Sing along..

Challenge yourself, when things go wrong.
Self-doubts vanish, when love is strong,
Follow your heart, and peace you'll find
Silence the critics, life is kind, beautiful song.

Butterflies,  bees,  and dragonflies

When flutters around in front of eyes

On the wild grass, on purple flowers, 

Feelings get caught in rain showers, as fleeting sighs!

Life keeps moving at finest pace. 

When words of wisdom spring with grace.

Inner voice speaks with all its might.

How beautiful this world seems, light in his embrace.

This is my Day 3 post for OctPoWriMo 2018.

Notes

In musical notes,
Quietly, our hearts exchange,
Love-filled promises.
Felt and scribbled in a breath,
Notes on rain and petrichor.

It's  Day 2 of #OctPoWriMo.
#tanka for the day.

Surrender

When unnecessary thoughts tresspass
my peaceful heart and mind,
I am reminded, to calm down
Surrender in the moment
Keep walking, and
leave the anxiety behind.

Peaceful thoughts
emerge, and make their
way to the shore.
Soaked in the eternal spring,
of love that flows within,
hope knocks at the door.

When in today's world,
a little more
of everything
takes its toll,
and hours turn into days,
Just then, my heart courageously,
surrender to time,
allowing me to just be
in the moment, and love myself
a little more,
in many more ways.

When mind goes astray,
and life gets out of control,
Seeking wisdom from nature,
I watch the petals unfold.
In Gratitude, I stay,
blessed I feel,
Faith helps to heal.

I'm participating in OctPoWriMo 2018 and this is my poem for day1. #freeverse

Last time I cried..

A few days ago, I cried,

For no reason at all,

Still trying to decipher

the reason behind

tears that welled up

in my eyes.

I cry,

When I am happy,

When I am sad,

Even when I pray.

It’s the connection

that I feel with

all my heart.

Every teardrop is precious

For it contains thousand memories

Of blessings given and received

while staying in gratitude.

I am sure

you might have cried too

For no reason at all,

At some point in your life

As I believe,

somewhere deep in our hearts

 we are all but the same.

A few days ago,

when I cried,

For no reason at all,

Yet again,

He kissed my tears away.
