Still life- a teacher

"Keep me reasonably sweet; I do not want to be a saint- some of them are so hard to live with- but a sour old person is the crowning work of the devil. Give me the ability to see good things in unexpected places, and talents in unexpected people. And give me Lord the grace to tell them so."~17th century nun's prayer

This is the 17th century nun's prayer that I found on the wall of my favourite place, St. John of God Convent where we went today to meet our friends Sr. Soraya and Sr. Fatima. Sr. Fatima told me that I had missed an exhibition that happened last month in which they exhibited their entire lives through charts and now they have dismantled it and sent it to Daman. She was excited while telling about the way their stall kept them busy and how they had made a tree with leaves of thoughts on them, like "God Loves You.", and asked people to pluck one. Interesting! They always find a way to spread happiness! :)

Looking back. #Day 31

                                                                                                                                                         2014 image, Goa

 

 

Crossing the hurdles

of hesitation and fears,

Baring my soul,

learning constantly

Watching the fumes rise

from the haunting shadows

in the light of dark

Strange feelings

emerge from

the vast sea of consciousness

and dissolve in the written words.

I surprise myself

yet again!

Is it the end?

Or a new beginning?

They ask me

what does joy mean to me,

I say

it’s his presence

That fills me with love.

They ask me

what does love mean to me

I say its his essence

that I feel.                                  

Intangible.

They ask me

what do I treasure most

I tell them

It’s our story

Of finding bliss.

They ask me

what is bliss

I believe

The moments in which we create

Memories-

ageless, timeless,

Concealed, revealed,

I tell them honestly,

It’s all about loving unconditionally.

Re-awaken #Day 28

When mind is exhausted

strength lacks

Sleep abandons

 ..hearts starve

In absence of

 harmonious thoughts

Inspiration

becomes the need of an hour

to re-awaken the

senses.

Insatiable hunger

for a little sunshine

could be met with a drop

of love.

~~payal~~

 

 

breathe

Far from their
wonderland a relationship
flourished , that consisted
of the layers of dramatic influences in

an unknown land while discussing
the soulful stories of their journey.What if
they met again on the rainbow bridge? It
might choke them with a few tears. Breathe! it existed.

silver lining

                                                                                                                            2011 image

When I sit silently and your thoughts connect with mine,
I walk on the silver linings and try to reach cloud nine.

 A thoughtful presence in my mind gleam and glow

I believe in it,but why? I just don’t know.

My world is full of dreams as I walk on air,

Life becomes pleasant with amends and repair.

.....................I believe in the folklore of mistletoe.

It did happen again,not so long ago,
When life had stopped, and I had to let it go,
It was tough to be strong and take loving care,
gleam and glow.... 

 When in distress and there is nowhere to go, 

At crossroads,we give up,or go with the flow. 

I believe in goodness, and power of prayer,

    That  always keep us blessed in HIS loving care.

 ...............I believe in Lord,and miracles he show.

 gleam and glow....

Day 6 # Write Tribe 
P.S. Couldn't think of anything else today,for I had lots to say.. so posted these 13 words on Friday the 13th.The prompt for today was People.

Had I looked back..

"Had I looked back,long enough,they would have taught me."

With an intent to learn,he met them.

Love: I accept you as you are. In my light you will never fail. I won’t let you fall. 
              

Fear: I hurt you and you burn! Beware! I’m powerful, I can control! I hide in places you love the most.  

Courage :I help you to face the darkness and overcome it. With me nothing is impossible.

Faith: I bring hope to life and peace to soul. Walk by me, God will help you! 

He knew,"Men don't cry", but he cried.

In the quiet..

                                                                                  2013 image,Goa

Trusting my instincts
about everything
beyond myths and realities
fears of vulnerability and
the shadowed perceptions.

...about everything
beyond judgements,
the unsaid and unheard
the beginnings and endings.

...about everything
beyond the scarlet fumes,
the cloaks and masks.
the unanswered prayers.

Beneath the luminosity of stars
The veiled desires surrender
to the careless whispers
and dreams of eternity..
~~payal~~
 

Holding on..

                                                                                                          2013 image,Goa

Where everything is uncertain,in the changing world today

There are thousand reasons to let go and simply turn away

Perplexed language of bygone phase turn winters yellow pale,

From deep within rises a plethoric emotional tale.

Ignorance added to doses of irrationality

Indifference made preferences become formality

Tightly wrapped with the burden of short-lived congeniality

Shedding silent tears as “all is illusion” is what they say

Holding on to goodness and letting go of shadowy trail

I walk having faith in illusionary reality.

Thinking of you

image 2013,Goa

I remember the day

When you came in my life

And made me realize

My worth in the moment.

I hold you so close to my heart

Oh dear ,tell me how to part

 Today I see you lying
Secure in my treasure
So dead yet so alive
As some memories
that stopped my time.

Allow me,

To make some efforts

And bring you back to life..

 Thinking of you

I breathe..

You are a gift

You are a blessing

You are special..

It’s just a matter of time..

My dear watch!

~~payal~~
