A random
act of kindness
can land
small as lint—
light enough
to cause a small tilt—
or heavy enough
to make
the world
go round.

I
don’t decide
which way
it falls—
only
if I do nothing.

So
I decided
to take the lint out
of my pockets.
I don’t know how to not be an actress.
I have no idea how to be real
What is it I really am any time feeling
And what is it that I truly want to do.
I need to tear down the theatre curtains
And stand without costumes on life’s stage

What can I use to take off the makeup
That turns me into who I am not
That covers up the scared little girl
Trying so hard to figure it out
Aching to know what the real villain is
And finding a way to subdue it.

Sensing the final act has begun
And my script is missing those pages,
I vainly search back stage for a prompter
Or someone who knows if I exit stage left
And what the script says is my final line
And if Curtain Call has now been cancelled.

All the world's a stage......
Listen to your soul
Remember your tears
Keep the words your heart speak

These will guide you
Towards that which you need

Believe
Believe
Believe
I cannot say a slithe in form
But a rapture to my ears
Once I categorized
all the songs
It brought me low to tears

But in the dark of
nocturnal dreams
I cried out in dispair
To hear the incessant
thrill of the mocking bird
made me pull my hair

Now the nights have been reclaimed
goodbye to the nights of all my pain
The mockingbird no longer thrills at 3 a.m.
It has met a tragic end

Steel my heart
with nimble skill,
and sharpen my mind
with a warrior's will.
Let my courage flow
through my ****** veins,
as storms will come,
but I'll break their reign.
My battle cry will shatter
foes at dawn,
and they will break,
but, I will never bend,
as I fight valiantly
until the end.

We celebrate freedom in words
In verse and in literary gaze
In languages unknown
Connecting through
Chords and notes
Musically bound

Across the globe
Gallivanting
Through time and space
Crossing boundaries

Colours of Holi
Unites us like a rainbow
One in spirit

Every shade illuminates
Under the big warm sun
Happy Holi 🍀🍀
