Poem 12 , Day 12

Title – Dreams, the tinsel of our mind
We have many dreams
they are the tinsel of our mind,
place them in a shelf of our thoughts,
chisel them like a sculptor,
they will ignite the fire within us,
they will cast a spell on us,
the magic which seemed out of reach
will weave an exquisite tapestry of work,
of course, there will be difficulties,
which will test our faculties,
there will be some casualties,
but the patience of ordinary things
will be our savior,
we will find a bright light of success
in the secluded corners of our hearts.

day 13 poem 13

Title – A tall tale of a simple man
There once lived a man
who was a symbol of simplicity.
From dawn to dusk, he slogged
like an ant and didn’t depend on any grant.

Unfortunately, he was never rewarded,
his sharp intellect and diligence felt cheated.
He was a good team player, yet he never slayed success.

Someone else hogged the limelight.
His situation was full of painful plight.

Lying low in a debris of pitiful detritus,
he didn’t know how to solve the calculus
of his life.

He was travelling by road,
it was spookily dark,
he found shelter in a barn,
he slept in the company of farm animals.

When he awoke, he didn’t feel broken,
he carried with him the happy hay of the farms,
the happy hay was magical,
he smiled and looked radiant,
his shoes carried fairy dust.

Good luck followed him,
he never felt dim,
the man received regular promotions,
he also failed occasionally,
but that happened rarely.

He was the glamorous guy of the corporate world,
he was now an invincible Chief Executive officer,
he was the unofficial stirrer of news with many admirers.

Title – Dreams ~ portals of possibilities

day 14
Dreams are portals of possibilities,
they tap into our subconscious,
dreams improve the co-ordination
of our head and heart,
the head and heart work like a team,
this makes the person beam,
this makes the person win
in the most misty challenges and changes.
Dreams lead to setting of goals and fulfilment,
dreams are confluences where creativity meets plans of activity.
Let the rivers of dreams flow forever.

Fernweh Day 11, #napowrimo

Title – Fernweh
Dear family,
Let’s grab a camera and pack our bags,
You and I will relish the rhapsody of nature,
Let’s visit the valley of flowers,
I am eager to witness the vibrance of nature,
I wish to inhale the intoxicating fragrance of roses,
There is a feeling of Fernweh within me,
I long to travel near and afar,
I crave to taste the cuisines of le monde,
I desire to enjoy a picnic near the pond,
Away from the iPad and the iPod,
I want to watch the growing pea pod,
I wish to watch the rainbows and the snowfall,
I wish to relax under the kind shades of trees,
I wish to float like a boat and be carefree,
at least for few days, if not forever….
dear family, let’s go.

The karmic board and Like a saba, you appeared in life – day 9 & day 10 #napowrimo

The Karmic board

Title – The karmic board
The sun shines with a powerful intensity,
the karmic board sparkles,
the snakes and ladders display their strength,
the snakes pulverize patience,
the snakes create feelings of “we should not have come face to face”,
the ladders levitate emergence,
the karma rises like yeast without any hesitation
in spite of snaky downfalls,
the grit is golden,
the future is not shaky.

Title – Like a saba, you appeared in life

Like a saba, you appeared in life,
you pulled the strings of my heart,
your stories stored wisdom of many eras,
they made me think about life and it’s purpose,
I discovered myself anew,
you also prospered and felt joyous.

One fine summer day, you disappeared,
I searched for you everywhere,
even in the most scorching places,
you were not there anywhere,
Were you the truth or an illusion?
Were you an illusionary truth or a truthful illusion?
Well, I have no answers,
but no regrets,
I have a stock of golden memories,
they will never lose their sheen,
after all, memories are haseen.

Philanthropy in daily lives

Day 8 #napowrimo

Title – Philanthropy in daily lives
broken glass was on the floor
the cat was near the door
the cat was partially blind
the girl rushed to the door
the cat was saved,
the girl smiled
although she was in pain.

In a world of self centered ambition,
spending time and resources
for the betterment of animals
is nobility and humanity.
The persons who serve the animals
may not always get any trophy,
but they have already earned
excellence in philanthropy.

A strange land

Day 7 of #napowrimo
Title – A strange land
In the back of beyond, a strange land exists,
where there are lamps with fluorescent everlasting light.

In this peculiar place, the streams flow incessantly,
they sparkle like glorious golden particles.

the trees will not disappoint at all,
they grow taller and taller, higher and higher
NONSTOP .

In this world of abundance, there is a surprise,
the people work for one day and then forget what happened the next day.

Every day is a new serial,
the feeling of working with a new script
is nothing short of fantasy.

Efforts amidst adversity

Day 6 #napowrimo
Waterless stretches of land
deprived of greenery
stands with a lonesome heart
who can clip paucity?

The sun shines right from the start
gradually, the sun kindles courage,
the saturn works overtime,
soon luck smiles
the venus shines and rises,
it comforts and promises
prosperity with sincerity .

Clouds, dreams and home #napowrimo day 5

When the sky is grey,
the clouds crowd the arena,
the vista is a visual treat,
The sky arches enormously
the earth looks enigmatically.
a tiny dot is our home
in the grand universe
where we chalk our verses
where we resist adverses,
where we rest and plan with an elan,
in a celestial extravaganza,
stars align and invite us
to dive into the cold waters
of the stream of consciousness
they collect pieces of our dreams
dreams which were forgotten
in the daily hustle,
these dreams rustle like leaves
in our eventful lives,
who complains as we enjoy the jive.
Our dreams have found a home.

Surreal wishes of a tired mind

Day 4 #napowrimo #glopowrimo
The castle is high,
I wish I could fly
like the worst witch
on a broomstick
I wish I could light a wick
and erase darkness
which gulps the lobby
of a sad mind,
I wish I could break the spell
of bad luck, stop the death of dreams
and fill the mind
with loads of magical positivity
and enjoy vacation again like eternity!

When cat supports Ikigai

day 3 #napowrimo #glopowrimo
Title – When cat supports Ikigai
In the cacophony of sounds, nightmares hound,
they refuse to fade with the sun abound,
in the vortex of problems, pessimism astounds,
the ikigai inches towards hopefulness,
a breath of fresh air sends positive vibes,
a charismatic scribe unearths a tribe,
a tribe which never felt the need to pitch,
out of the blue, a furry friend appears,
the cat lives in the moment,
every cuddle ends the torment,
the paw wonder does not lament,
it supports humans to live for a reason,
to find a passion and mission,
to never retire and earn revenue,
to find avenues for talent,
Ikigai inches towards achievement.

The sage fairytales

#napowrimo day 2

Title – The sage fairytales

In a land of stories, there is a message, 

the stories inspire us to be sage, 

in every page, there is a challenge, 

in every fairytale, there is a twist, 

scoring an ace sooner or later matters. 

Life is about transformation, 

life is about change and renewal of hope, 

if Mulan had not shown courage, 

if Rapunzel would have given up, at any stage, victory would have been far from reality, 

life would have desiccated in naivety.
