33/F/Seattle I like to write poetry in my free time :)
Where am I now? Is this future or past? Can someone show me how to make time go fast? Why can’t I be present in the present, serene? Why do I resent each moment that in the past and each moment unseen? Only in the present my mind will be safe, From anxious thoughts and worries that chafe. I’ll find my peace in moments so pure, only In the now, my heart will endure. In the present, I’ll breathe and let go, Of the shadows of past and future’s unknown. I’ll anchor my soul in the here and now, Finding solace in moments, I’ll make a vow. To cherish each second, to live and to see, The beauty in stillness, the calm within me. For only in the present, my mind will be free, From the chains of time, I’ll simply be.

The fleeting present
I feel close to Him, when I’m near Her, my soul takes flight. His presence lingers, a gentle hymn, as She whispers lullabies on the wind on a moonlit night. I feel on me His gaze in a hidden maze, through forest trees, I find my way. I see Him smile as Her dawn’s first rays, paints the sky in hues of gold each day. In Her garden, summer raindrops fall, His tender touch upon my soul. His presence lingers, a whispered call, as I dance with Her, feeling whole. Her evening rhythm, a gentle song, paints the sky with hues divine. His essence, sun’s first rays, strong, as petals sway in Her sacred shrine. One sunny day, it dawned on me, lost in Her charm, entranced by His ways. They both are one, one and the same, God is Nature, and Nature is God’s praise! So gaze upon the petals, the stars above, and know: in every leaf, in every sod, God’s essence breathes, a boundless love, where Nature’s pulse aligns with the divine nod!

HIM and HER
These days, no more snapshots I take, No tally of hours, no memories to make. Time slips through my grasp, a silent stream, And the wing-clipped bird will no longer dream. Acknowledgment fades, a ghostly refrain, To the world, to you, to my own domain. Resistance wanes, like grains of sand, I unclenched my fist, released the relentless hand. That’s how I fade away, Day by day….

I Fade away
I am tired of running I just want to rest; I ran as fast as I could, I tried my best. I don’t remember what I wanted anymore; I just ran and ran and ran till I reached the shore. I don’t know why I ever started that race; Now I just sit here alone leaving no trace. I want to gather some strength in my bones And get lost in the sea’s gentle tones Oh God! please bless me with your grace For there is a battle waiting for me which I will eventually have to face

Grace
It’s okay that no one cares about you; The trees, the mountains and the might sky blue to name a few; Are all strong souls that stand on their own; You have roots oh so deep and strength in your bones; Don’t forget your power just because the storm is raging You have the grit in you to go through the lows you are facing; For someday the storm will fade and sunlight will crack And new saplings will want your shade and the strength of your back

Hold on
Time is passing by But I refuse to change; My sails are too tattered now To withstand Poseidon’s rage; Part of me wants to let go And just go with the flow; But part of me wants to stay put And just win this game.

I
I am fed up of crying I am fed up of dying I am fed up of buying things to fill this void I am fed of of talking I am fed up of walking I am fed up of hoping wounds will heal with time I am fed up of waiting I am fed up of hating I am fed up of dating people who disappoint I want to be alone I want to be on my own I want to be free from you and myself

Fed up
Sometimes life is hard, unbearable even; but then again sometimes you need some dark hues to give your painting some dimension ;)

Sometimes
I can't have you, so I have things; filling up my house for the joy they never bring. I can't have you, so I eat; binging on food, until my thoughts stop to repeat. I can't have you, so I cry; trying to release your memory till my tears run dry. I can't have you my mind does know; But my heart is a child that won't take a no.
