Surrounded by love
On the bed of green
Scarlets and white
Different, yet alike
Tulips and sunshine
Peacefully arise
Nature is serene, alive

i want to make the good things last,
or failing that, good memories,
those moments when the veil is torn,
and sorrow is a secret prayer
You know if I don't like to be with someone,
Then I just don't like to be,
But it doesn't mean they're unlikable,
It's just that a cup of masala chai,
And a dessert doesn't go well together,


The same goes for me, when someone
Don't like me,
It's not my fault either.
Today is the Yesterday
Yesterday is the other day before tomorrow
The other day is tomorrow
Tomorrow is the yesterday of today
Today is for tomorrow not yesterday
To live is more than breathing
  It is more than movement
    or gesture
To live is more than routine
  It is more than setting goals
    or placing limits
To live is more than simple reasoning
  It is more than can be quickly understood
    or accomplished
To really live is a rare effort
  It must be carefully encountered
    and wisely negotiated
To really live is to act
  It is taking and giving
    accepting and sacrificing
To live is joy and pain
  To live is to do more than just exist
    To live is to stand up and actually
                                                          LIVE
"More Than Breathing" is inspired by the Oscar Wilde quote, "To live is the rarest thing in the world - most people just exist."
When the Sun's baby rays kissed the sad flowers, it brightened their spirits, and they joyfully filled the air around them with fragrance once again.

could have been,
should have been,
would have been
if only I had tended the seed (with love)

you are a jungle, a sequoia tree, the rain in a drought.
grass withers and flowers fade, but i promise we'll stand forever.
