Green trees and birds chirping,
Waves lapping on the shore and on duty the busy bees...
All around me I see people smiling,
There is serenity and peace.

Where there is always one to lend a helping hand,
And humanity has not lost its way...
Love lies in every grain of sand,
It is a fairy tale as you might say...

Where people live with dignity,
And knowledge is power...
There is joy in the vicinity
And talent in the tallest tower...

For the beautiful future which I see,
Changes in the present have to be brought..
For our deeds, we have to pay..
There is a long battle yet to be fought...

This is the future which I see....
THE FUTURE WHICH I SEE...          
                                                                ­
This is the future which I see...

Butterflies dance, birds chirp
They can't help but glee!
Leaves smile, cones perk
Why shouldn't they?
Their long gone friend has returned!

The fountains become fresher
The leaves turn more green
The daisies twist with pleasure!
Why shouldn't they?
Their long gone friend has returned!

The days tend to be merry
The air is filled with
laughter of fairies
Why shouldn't it?
Their long gone friend has returned!

They paint the rainbow on the sky
They paste the cotton on clouds
The grass is green-dyed
Why shouldn't it?
Their long gone friend has returned!

The buttercups seems to bloom
The sunflowers seek their friend
The bliss, blissfully looms
Why shouldn't they?
Their long gone friend has returned

The swans become whiter
They dress like a bride
The quails are ready to coo
Why shouldn't they?
Their long gone friend has returned!

They delicately embellish the route
Their friend shall walk on
Spring is ready to be lauded
Why shouldn't it?
Its their long gone friend,
Which returned!

Wedged somewhere between the aughts
In the early morning hours
What is it you hear?
Scatting of a bird
Or the ticking of the clock
Down the hall

The sun filters in, golden
Through wooden slats
Bitter coffee waits to be made
Sweet with cream and
Drops of maple

Home is slow and silent now
In this residual world
Where you rise and work
Busy yourself with tasks
Waiting to pick up where
Life left off

Spring is still here,
Blooming and cool
Soothing to the nervous spirit
You can still step outdoors,
Breathe in jasmine and fresh air
Humming, meditating, on newness

For now you follow a different routine
Connect, find comfort in what is
Around with new appreciation
Embrace a slow morning
And an easy evening
Sunshine and small escapes
To our essential workers and healthcare heroes during this very strange time, I thank you.

Even in the dark;
the sun hidden beneath clouds
smog thick and heavy dousing the streets with gloom

still there’s singing;
in balconies couples dance
the laughter of children playing in the yard despite the weather-

How wonderful humankind can be
when we stand together against the odds.
We’re always stronger together than apart, at least I’ve learnt this much.)

My life's work is the wiggling leap
Of a soft little kitten, who lands in a heap.

My life's work is the hyper, swift lick
Of a rambunctious puppy who moves lightning quick.

My life's work is the smile of a friend,
Who I know will be with me till the bitter end.

My life's work is a high GPA;
Perseverance is how I got here today.

My life's work are these words that I write,
And the heartfelt confession, "you saved my life".

My life's work is nowhere near done.
I fell down, I got up, now I'm ready to run.
I volunteer at a place that helps people with mental issues (like National Suicide Hotline) and somebody told me that I saved their life. It really helped me pull myself back to a stabilized condition. Even though I still feel like **** and quarantine has been really hard, I'm pushing through it and appreciating the good that I do have

I once was scared
of feeling Emotions -
Thought they would scar me,
leaving only commotion;

But then Poetry filled me
with Joy running
beneath my skin,

And I realized nothing
could ever truly
break me within.

When Poetry came
and warmed me inside,
I was suddenly glad
I was still Alive.

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.
