Let me let go of my desire to condense it into words

For the infinite love needs the expansiveness of silence

Unbound by utterances, it touches me in the pauses

So let me let go of the desire to bind it any form

For the infinite love, no one’s a stranger

And every aspect of this universe is home!

As it turns cold outside

Making it unbearable to survive

When darkens seems to be the mainstay

Let the love in your heart

Be your torch light

May you glow in it its warmth

And pass the warmth to every passer by

Will it melt the snow or make the sun shine bright?

Probably not.

But it will surely make you see the enchanting beauty

Of a frozen lake on a full moon night!

When I wake up to your call

I know you are talking to my soul

You take me beyond

The thought woven cob web of my mind

To a deep peace of this moment

Always there but we seldom care to find

I dare not try understand or comprehend,

Listen, feel and transcend.

My free willed messenger Godsent!

“Fall” & “Grace” were never meant to get along.

Until I see her fall steeply on rocks and sing a song.

In awe, I wonder as she surrenders

To this moment and accepts the mighty fall.

Does she quiver at the tip of the mountain standing tall?

Oh! She probably does like every other soul.

Still she takes the leap of faith

Making the world spellbound,

With her beauty & grace.

When your heart feels a little cramped

Thoughts seem knotted up, hard to untie

Pick up a brush, and paint your own wide blue sky

Is it the perfect moment, the perfect brush?

Keeping the tingly thoughts aside.

Stay in the moment, stay in touch.

You will discover the old worn out brush has magic too,

Adding volume, Adding depth

To the floating clouds and crashing waves

Let your soul soak & surf

Allow yourself to make mistakes

For vastness of the sky

And depth of Ocean never judge

They embrace you in Love

In your True being, just feel them Hug!

When the winter turns the sky all grey,

Stretching darkness, shortening days.

Deep within the soul of the earth,

Lies silently the daffodil bulb.

With trust, acceptance and hope

Affirming – “I will rise and I will dwell”

As the winter frost slowly fades,

Not losing a moment it blooms again.

Brightening up the soul

That are frozen in pain

Daffodil’s fragrance traversing

With the spring breeze

Whispers to each one

“You will rise and You will dwell”

Like a white ray of light

We keep traversing life.

Until we pause and look

Through the prism of our hearts.

To see the full spectrum of colors

we truly are

Dark, dull, bright, deep

Intense & bold.

Each hue is us

Both rust & gold

Caressing the intense colors of trauma untold

Reminiscing the pleasant pastel shades of love

With acceptance each unfolds

We are all of it or none at all.

Radiating beyond & across

Setting the dark sky ablaze

with light, with love
