Ripples of thoughts

  

 Goa, 2020

 Thoughts create stories in the mind, 

Ripples form, one of its kind.

Unmatched words and acts for momentary gains,

Heart knows to endure and heal pain.

Pain made her stronger,

Stronger since she opened her eyes,

Eyes reflected  her soul,

Soul never believed in lies white.

Quality of thoughts govern the life,

Raising vibrations in moments of strife,

Change of perception helps when stuck in time

Reality might differ, freely we rhyme.

Rhyme and rhythm flows in heart.

Heartfelt words touch the core,

Core of being is serene and calm.

Calm is the feeling that picks us up.

.

Hearts hold the secrets deep,

 With faith we grow and take a leap,

The shining core, frame the solutions,

 Practical spirituality dissolves whimsical notions.
