I hold a cup of coffee
Tastes bitter sweet
A little piece of love
Feeling warmth
An aroma that fills the heart …
Now how do I put into other words
To explain a feeling I have never felt before….
Unsayable

Let It Be
I wish
I wish I could give you the fragrance of this flower ….
Waiting
Here’s me
Waiting passionately ….
Becoming a gentle rising tide towards eternity
Loving this wait, patiently
For the same kind of gentle tide like me …
It’s not always what it seems, I’m aware of it though
But when you say it, I believe that
I believe that you keep me safe in your soul so pure and
I admire you so much that I doubt not at all
I love to wait passionately for you.
The more I wait, the lesser become my doubts if any
Again I must know, it’s not always what it seems
So I must humble my manners and pray to the Glorious afar
That shines in all the time here and there too
I know this feeling is way down inside
So with much patience
I take my shower soulfully with a thought, ‘Why are you there? Why have you come from such distance with so much care?’
There’s no need to ask anything
I’ve listened carefully and learned
It’s you, bright and strong
I’m so glad I met you.
I see myself in between disaster and beauty
A spirit of love begin to stir
And a tune I’m humming that I love you
So tender, so true.
Meanwhile I accept the fact that it’s not always what it seems …
For a while the feeling may remain.
Let it be
Each morning as I rise
I continue my prayers endlessly
As here I’m
Waiting so passionately
For you
Dear Taj Mahal
.
I wore a serene smile.
I was barefoot for a while,
The woman within my tender age shivered
When Taj touched me, and I was so drawn to it.
Dear Taj, ‘Why do you make me smile such sweet smile?‘
In all its beauty and ecstasy,
I was so sure of one thing,
That I was destined for something,
Which I kept searching in silence here.
Dear Taj, ‘Have you not fallen in love with me yet?’ ❤️
I Long for This Bliss
I long for that bliss
Where sudden gentle breeze
Shimmers every leaf
And whispers through the sunshine:
“Be free my darling, be free,
And light up the spirit within …
So it’s alive!”
I picture this in my mind
Painting nature’s beauty into the timeless wonderland
Such emotions reign all my soul
And here, I m lost in the smell of
Sudden gentle breeze …
I so long for this bliss!
Feeling Humble
We feel so independent and humble when we depend only on Him.”
Therapeutic
Enlightened
The disciples asked, “What does one need in order to be Enlightened?”
The Master said, “You must discover what it is that falls in the water and does not make a ripple; moves through the trees and does not make a sound; enters the field and does not stir a single blade of grass.”
After weeks of fruitless pondering, the disciples said, “What is this thing?”
“Thing?” said the Master. “But it isn’t a thing at all.”
“So it is nothing?”
“You might say so.”
“Then how are we to search for it?”
“Did I tell you to search for it? It can be found but never searched for. Seek and you will miss.”
Divine Sunrise
My heart glows like a candle
To witness this divine sunrise.
Looks like a boundless majesty..
Feels like all the heavens lit.
And I smile and say to myself,
“How trivial is this life!”
“How divine a destiny ahead!”
Somewhere Over The Rainbow
Ready for any adventure
The adventurous soul as I am
Restless like sea,
Strong and content
And all the good fortune I bring
Along my path …..
Becoming Happier
Flowers always make people better, happier and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.
Luther Burbank
Just Bloom
If you tend to a flower, it will bloom, no matter how many weeds surround it.
Matshona Dhilwayo
Blooming
One day you will look back and see that all along, you were blooming

Astonished
Smell the Flower
A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, and a man cannot live without love.

Do it with passion or not at all … “
Travel
Try to travel, otherwise
you may become racist,
and you may end up believing
that your skin is the only one
to be right,
that your language
is the most romantic
and that you were the first
to be the first.
Travel,
because if you don’t travel then
your thoughts won’t be strengthened,
won’t get filled with ideas.
Your dreams will be born with fragile legs and then you end up believing in tv-shows, and in those who invent enemies
that fit perfectly with your nightmares
to make you live in terror.
Travel,
because travel teaches
to say good morning to everyone
regardless of which sun we come from.
Travel,
because travel teaches
to say goodnight to everyone
regardless of the darkness
that we carry inside.
Travel,
because traveling teaches to resist,
not to depend,
to accept others, not just for who they are
but also for what they can never be.
To know what we are capable of,
to feel part of a family
beyond borders,
beyond traditions and culture.
Traveling teaches us to be beyond.
Travel,
otherwise you end up believing
that you are made only for a panorama
and instead inside you
there are wonderful landscapes
still to visit.
