We have a unique relationship with ourselves, which is the focus of this poetry. This poetry is about the questions which we need to consider for ourselves. Why do we underestimate ourselves, hold ourselves back, we victimize and weaken ourselves despite of being strong and doing good. It also implies that we should thank ourselves, appreciate ourselves , find ourselves, build ourselves, just be ourselves and hold on to ourselves for all that we do, all that we have and all that we are. We often overlook our efforts and goodness. We should embrace ourselves as we are the source of energy itself.
This episode is about how much strength lies in stillness. Stillness is so important as it calms us, gives us clarity, helps us visualise, helps us break our barriers. It even helps us listen to our voice by silencing out the external noise. We can find answers in stillness. When we are still, we can realise our inner strength. When we are still, we can find our purpose and life within.
This poetry is written on a full moon day comparing ourselves with the moon, it's phases, it's imperfections, it's darkness and light, it's ever changing process. We all are just like the moon - we go through phases, we are different versions of ourselves, we have our dark side, we have imperfections, we are calm, we are also filled with light and we are changing forever. We are just like the moon. Happy Full Moon !
This poem is about self love and self journey. It's about choosing to go within in the unknown, choosing to listening to the soul for guidance, choosing to be a misfit instead of trying to fit in, choosing to be silent amidst the noise of being right, choosing to be still in the rush, and choosing to be ME in the competition of becoming something.
This poem talks about the soul's journey through all seasons- winter, spring, summer and fall. The soul goes through dry winters which is said to be a dull and dark period where it find its light which leads it to the spring. In the season of spring soul seems to get cleansed, there are no lingering effects from the past and then gets ready for the new beginning in the summer time. The soul is said to find its home in summers and when fall comes it decides to let go of everything to start all over again. (Music credits - Autumn in Paris by Jan Baars)
' I AM LIFE '
I hither and thither like a pile of sand, I burn and dout like fire and ash. I want to break the confinement of all the boundaries, I want to turn the paths of storms of all the hardships. I am destroyed and made up within myself, I am scared of myself and I fight with myself.
I am life , let me live. I flow and stop like wind in the sky, I move and exhaust like time and motion. I want to touch the heights of layers of the sky, I want to see the depth of surface of the sea. I get entangled within myself, I get ravelled withing myself. I get scattered from myself, I get tied up to myself. I am life, let me live.
Are we free ? After 75 years of independence, are we free ? After fighting against the outsiders, are we free ? With carrying so much hatred in our hearts, are we free ? After sacrificing so many lives, are we free ? Not speaking against the wrong, are we free ? Stuck between what is yours and what is mine, are we free ? Living the new lifestyle but are we free ? The fight is still going on, are we free ? If our thinking is still old so are we free ?
This poem is about meeting a lover. It is about the serendipity of the moment of locking eyes with the lover and feelings of falling in love. It is also about how a lover becomes a part of thoughts, all experiences, feelings, evening and life. It is about the desire of love.
We need to go miles, we need to break our own heart, we need to face our shadows, we need to fall, we need to lose ourselves and we need to fight - to find ourselves.
We grow up with so many things familiar which seem to appear unfamiliar over a period of time. As we grow, we change. We start seeking peace in unknown places and we start finding sense in randomness.
How often do we listen to the voice that comes from within ? How often do we dip into our heart and find what's there in it ? Aren't we all too blinded by what others want us to see ? Do we love ourselves enough to JUST BE ?
This poetry is dedicated to all fathers who no matter how strict or hard they seem but we know their love for us cannot be measured. Cheers to all dads !
It is about the inner power to make magic happen. It is the heart that leads us to the treasure. Life is a journey of letting go of the old and embracing the new which can turn the lead into gold. That's an alchemy.
Are we actually living in the moment or just bothered about yesterday and tomorrow and caught up in what is not there rather than celebrating what is there. We are always busy thinking and doing so many things than living, so when do we live ?
She is a beautiful creation of God, she is just like God's own shadow. In the scorching heat of pain, she is like the shade of relief. One could sleep peacefully only when she has put you to sleep, one could get relief in fear only when she has hugged with love. Folow @maulofowords for more.
Tears should be like night where it soothes you like a calming moon light, that smile on your face should be like that bright light of the new morning, love in your heart should match the depth of the sea, your courage should be so high that it hugs the damn sky. No matter how deep your pain is, all your sorrows should shine like bright stars and this world be illuminated tomorrow such that you will be able to see the beautiful moon of your dreams.
The void is for you to embrace the emptiness. There is resting, waiting, hope, seeing and beauty in the void.
This poem is about an inner child which lives within you and me, who is upset and lost because of this world. As adults we leave that inner child behind hurt and broken. The inner child wants our acknowledgement, acceptance, healing and love. There is an inner child in you and there is an inner child in me who wants us to see.
This poetry talks about how a person loses himself/herself in love. A lover with eyes full of tears, walks happily on the path of love which is full of thorns, forgets his/her own happiness for other's sake, gives up on oneself to give in more to the person, and keeps living the life bit by bit with the memories of the lover.
It is a hindi poetry which presents the perception of life. How it is complicated yet simple, long yet short, difficult yet easy, bitter yet sweet. This poem deals with the paradox of life and tells that the life itself is a paradox.
We hold ourselves back, keep ourselves guarded because of fear, insecurities, low self worth and self esteem issues and keep holding on to the chains of existence thinking that we will be safe but we actually let ourselves suffer more and do not allow ourselves to be free, to just BE.
A connection with one true self, which means a connection with the heart, with the Universe, with the Divine and ultimately with the life.
What we feel, what we seek, what we experience, what we want to see - it is all within us. What we see outside is what we choose to see. It all starts from you, it all starts from within.
Life is a journey of searching for oneself, looking in all the places, finding ways, like a traveller exploring new places, experiencing different things. Life is a journey of self realisation at every step. Everytime you are lost, you always find yourself in your heart. jwiBfwjpBalWATyqN1OY
