Soulful Beauty
Dedication in remembrance of my brother, Dipak💞
Reminders
Zesty and vibrant,
Joyful winter reminder
Brightness can be found.
Winter Bloom
Perfectly balanced
Bedazzled with citrus gems
Strength, beauty bound in one
Infused
You the fragrant rose
Blooming under watchful eye
Of infinite love
Graceful Governance
From the Big Bang
To global warming,
We are here.
From evolution
To revolutions,
We fight to be here.
From independences
To globalization,
We speak up to be here.
From all things actualized
To their demise and re-emergence,
We continues to be here.
And so here we are
Encapsulating a gratitude,
Denoting a day.
To remember and share
The privileges, gift, abundances gathered
Over the history of mans toil.
All along, the almighty power
The indestructible,
Which was, is and will be
Sustains, an entire universe
A galaxy
An ecosystem.
Transferring, transmitting
Evolving, so life permits
That you and I can be.
Insufficient is then, a mere day of thanks.
Like life,
Let gratitude permeate each moment
Which comes from the deepest understanding,
Born from accepting our fragility,
And a graceful governance
Where the birds and bees,
Flowers and trees
To man himself,
Are all held,
Yet free
To live and be.

Dawn Sky
All facets of life
Incapsulated in a moment,
From undoubted beauty
To looming fears.
Voluminous clouds
Mightily they float,
Threatening to spew
And drown you out!
Yet the intrigue
Of color and form,
Capture both heart and breath,
A moment now, forever lived.
Do we more often
Get lost in fear?
Of what may come?
What may happen?
Forfeiting the present
In which we can feel
Simple joys,
Gratitude and inspirations.
This grand gesture of beauty
Is bequeathed each day,
As the love from within
Will shine in our eyes.
That guiding presenceÂ
Then shapes your day
As you see the treasure
Lined up for your pleasure.
Window to Love
Pressed against the pane,
Cool then misted
Clear then obscure.
Convinced my love
I was waiting for.
Eyes searching
Heart yearning
Feeling empty like a shell.
The rays of light
Giving rise to the rainbow
Bring nature’s embrace by color.
Below my window,
Bees saying hello
Kissing the tips of lavender buds.
Swooning in the late afternoon sky,
Starlings riveting dance
Spilling the vision of romance.
No latch to keep out
My love surrounded me
All whilst sitting on my window sill
Grant me Solace
They say it’s importantÂ
To acknowledge your feelings,
Mine burn deep
Searing like a heated knife.Â
Sadness, disappointmentÂ
Futility mixed with
Mayhem and barbarianism
The anguish insufferableÂ
Simultaneously we are
Isolated, quarantined
Where will this all end?
Man’s eye like a microscope,
Disproportionately viewing life
Distorted by imaginationÂ
Enlarging the illusion.
With no regard
For the ‘third’ eye,
Where lies his clarity
Abundant and beyond compare.
I pray for a united returnÂ
Of humanity,
Kindness and peace
Simple joys.
Where greed, power
Egotism are quelled voluntarily,
As realized that we are nothingÂ
But dust in the end.
Yet here we are,
Kings and queensÂ
In a moment in time,
And granted pleasures in multitudes.
What can be that deciding factor
Whether we live in peace and harmonyÂ
Or divided and disgruntled?
Gazing up into the sky
The sun, moon and stars peacefully
Focused, levitate and orbitÂ
Constant in their mission.
Down here on earth
I see the equilibrium of nature,Â
Of which I am a part
With a privy to consciousness.
Herein lies my blessing and solace,
For not only can I sing and dance along,
But also acknowledge the OrchestratorÂ
The One to whom I benevolently belong.
Voices vs Noise
My thoughts inspired by the RBG and current noise.
I speak
For when children
We’re only meant to be seen.
Obedience seen as a great virtue,
Not of the child
But perfect parenting.
The child conditioned
That those in authority , if happy,
Lead to their happiness.
I speak
For the young girl
Who has always waited second in line to the boy.
I speak
For the ethnic amongst us,
Chastised and ridiculed for our natural differences.
I speak
For the elderly, the poor, the veterans,
All those who’s voices are dismissed.
I speak
For all we have misunderstood,
For all we have had a hand in the making.
And now, I not only speak
But pray,
For a call to our senses, our consciousness.
With the raising of that conscious voice,
Only then will any speech
Be worthy for the time given to listen.
