In this journey
We walk into the unknown
The clock’s hands
Drag us towards it
A day packed with surprises
Our plans do not matter
We seem to deny the fact
Unknown is our journey
Afraid of the known
Created by our imagination
What have we created?
In the unknown we have to delve
To look for the right answers
We have to be aware
When we step into the unexplored
To be a willing learner
We have to be accepting

Nothing gorgeous
About being draped
In the finery that constricts
The heart and soul

If not dwarfed by the
Everyday challenges
And the sameness
Let’s reach for the
Window ledge
We may have lost sight
Of the outside world
Tinted glasses
Reflected the rays of hope
Only darkness within
Stretch beyond
And reach for it
To view a whole new world

Sometimes life leaves us empty
Without the words and feelings
Much like the empty bottle
And no message within
No destination to look forward to
At the shore, gazing at the vast sea
Too forlorn to swim across
Without a message and a purpose
The empty feeling
For life has created a vacuum

When stillness of the night
Is infused with the silver light
You hold on to a golden crucible
When the night’s dew
Aged to perfection by nature
Blends perfectly in the concoction
A feeling of euphoria
As you hold on to the perfect moment
Drinking the unusual harmony
Leaving you lightheaded
With a caress of the cold breeze
And you do away with sobriety
To take hold of the night’s beauty
Becoming one with the night
As the darkness drapes you
With the intoxicated air
For you to inhale the aroma
Of sheer delight

The soul finds solace
In the soliloquy
As sense prevails
Sonorous voice
Touches the self
Making complete sense
Simple moments
Salubrious to the soul
Mind and heart in sync
Simple seeking
Worth the search

When winter is at its peak
And temperatures plummet
Festive fervor keeps us warm
Love and wishes for everyone
From the heart and soul
White is the symbol of peace
And red, the glow of love
It strengthens the bond
With the flames of love kindled
In every heart and home
Winter’s sweetness to savor
Shake away the cold
And keep the happiness intact
With kind words and deeds
As we wait for another year
Full of hope, beauty, and love
