May Karma Reward You!

So now you have suddenly become a champion & so tall!

Why and how did this happen? You'll never reveal!

You've started showing off; that's your smart call!

Hiding mistakes & ignorance; appropriating is your skill!

Be The Force

It is a new day, time to write a new chapter.

What is gone is gone; no point in running after.

I just want to share this and let you know-

You are never too old to do the new & grow.

The Shore Swan

They had known her worth & extracted their pound of flesh,

Her knowledge, skills, ideas, even the design of her dress!

They said she's no good, after they stole & their work was done!

Instead of rewarding/mentioning/acknowledging her contribution!

How Can I Bloom With You?

 They asked why I didn't bloom?

They wanted success to zoom!

 

They never realized the gloom,

Facilitated by them spreading doom.

 

Irresponsible acts & personas still loom,

For growth focus, there is no room.

 

They invested hours to groom!

Still, wonder about no bloom.

Do you know toxic people? How can you bloom when they wreck havoc and spell doom?

The Know-All Expert

You are The Golden Child with bling?

You feel you're the only one- the saviour?

The only one who can heal & cure?

You believe you're Soul Mate & gift?

That you can only solve & uplift?

That you are the only expert here?

That your words & actions bring cheer?

Lies, Lies And More Lies

Everywhere- lies, lies, and more lies,

To decipher,  do we have the eyes?

Can you hear the caged truth's cries?

Do you have it in you to face & apprise?

Do What You Can

You are here and now, and this is the place you're destined to be.

But, being stationary, one can't possibly move from Point A to B!

Start where you are and keep moving; you have places to go!

Stop not, fret not, the best is yet to come & you'll see & show!

You cannot and mustn't complain about what you don't have here.

Use everything to the best of your capacity, drive your car in top gear!

Remember, you are one of the "Haves", and you've resources to use.

Be resourceful to understand and make the most of available cues.

Just Keep Digging

What do I do when I have simply no clue?

I try figuring it out as I dig relentlessly

While digging, I look for what's true-

Making sense of what comes effortlessly.

Fulfilling Journey Ahead!

Where we want our boat to go and where it finally does, depends on our navigating skills.

Some don't know how to steer, and conveniently blame the wheels, wind etc for the ills!

What the new day brings to us will depend a great deal on what we bring to the new day.

If we look at the days in store and feel they are dark, how can bright light shine & stay?

The calendar's day has changed; hopefully, the lessons and experiences have made us wiser.

While the process of learning & unlearning has had its impact, and perhaps, we are nicer.

Here's a golden opportunity to change the script and do the new- be the version we choose.

This is our life, and this we know- time to tighten what's loose; we have nothing to lose!

Every day is a new day; chance to take life like an interesting, informative book to be read.

Have a promising and fulfilling new day with laughter, love, and light in the journey ahead!

I had initially written this for the new year 2026.

Three months have already passed! March is ending! It will be April soon. New day, new week, new month - such a boon!

Ocean In The Drop

They said I’m just a drop-

A drop that is part of ocean’s kitty.

A drop that by itself is flop!

A drop in the ocean is my identity.

I adjusted myself to the place-

I played my role with sincerity.

I knew I was full of grace.

Not average; I was infinity!

Fireworks In The Journey Ahead

Where we want our boat to go and where it finally does, depends on our navigating skills.

If we look at the days in store and feel they are dark, how can there possibly be cheer?
What the new year brings to us will depend a great deal on what we bring to the new year.

Behold what's there right in front and up above- feel it, live it, make it a part of your story!

Fireworks in the sky dazzle and light up in a grand show - a great celebration and memory.

Peace Is Our Shared Business

"Why are you fighting? Become friends again!"

The above plea received this reply that was insane-

"Mind your own business! Don't be a pain!"

"Why are you so bothered? What'll you gain?"

In our world, blinded by loss, profit & investment,

Everything seems like an accounts statement!

Being honest, sincere, good, kind, or innocent,

Comes with its tags like opportunist, villain & tyrant!

But, our prayers for them & all? Can you guess?

May all think & do good! May all stay blessed!

May everyone's wise words resonate & refresh. 

May peace & goodwill be everyone's business.

Inspired by "peace on earth is our shared business" from this hearty Christmas wish- christmas-morning wish

Festive wishes for all! May all be happy and peaceful.

Absurd

Absurdity begins & thrives because of some.

Some are ready to give it a red-carpet welcome!

Not all lights are necessary, nor do all glow bright.

How many advocate the extinction of useless lights?

Gut-Punch

Gut punches are for real, and we get to feel-

No matter what, we are here to learn to deal.

If we do not step in as students here,

The test will become tougher to bear.

When the gut-punch comes, welcome it.

Welcome our teacher to teach us bit by bit.

See the signs, identify the patterns soon.

Understand that gut-punches are a boon!

Sparkle To Her Eyes

He tried everything that he could do.

Everyone believed he was truly wise-

He took hints, trying to crack each clue.

He knew he would pay any price.

Reminder and Expectation

What appears may or may not be true.

All that glitters isn't gold, we know.

But, we take what appears at face value.

The proof is what we're shown & show.

That Battle Within

There's always a fiery battle raging within-

Should we express what may be considered a sin?

Or keep quiet like the rest- why create a din?

Say nothing or share loudly- which will win?

Be My Guest

Be my guest to be my guest -

Mind your own business; don't be a pest!

Many do not know & I am still learning.

May we all get what we are yearning!

I Am October

I am October - the tenth month of the year,

Reminding you that another new year is near!

Yes, round the corner, just two months after me!

Why think of endings; why not the journey?

Super Supine

I thought I was "Super"; to prove I gave more.

My extra efforts always improved my great score.

I activated & advocated thinking I was doing just fine.

But, the adjective they used for me was "Supine".
