Public places
now empty spaces
free of all familiar faces

But there is an upside
a turn of the tide
away from environmental suicide

Shifting towards clean
Mother Earth more serene
thriving more than I’ve ever seen
Inspired on a walk during the corona crisis

In our everyday life, we never waste a second to catch up with our “everyday” mundane ties
Then why do we forget the essential key, to cherish the bonds we thrive
These people are the wheels to our boxy routine
These people will be the one to leave any task for you in between

Spare a second, ease your shoulder and cherish every person and moment
You may not feel so thankful to be what you're, or believe in what you have until the end
But that's where we are mistaken because the true treasure is the people and not the bills
The one who cares for your well being, even when you are rolling downhill

That one person may be your guardian, who raised you with love
With whom you learned how to pedal a cycle and how to wear a cricket glove
Show them what they mean to you, let them know their worth
Show them the love you have for them, show them they're one in a billion on this earth

That one person can be your Significant Other, who has been there for beautiful years
To cheer you on your lows, To help you fight your fears
Let's not take them for granted, let's not leave them on their own
Let's appreciate their time and efforts, let's shower some love and ring their phone

That one person can be anyone, your liftman, your watchman or your grocery guy
Show them the gratitude they owe you to brighten your sky
Show them how valuable the human race is to the world kind
As time never stops for anyone, you never know if it's your last day on Cloud Nine

Free fall down into the unknown
give you my heart and relinquish my soul
it's best for what life shall bestow
so I take a big step in the unknown

Never look back, for this is the choice
don't question myself, and keep my mind poised
take a look up, thank god and rejoice
because the truth is, I know I made the right choice

So I follow the path and forget the past
this devotion and emotion, I'll make sure it lasts
with passion so wide and a love so vast
pain and sadness will be things of the past
Self love. That's it.

healing never stops, we just find new ways to do it.
life never 'gets easy', we learn to cope.
you learn to foster and create resilience within you.
maybe that's why I have always loved the lotus flower.
a flower that grows so beautifully from the deepest and thickest mud at the bottom of a pond.
a flower that faces many obstacles before reaching the surface and blooming to its fullest potential.
it blooms in the most unusual places and can withstand thousands of years without water;
it is self sufficient.
but you'd never know it, because all you see is the finished product.
you cannot recognize nor appreciate the strength it took to reach that point because the process is unknown by many.
we're all so scared to take that initial step to heal because we don't want to admit to ourselves it's time to make change.
start in the mud, rise to the surface, and enjoy the abundance of years you will have there.
change starts with acceptance.

Fine, you electrify heart of mine
Electrify our golden time
Can't look at those eyes
Without sparkling skies

Fine, don't gas me up with lies
Because it cuts me into size
We can fly together with multiple tries
And have sweet compromise

I'm fine, I know we'll rise
Even I can't look at those eyes
Because with your eyes I can vaporize
But with you I can suffice
Maybe I can survive
With your sweetest eyes
That makes me vaporize
It makes my heart pop likes dynamite

We're fine, we'll make it through time
Just like hikers and mountains we'll climb
Through ups and downs we'll be fine
Because there's a sign
That we'll shine
Just be mine.
I'm hoping we're gonna be okay. Inspired by jack stauber's song "buttercup"

We harvest the wind wherever it blows strong
and for all our efforts they end up in a song.
Together with the ocean's ebb and flow we make
a better world from the old without one to break.
-------------------
There is no more pollution in the air we breathe
the smogs of industrial waste no longer seethe.
Solar power is realised to be a non renewable resource
used only for the good of the world its original force.

All the rivers of the world that flow down from up high
have only water clean and fresh to drink of with a sigh.
And as they flow downwards with gravity's participation
are being utilised a lot more in hydroelectric generation.

The oil and coal once dug up from the bowels of the earth
are now things of the past no longer used to fuel a hearth.
Being too cumbersome and costly and very unsustainable
for the aspirations of those whose ideas are now attainable.

Peace and harmony with nature almost do reign supreme
there's hardly any natural disaster now that's unforeseen.
All the seasons of the year have realigned back in place
with rising temperatures and ocean levels curbed by grace.

Hydrogen fuelled vehicles of transport are commonplace
those polluting dinosaurs of machinery have lost the race.
Organic farming and produce is everywhere cultivated
into sustainable practices by education all are elevated.

Artificial intelligence and its technology does most of the work
there's hardly anything it hasn't been put to use for or can shirk.
Communication and surveillance systems are now at the stage
of knowing anything that goes on in the world or causes rage.

The weapons of mass destruction have all been disarmed
and their material used for construction and areas farmed.
Recycling of waste products is common in all the lands
nothing is ever just thrown away by any human hands.

Some interplanetary travel has been finally accomplished
the hope of finding life on other worlds thereby established.
New electromagnetic anti-gravitational power for propulsion
is now being used instead of the old nuclear fuel compulsion.

We all respect and help each other when we're in need
the watchwords are generosity and works of good deed.
Everyone is looked after by a universal health system
that's been built and provided which won't forsake them.

Capitalism and communism have both been discarded
humanitarianism is the new ideology highly regarded;
where each individual makes a positive contribution
and are rewarded well with their ongoing resolution.

Ignorance, the only real impediment to life, no longer rules
everyone's made aware of the value of knowledge in schools.
The Truth of existence as wisdom is replacing all falsehood
people everywhere are acknowledging their innate Godhood.

The religions of the world have all been unified into One
there are really no differences anymore to confuse some.
People of the world believe or worship in Love and Truth
that is Eternal, Infinite and Omnipresent since their youth.

Sitting outside and the birds are singing
The leaves are dancing in the wind
The sunlight is seeping in through the gaps in the leaves and casting speckled shadows along the pavement
And I know we’re all going to be okay

Light has a new meaning to us now
What did it mean before?
Think about that.
In these dark times all we have is light
And all we can do is let the light in

Light can be whatever you want it to be
But you have to accept it
Don’t let the darkness get to you
Whatever you do, don’t let the darkness get to you

I want you to embrace the light
Let the birds sing
Dance like the leaves dance
Feel the sunlight on your skin
And take comfort in knowing that every day brings forth new light

I decided to have fun.
That it was going to be a good night
No matter what the cost was
I stitched this vague and improbable idea into a battle flag
And charged into the tar pit riddled with energy of every variety

In doing so
I barged out of my mind
I charged the locked door located in front of my ear
And pryed the lock off with my bare hands

I didnt at first
At first I ran in circles
I ran into walls
I punched indestructible windows and mirrors until my knuckles bleed bone

But there's always new tactics being formed in life
New power and possibilities to explore and devour
And now that I've found the door
I can capture the world
And drag it back to my Temple
Kicking and screaming.

This world is way too much for us
Tried to run but keep on stumbling
Tried to talk but keep on mumbling
Do you ever felt that way?

Let ourselves bloom
Despite of all those gloom
Wear all of the smiles like my costume
And hide them on your locker room.

I'll be the paint to color your world
Even though we're curled ,
Relax, I won't hurt, drop those blades
Because I'm willing to give you my colored shades.

What are you waiting for?
Lets paint this world, the color you adore
I'll give you this rose don't drop it at the floor
I'll be at your back leading your war

Now the breeze got us feeling good
Cruising 'round the neighborhood
Living like a teenager would
And love you like my mother could.

Don't worry too much
I won't leave, I'll be in touch
And if ever you get tired I'll catch,
Give you some glue for us to not detach.
You deserve that colors we painted, do not let it fade we'll work it out.

Dont stop chasing your dreams
Until you got that power of your beam,
Do no forget those who got you through,
Always thank them for your success too.

It's like you walk on a storm
That'll challenge you until you got harmed,
But honey don't get too affected don't return,
Because all of the flowers bloomed and it's your turn.

It's okay to be late, just don't stop
Until you get to the top
Just stay at your lane there's too much
Temptation don't swap
I believe that after you get to the top it'll be nonstop.

There'll be demons that'll want you to stop
And if they made you flop
Don't listen to them, listen to me I'll call the cops,
And I'll help you to be in the top.

Remember, do not stop
The rewards will be nonstop
After you get to the top,
So after this I'll be happy and always I'll be at your back.
You'll be okay remember okay? You'll be on the top of your own world don't be sad now I believe in you.
