With each beat of your heart
Feel the swell
Let your eyes smart
And fill the well
The pound of gratitude
Can be soundless
As the torrent of tears
Can be boundless
Your heart maybe buried
Covered and cosseted
But your eyes will shine
The divine sublime
A prayer from the heart
So thankful and tender
Even with closed eyes
The message could not be clearer

From child to adult
Tantrums and triumphs
Explorations to exhibitions
Delving in books
Exploring the possibilities
Discovering the unbelievable
Dreams being planted
Passions evoked
Worthiness unquestionable
Trials and tribulations
Successes and successors
All necessary forces
Failure or conquest
Lessons are learnt
Purpose evolving
Formation of character
Revelation of spirit
Eruption of heart
From moment to moment
Feeling the essence
Learning the jive
No goal to reach
Prize is constant
With unlocking of now
If ever ordinary
Can go to extraordinary
This is how!!
In your honor Roshan, pleasure to witness your becoming!
Have you been
To the garden of secrets?
Where no gates occlude
And entrance has no fee?
Yet so arduous the journey
As the demon mind
Makes mighty strife
Torturing throughout this life!
With deep dark canyons
Tangling ravines
Needing to be assailed,
And no companion to take.
Yet with the drop of the eyelids
The journey can be swift,
Simple, clear and direct
Right into your inner Eden.
With a gentle beckoning each day
From a distant yet close
Fragrance and aura
There the divine garden awaits.
To flourish and flower
With your visitation
As that is all that’s needed.
You are the key
To your very own treasure
Yet you too are
The barricade blocking your way!
Choose your path,
Towards or away
Lonesome and hard,
Or simple and majestically serene.
Attire of regales
Naturally adorned
Yet what mighty weight
Held on sturdy shoulders
Looking ahead
With so much to protect
Head held high
Yet still humbled
With virtue of heart
Comes the clearest glory
Daily battles
Some won, some lost
Need no army
Wage no war
Crowned by birth
Dispute unworthy
Mother Nature’s King
Know you reign supreme!

for creating the challenge to write poetry to amazing photography and then publishing an online flip book..
Here is my page and below is a link to the flip book..
I take thee not for granted
Even when I know
You are in my every waking
And sleeping moment
Silent and still
I take thee not for granted
Even when you stand beside me
With or without
The sun
Casting a shadow
I take thee not for granted
Even though you are in the newest bud
To bud
And the oldest star
To twinkle
I take thee not for granted
Yet now I am reassured
Everyday brings new horizons
Where my fears are laid to rest
And my delights rise to fruition
I take thee not for granted
As in every pain and hardship
I have the strength of a smile
And the warmth of your wisdom
As what comes can only pass
And now I know, you only stray
As far as I, myself, let you go.
So sleep and wake I do
In that grateful remembrance,
That I am never ever alone!
Delicate droplets
Dance and prance, bringing awe
Divine beauty’s play
Todays post is a reading of Human Time, written by Atul Ranchod… Amazing piece that captured my attention and won a semifinalist position in a national poetry contest.
Thank you, Atul, for granting me the privilege of making this recording…

Given such luster,
From the very edge
To the inner core,
Bright zealous zest
To subtle softness,
Dichotomy pure.
Such floral
Beauties, accepted
In awe.
Why then
Do I, fight
My diversities galore?
Maker the same
From me to
My eden of flora.
Then let me too
Accept
My changing form
And turbulent times,
Staying true
As the flower to its
Fragrance, and I
To my inner Divine.
