A slice of love,
blanket of gloom,
swirl of ecstasy,
fusillade of anger,
echo of laughter,
whiff of freshness,
pain of heartbreak,
onus of responsibility,
pleasure of passion,
tinge of envy,
grace of maturity,
tussle of thoughts,
turmoil of decisions,
rut of the mundane,
voice of truth,
veil of deceit,
thrill of adrenaline,
silence of solitude.
As my quill dips into inks
from the palette of life,
emotion of thoughts,
beauty of words synthesize,
in perfect harmony,
poetry takes its first breath!
The life’s mirror reflects
a face matured with the grace
glowing to the mellow radiance of sunset.
Chapped lips smile, braving the many
harsh winters of life with courage.
Each wrinkle unfolds a story of grit and valor,
walking on the arduous thorny cobbled trails.
Today,
The eyes reflect benign complacency
watching the seeds then sown
sprout into lush verdants.
Towering boughs spread out
as deep roots embedded with values hold them strong.
The road I chose
didn’t bestow me much material prosperity,
but,
my soul amassed a wealth beyond measure
my sanguine heart brims with contentment,
I lived each moment, as a celebration of life!
Life’s roads, so unpredictable
a sudden brake, brings the car
to a screeching halt.
The meandering roads show
no sign of destination,
the path ahead looks eerily dark.
A glimmer of hope
peeps in through the obscure maze
tiny luminaries twinkle bright
an effulgent moonlight beams
its magical smile,
lights up the route,
for life to move on!
This poem depicts the current situation of our life. The minute virus brought life across the globe to a grinding halt. Man felt he was armored with invincibility, making forays with such advanced technology and sophisticated gadgets. It took an infinitesimal microbe to get man on his knees and make him utterly helpless.
I hope wisdom prevails and man uses his intellect to learn an invaluable lesson from this bitter experience.
While I always like to end things on a positive note, I would like to know your thoughts on this. Do you think we will mend our ways to a better tomorrow or will we tread back on the same path all over again?
The penultimate day of the Valentines Special series. Bringing this together truly gives me a sense of joy and accomplishment. Thanks to all my friends for being with me on this beautiful journey ❤ !
In Sanskrit the term guru connotes someone who is a guide, or a master in a certain field of knowledge. Like a guidepost, he inspires his disciples, dispels darkness of ignorance, guiding them towards light. He helps discover the immense potentiality within themselves. Today, it is increasingly referred as seers who carry the message of truth for humanity.
