If Not ...

If not for the thorns, the allure for the rose is lost,

If not for the failures, the inspiration for success is lost,

If not for the darkness, the sparkle of the light is lost,

If not for the flaws, the individuality of self is lost 

Hope an Elixir

Like a barren tree with the leaves fallen,

Longing only for the elixir of life.

The dreams though appear shattered,

Yearning only to be rekindled by a ray of hope.

Life through Colors

Waking on a golden - hued sunny day,

I wish to be filled with an aura of optimism,

Hoping for the strength to face the challenges of life. 

Walking on the green grass,

I wish to be held strong and feel connected with things around,

Holding all my strengths and weakness with acceptance. 

 

Gazing at the blue sky,

I wish to spread my wings and wander in weightlessness,

Ignoring the insecurities and uncertainties of life.

 

Observing the grey water-laden clouds,

I wish to be refreshed with a cleansing downpour of invigorating thoughts,

Wanting to embrace living in the moment. 

 

Being awake on a black dark night,

I wish to hide my fears and remorse’s,

Hoping for the new dawn that brings a self-awakening.

 

Hope

"Give the child the gift of HOPE and the opportunity to dream the impossible".

Dew drops

"The light falling on a dew drop,

Glistening to reflect the universe,

Looking through it one wonders,

How mighty the tiny droplet is".
