Apple and The Lake
The apple looks down from the treetop
Marvels at the beauty of the lake which flows beside its home, the apple tree.

‘Oh how wonderful it must be to take a dip in the pristine lake and come out sparkling clean’

The lake charmed by the red delicious  apple, wondered

‘How blessed the humans must be to eat and cherish every bite of the juicy apple, sweet!’

Thoughts of the pristine lake and the apple sweet
Unheard by the deer, prancing under the tree
Star BG : Apr 2
Looked at your picture and out this came. :)

Two apples sat on window cil. Both taking in the beautiful scenery. Both using their scent to attract nostril canals to wet an appetite. Both reminding of the concept to share and take in the scenery.

Lessons
Insecurities and Contradictions
Fears and conflicts
Have they , a single solution!!
Managed a hop skip jump
Many a times in life
But some experiences in life
Bound to have had
Bitter it may be as the pill
But  cure it has none
Until undergone
Live as it comes
Learn as it teaches

Overwhelmed
Sleepless, the day sighs

Night dreams of sleep

Open eyed
Had a lovely busy day today, just had to set these words free ;)

Journey of light
Blue and green
Side by side
glittered in the dark
Achromatic leaves on the trees
Golden yellows
Glowed in the back
Festive lights glow through the night
Colours never fail
In their journey of spreading light
Inspired by the decorations on the streets

I want to break free
I want to break free
Free from my thoughts
I seek the words
No, they all go unheard
I want to break free
Oh!! How I want to break free

I have tried too many times
The thoughts and the words both zoned out, they can’t keep time
God knows,
Knows that
I want to break free

It is strange but it’s true, HP
I have changed settings ( hide explicit to show) and can read many works, maybe all
God knows,
Knows that it’s true , HP
Irrespective of the content,
I can read , many and maybe all
I want to break free
Oh!! How I want to break free, HP

I want to be sure,
When I walk out that door
I want the thoughts and words to abide
I can’t think of living without, living without
Thoughts and words by my side ....
God knows
Knows that I want to break free
Partly~ largely, most  certainly inspired by
Queen - I want to break free .

Coastal land

Orange huts
Fresh coat of paint
The colour that held the conical shaped
wooden frames
Lined by coconut and palms
The coastal land
Rainforest canopy
Tropical island
The bricks in white
Struck slant in the ground
Forming rows
On the pathway
At leisure rode
The valiant horse
Late evening when the tides came in
The sea swelled with the golden moon
Inspired by a photo

The Quest
The Cremains
Shall find
A Resting Place
In
The Tranquil Godavari

Marking The End

The Mortal

Until Then
In
Peace
I shall find
Home

What’s Lost
Time lost
Never regained
Thoughts lost
The essence
No words can retain

Health is wealth
Powerless bench
No reason to rhyme

Time will seal all, with a word called heal

Nature
The sunbeams held the trees in a big embrace
The little plants and shrubs held hands
And smiled with grace
The sun set its focus on the mountains and the valleys
The river water flows through the rock crevices, a spray of mist, made a rainbow in sunshine
The clouds float over the mountains, one silken veil of white
The Sunlit valley, the tall mountains and the beautiful landscape, the rains keep them all spotlessly green
Inspired by ‘Chalay Thay Saath’ a movie I watched on Netflix

Time to Cerebrate
Too distracted to write
Or it can be called busy, right
Wish that was true too
Busy can be in the mind
On an overthinking overdrive

Losing the thoughts
Which are best kept
Wrapped in warm words
To be used for better days

Losing good thoughts
Is like losing a place
Where warmth is always safe
Losing many these days

Do words care
Do they know
What missing is like
Cause I miss words

Isn’t the written word
All that and more
The feeling
That fulfils
The writer within
Time to cerebrate
Yes
To celebrate
Wow this went public in one go
Thank you hello poetry

All suited up
Not stepping out of the house

What matters…
It was the road
Not the walk initially
Then it was the walk
And then the question
That arose
Is it worthwhile ??
It stayed for a while
And then it froze
The doubt
That was
Not worthwhile
Every walk may not lead
You to a rose
And every road
May not lead
To a destination
As planned
The journey matters
So do the learnings
The experience of
A different chapter
On a different note
I recently took up education after a gap of 24 years and was successfully able to finish a 1 year post graduate diploma course in psychology and nurture of giftedness

The Dew
The life of the dew

In the morning

On the flowers, beautiful it looks

To the human eye

To condense and collect

To drop as a dewdrop

To holdback, it knows not

On this earth, it lets go

In the morning hours upon the grass

As there is sunlight up the sky

Beautiful, the life of a dewdrop

Sunsets

Sunsets are dreamy
Sunsets are rosy
Mellow, a touch of gold

Sunsets remind me of the beaches
A place and time, I long to revisit
Where memories, ebb and flow

Sunsets remind me of childhood days
Long and short, the shadows played
As the sun rolled along

The Wildebeest
Mixed group migrations

Zebras  Antelopes and Wildebeest
      Sprinting
Across the breathtaking Savannahs.

Survival Instincts....

'A new life
to learn survival skills .....
Everything on the go.

A new born calf learns to sprint within 7 minutes of being born.

Window period ...
testified by the predators.

A couple of days in life
Good to give competition to the
Adults in the herd .

"Anew , Life's Lesson Learned "
Had been watching a program  on Nat Geo , along with  the kids , a few days back.
The animal kingdom has so much to offer , to learn life skills , while  on the go.
The wildebeest and other animals of the same kind , are constantly on the go across the savannahs for survival.
It saddened Intrigued and amazed me , to watch ,how the wildebeest' s calf  has to learn survival skills in a span of few minutes of being born .

For the mother - The joy of birthing, The fear of losing !!

Gifts
Tears you shed
For the lack of gifts
Wishing for one and some-more
Stuck in the greed of forever more

Life it is
You have been tricked
It bestows upon you
The choicest of all
And watches from afar

The gifts you owned
And the greed for more
Bringing in a abundance
Of evermore

Sky high
The inventory you see
What do you do
How do you stack
The cloud is full

Stuck in the forevermore
Be free and learn to shape shift
There is wisdom in those gifts
May you gain and secure

No wings
Attached to strings
In the sky
Blue or colourless
The colourful kite
Learns to fly

Sappy Happy
Sometimes sappy
Mostly happy

Together
Apart

The sappy tries
Happy has its own time

Give them their space
Know yours well
The boundaries and fences
Keep them flexibly strong
Thank you all at Hp
For reading my work here
For all the support
Sorry to have not replied to the last few  of my  posts here
Will surely do it soon
Hope,  you all are doing well 🙏

       Open your heart to some others

                  - Bypass or stent

Assimilate
Many times
Running away from one’s own thoughts, feelings, emotions
To a quiet  
Neither seeking solitude, nor pacifying the turmoil
To assimilate
The flow
In the times of quiet

Ocean view

Thatched roof gazebo, ocean air
The plastic of the chair
Tanned, beige to a tad bit brown
The sunning shows wear, but no tear

The view of the sea
From the highway
Foaming, white lather cream
A dreamer’s dream, within

The canoe, rightly placed
The blue of it juxtaposed
To the green of sea and the trees
A journey to begin

Old and naive me

Soon to be a memory

Rebel to relive

Sensitive to words

Unfashionable

Uninhibited words free

To themselves stand true

Brimming joy in heart

Ageing youthfully living

A Woman
A woman has it all
A woman who believes
In her own strength

She can build
And break if she wants
The false
And truths
In her castle so strong

A flower in the wild
No vase can contain
A flower so tame
Beautifies every vase

Moments can break her
Archiving some
She knows to make moments
To enliven her

Giving wings to her thoughts
Voicing the same
Stringing them in a garland
Of compassion for all

A woman has it all
A woman who believes
In her own strength
To every woman, happy women’s day:)

Truth or dare

At home ground
Broken into two

To Live or die

Beads and crystals

An inspiration
Is a source
A memory
Moments from the past
Remembered today
A moment happens
Every moment to pass
Beads and crystals
As one can collect
Beading into time
The inspiration
Of present
A rare
Ornamental piece
Way forward
Into the future
The chain links
The past becomes a part of the present
Beads and crystals
Forever

Misty memories
Misty waterfalls
And mud trails
Mountains covered in green
Like the meadows
As you climb up the top
You savour corn on the cob
Roasted on charcoal
A zing of lemon, butter and herbs
While taking in the view of the valley down
Moments to minutes, gentle hours
Memories in old photographs

Rain’s on a day’s break
Rain’s on a day’s break
Clear blue sky, sun and shade
Warm sunlight shines through the curtains  sheer blue
Last night’s rain bathed the baby leaves, now gurgle with glee, atop the trees
The pigeons tap dance on the window ledge to the soft sighs of the breeze
It's beautiful when the rain’s on a day’s break

The Story
What is it to read and not understand

What is it to be related
and
yet not understood

What is to understand
As narrated
And not misinterpreted

That's pure bliss

Life
What is it to understand
Yet not able to take a
stand
That's the story of Life
Not Interpreted
As Narrated

The grasshoppers and the worms
Birds of a feather
Predators and the preys
And
The dawn chorus
Everyone prays
When the sun starts to rise
Life thrives

Baby waves
Baby waves
Pretty
Holding hands with every molecule of their little hearts
Bubbling, gushing towards the shore
Mighty mama waves roar
Rush, with a lightning speed
And tuck in safe, the baby waves
Before they break onto the shore
Gurgling receding, pleading
Mama no Mama no
Mama let me go
No baby no
No, not yet
Alone
To the shore

Ribbons of rains
Ribbons of rains
A translucent sheet
Papery streamers
Down the streets

Children dream
Of castles and moats
To sail their
white paper boats

Yesterday’s flowers
Colour the pathway
For every passerby
As they take a final bow
It’s raining here :)

Silver wings

Silver wings, magical bird
No flapping around
High fives the clouds
Nautical miles it scales
Many aboard, feel safe
In the bluest of blue skies, it peaks
Amongst the fluffy clouds
Freedom it seeks
Nose dives like a song
Silver wings, magical bird
Lands safe

Smiles feeble in the dark sky
Yet radiates from within
The light it holds dear

The Sun

Should the sun ever express
How it feels to give its light to every being
How it loves to see, the children in parks
With sparkling eyes
The river and the sea, with a golden sheen
The motes that freely float in every beam
Does the sun beams a knowing smile and feels alive
When it sees and feels the new leaves
Gaining strength and growing big
Under its warmth and care
Should it ever say and quietly express
How happy it feels every day
To rise and be awake
And give hope to every being
And the tiny leaves
Gaining strength, growing tall
The trees softly speak
As the lush leaves shimmer and shine
Giving shelter and home to the birds and the bees
The sun knows its worth
And knows what it is to rise and shine
And give hope to every being

Village Scene

Smoke billowing from the bonfire
Velvet yellow blanket, fields of marigolds
The villages have an old world charm
Vast greens and farmlands
Thatched roof houses
The cattle in the shed, sounds of rustic trucks
The tractor on the farm
Farmers in uniforms, toil and till their land
Fresh and pure the air to breathe
Happy
Shades of green, in their eyes gleam
