knowing wither to
But my mind isn’t sceptical
My mind isn’t confused
I am just my relaxed self
On my journey to nowhere

It no longer matters where my destiny is
I’m there
In this moment
Where I am
At this instant
In the midst of this very essence of beauty
Dancing to nature’s music
To the rhythm of my tapping feet
Of the branches swaying in the wind
Of the fountain of leaves co-ordinating the tunes

I enjoy my solitude
In the crowd of natural substance

I walk the path of life
Enjoying my journey...Unbothered of destiny

Power of Gratitude

Today has been a day of gifts!!!! And I've been doing a happy dance since morning! Infact it started last night when a much awaited amount of money hit our account and then I got a discount in an order I placed with a grocer! Today, I was a little upset about something from last night and was in question of how can I change it. The awareness I received was "What can I be grateful for here?" and I knew right away! That changed my mood to a bouncy one and we left home to pick up some stuff. Right then, I received a pending amount from someone and they chose to send a round off, making me the beneficiary! I was glowing in that, when she also offered me an unmatchable offer on her classes! So much gratitude! While I was just jumping with joy at that, the local coconut vendor decides to give us a discounted price on the tender coconuts; just for us! On our way back home from there, I was elated and literally shouting "Thank you Universe!!!!!" and at the n...

The Promise

I promise not to speak I promise to stay quiet and listen To every word pronounced And stay a kitten. I promise to help you I promise to stay I promise to wait For more than a day. Take your time And take mine too For the love we have Very few do. Take me to parties Take me to your friends’ Smile I shall From both ears’ ends. Be the good one, I will. Less talk, sweet smile Looks that can kill. The brand manager Of today’s man. Thy spouse Thy fan. Speak as I will Only on occasions that mandate Speak as I will Only on that particular date. I promise to be by your side In every endeavor. That I abide. But please, do me a favor. Don’t ask me to speak For I shall not. Never after you told me not to Never after we fought.

All that I don't want to

As I struggle with self love As I struggle to love the one I look in the mirror As I struggle to look at a fast changing face, a quickly ageing body As I struggle to come to terms with beauty as we see it As I struggle to come to terms with the abyss I seem to be getting pushed into Time n again, rising like the Phoenix I long back chose to be I write to express I write to cry it out I write to address My deepest pains n vent it out I write in creative expression Of all that I can’t express... ...And all that I don’t want to
