• Dancing With the Universe

    Dancing With the Universe

    Life waits for us,
    A starry-clad wild dancer-
    Shall we refuse this call,
    Or shall we take its hold?
    Do we want to be
    A complaining gray mouse,
    Or would it make sense
    To join in on the heavenly dance
    Of floor,
    That is not resplendent like other stars?

    Those who dare tango with existence,
    Find themselves swept away
    Into a grand love affair,
    Where trust blossoms
    Like a supernova,
    That destroys all illusions of being,
    Separate entities from each other.

    Because every breath
    we breathe out,
    Is a message of love.
    While every single occasion
    Remembered
    Not in order only,
    But rather forever.

    On the mountains of today,
    Lie the possibilities
    Of tomorrow.
    For who knows where
    They may send us
    Into some unexplored part of being?
    As life who loves us passionately,
    Whirls us in and out of galaxies
    That are made up of holy moments,
    We are shown fresh constellations
    Of wonder in each revolution.

    Instead,
    This means to dance
    With the universe
    Is an acceptance of its music,
    Even if sometimes
    It becomes disharmonious
    To our ears.
    It means getting rid
    Of heavy armor
    Against all that we would.
    Instead,
    Embark into espousing
    Light gowns that
    Is acceptance.

    Within this cosmic ballet,
    We are student and creator,
    Learning steps undreamed before,
    Now interweaving patterns
    More delicate than we had imagined.

    And so,
    As the sun spins around through space,
    Take another spin around that star.
    Realize how much it is
    That we share with this life,
    For once there would be
    Nothing else
    But its pure essence
    When at last –
    Without any thought or effort at all –
    We become what we have
    Always been in our hearts:
    Simply dancing.

  • Just Wandering

    Just Wandering

    Have you ever felt
    As if you are standing
    In your own space
    With your hands open
    And every person you encounter
    Tattoos you,
    Writes on you
    With permanent ink
    Before moving on?

    The marks glow
    With a stained-glass-like luster;
    They form an intricately
    Beautiful pattern
    Made out of memories
    And accidental encounters.
    Some run very deep;
    Others just scratch the surface;
    Nevertheless each one
    Does stay
    In its own way
    However, faint it might be.

    Would you want to look at yourself?
    Can you see yourself beneath these marks?

    In the looking glass,
    There’s a kaleidoscope of reflections
    Looking back at me
    A live screen
    On which countless stories appear.
    But beneath all these;
    I feel a heartbeat pounding constantly,
    A central self-crying out
    For recognition…

    I feel as if I am losing myself
    Within these entwining paths
    A life’s true maze.
    Which scars deserve
    Our appreciation
    And which ones should be forgotten?
    It could be that this decision
    Symbolizes the very essence
    Of the soul.

    Just
    Wandering.

  • Be Gentle

    Be Gentle

    Be gentle with yourself.
    Life rolls in waves, reflections, refractions,
    Diffractions, and interferences.
    You are an expression, an image,
    A music and some lyrics.
    Imagination is that brush
    Of your pen and instrument.

    Still remember
    The most beautiful music
    Has moments of silence.
    Even the quiet times
    Are meant to be
    As valued as the high ones.
    Inside those gaps
    We create something new.

    Have patience for your own growth.
    Like a tree,
    You have your seasons of bloom
    There are times
    When you shed leaves
    And others when you stand still.
    Its roots go deeper than it is aware,
    And this life is anchored
    Even amidst the invisible storms.

    Embrace uncertainty.
    In the world of possibilities,
    Each move results in a new creation.
    Each fall brings forth another lesson.
    Each pivot imparts a fresh perspective.

    Live in harmony with others.
    Every different note
    Contributes into our big song,
    The one that sometimes leads
    And at other times lends support.
    In that community-wide
    Joint effort towards music,
    You must discover your own song,
    tempo or place.

    Paint outside the lines.
    Conventions are often just suggestions,
    Creative power is boundless.
    To make your life canvas whole
    Use all the colors of your soul on it.

  • Love and Hate

    Love and Hate

    The opposite of love
    is harm.
    Love gives
    life a meaning.
    Harm gives life
    the illusion of a meaning.

    Truth whispers,
    Conviction shouts.
    One nurtures the soul,
    the other depletes it.
    Authenticity blooms slowly,
    deception wilts fast.

    Kindness ripples,
    cruelty destroys.
    One throws bridges
    over rivers,
    The other makes them
    torches.
    Through empathy hearts
    come together
    by indifference
    They move apart.

    Change is accepted
    by growth,
    while stagnation
    fights it.
    One unlocks
    better opportunities,
    while it locks
    all options.
    Curiosity
    broadens horizons;
    Ignorance
    abridges them.

    Forgiveness
    gives freedom;
    Resentment
    enslaves.
    One can heal scars
    while another widens them.
    Compassion enlightens
    but apathy darkens.

    In this theater,
    we direct
    our own paths.
    Every move
    is a stroke
    towards life.
    Love encourages
    various colors
    while harm
    uses a single dark hue.

  • My Shirt

    My Shirt

    I wear my shirt and carry on.
    As I do what I do,
    I cease to remember
    The sensation.

    Fabric fades from thought,
    Color dims in memory’s eye.
    If my life were day and night,
    My shirt, the love nearby.

    Life bends and unfurls grace .
    Where this core of feeling holds, the eyes fall .
    It is a moment of curve and dip .
    Further than the veil I see.

    I see beyond evil,
    And I know myself again
    Through my shirt,
    My love revealed anew
    As awareness raises a flag

    I see my shirt,
    I feel my love,
    In this bow of recognition,
    Below, above.

  • I Visit

    I Visit

    I visit
    A domain within me;
    Just mind,
    No walls or doors.
    Painted by time and
    Emotion are landscapes of memory.

    I visit,
    I visit always,
    Every reason but none in particular.
    Sometimes I go to cry.
    Tears on fields of regret fall
    Watering seeds of ‘what-ifs’
    that never seem to bloom,‌
    But always present to visit

    I visit.
    A roundabout of the mind
    I turn and turn around
    Different horses but the same journey
    I start and finish in the same place

    I visit.
    Sometimes I visit stars
    Of missed chances to make my wishes
    Sometimes I visit to thank
    Ghosts of days gone by

    I visit.
    This familiar cage,
    Which will never let me go.
    I carry this place around
    Even there on bright days are its shadows.

    I visit
    Here as a captain and crewman,
    Difficult journey through stormy thoughts,
    However much I try to find a way back home
    But am caught up by drifting currents.

    I visit
    When I’m lost
    In the maze of the present tense.
    Sometimes I visit
    Hoping yesterday will soon
    Become today.

    Repeating the same thing
    But expecting different outcomes
    It is a memory of visiting
    I often do.

    I visit.
    I always visit.
    For in visiting, I am,
    Both lost and found again.

  • Tranquility

    Tranquility

    For each of us,
    His own song,
    And own creative music.
    For each of us,
    A healing frequency.
    This is tranquility.

    In the silence between notes,
    We find our rhythm true.
    Each heartbeat a cadence,
    Each breath a gentle refrain.
    Our melody unfolds,
    Unique as morning dew.

    This harmony we seek,
    Is found within our chord.
    A personal symphony,
    That opens every door.
    To peace and understanding,
    Forevermore.

  • Today’s Greetings

    Today’s Greetings

    With open hearts,
    I greet the welcome words of today.

    In each face sincerity and genuineness,
    In each heart trust and confidence,
    In each word truth and love,
    In each act of kindness and gift,
    In every message and word of today’s greetings.

    The warmth of every smile
    Is like a morning sun
    Lighting up humanity’s common path.
    An understanding slight nod head
    Expression of love at first sight
    That had gone through hardships
    A gentle voice devoid of judgment

    Strength of a handshake during today’s greetings
    Comfort of an embrace as part of today’s greetings
    Tomorrow’s hope lights up my smile

    With arms wide open
    I welcome today’s greetings

  • My Voice

    My Voice

    Find your voice,
    They say.
    I have found my voice.

    They say pretend,
    Misunderstanding,
    Paper cuts on my soul.
    They sting, they bleed.
    This is not fine.

    My voice to you is
    Described as a whisper of a ghost.
    However, to me
    It is like thunder in my mind .

    When told to speak out loud by you,
    There are words that
    I must take from the deepest part of me,
    With every syllable
    Struggling against my throat
    And clawing to be let out.

    On the other hand,
    What you hear seems dry.
    But for me, it feels
    Like fresh wounds.

    But if I have to
    Call out to someone
    In the next room,
    I find myself falling into myself,
    And my voice coming out
    As though it emerged from the dawn of time.
    It leaves me panting, empty,

    Sometimes it sounds
    Like I’m yelling
    A cry in your ears;
    While for me this is an earthquake
    That breaks my soul.
    The effort leaves me gasping, drained.

    Peace is a soft shawl
    Within silence.
    At last,
    My mind breathes.

    In stillness,
    And in mute moments,
    I am complete.
