It's Never Too Late

July 27, 2023

I have seen people complaining about their lot in life Whining and moaning, berating their fate Lamenting the hand that life has dealt them Thinking that life's not so great I wonder why they go on so. Angry, unforgiving souls With emotions buried deep within Their smiles long forgotten And their dreams comatose I want to shake them and wake them To tell them it's not too late Life is but one, short and bittersweet The good and the bad , two sides of the same coin Sometimes happy , sometimes sad But definitely worth living this short life of ours If life seems a never ending sorrow Change the circumstances, only you have the power to do so And accept what cannot be changed Smile more often, forgive a little more Shake off the feelings of despair and doom Learn to leave ego and pride outside the door Make empathy and compassion the norm It's never too late to change your mind To become the person you dese...

RECLAIM YOUR LIFE!

July 21, 2023

I sit down in the darkened room With the soft light of dusk enveloping me in its arms And ponder about where I am headed Why has my sparkle dimmed? When did this happen? Was it when I grew up and took on responsibilities that would have brought even the strongest to their knees? Was it when the burdens of the world seemed heavier all of a sudden? Is it only me? Or are there women like me out there, who feel overwhelmed by the lives they are leading? Let me tell you this, the lessons I've learnt while trudging through the quicksand. We did not sign up for this. It is not a life time contract, this feeling that we need to do things all at once, and single-handedly. We need to regain our lost courage.. the courage to say no, the courage to put ourselves first It's alright to prioritise ourselves for a change, To be able to let go and do things that make us happy for once To throw away our inhibitions ...

LIVE IN THE MOMENT!

July 14, 2023

LIVE IN THE MOMENT A carefree childhood brings with it, laughter and unbridled happiness. There is no time for worry Just fun and games and joy. That's the life we all long for. As adults, we often look back And reminisce about the days gone by, We long for those moments once more. As we sit alone in silence, We wonder.. What if? What if we could turn back the clock And be children again? Would it make the pain go away? Would the burdens of adulthood lessen? But let me tell you one thing that I have learnt Looking back only makes us happy for an instant. Real happiness lies in looking forward True peace comes with acceptance of the present and anticipation of the future. Why pine for a lost childhood, when we can unleash the inner child which exists in all of us. Yes, the inner child.. who has gotten lost in the chaotic lives we lead. When and how did we forget to laugh without restraint? When was ...

THE WINDING ROAD...

July 10, 2023

This winding road... it undulates like a village woman, carrying pots of water on her slender waist.. This winding road...Is it leading me to my destination? The destination of my dreams? or is it the destination of my destiny? Or maybe the bend in the road is just a brief stop... where I can rest a while and recall past mistakes, past regrets? Or maybe, where I can look forward into the future and contemplate how life would turn out to be? Any which way, this road leads me to unknown, uncharted places... Places where I can leave my mark, places where I can be at peace, places where I can finally and truly be ME!

A Day By The Sea I have fond memories of days spent at the beach. Sitting on the damp sand, the feel of it like molten silk A pail, a spade and my little fingers, Building a sand castle so fine. Collecting tiny shells and shiny pieces of wrappers, I decorate it and look at it with pride My creation, haphazard at best. But the feeling is something I cannot describe. A feeling of achivement. But soon this joy turns to sadness. The tears roll down my cheeks, As I watch the tides turn and the waters rushing in, washing away my castle. And taking it out to sea. Fast forward to adulthood. I have grown but my fascination for the sea hasn't dimmed. It has only intensified with the passing years. When I feel low and life surrounds me like a shroud, I turn to the sea. For it knows all my secrets, it feels my fears and pain. The rushing waves come to greet me like a long lost friend. The shifting sand beneath my feet hold me enthralled, too scared to move, but comforted too. The undulating waves whisper in my ears, the sound as soothing as a mother's voice. The calmeness encircles me like the arms of a child around my neck. The waves tell me not to give up. They remind of the tides of life.They say it's going to be fine. And my spirits lift, the pain dissolves like the foam clinging to the waves. I have found the answers. I have made my peace And once again, all is well in my world.

A New Beginning

July 02, 2023

A new dawn is breaking The promise of another day My aching heart resists, It wants to hide in the shadows Lurking in the dark It shields itself against the brightening day But giving up? Is it an option? My head hurts with thoughts My heart in turmoil Confusing me further But I need to be brave I must don my armour, Ready to face the world To calm my inner demons Life is tough, it is difficult to get through the day But I will persevere I will face the world Without losing my softness And the tenderness within I have been hurt, the scars are raw But I will continue to trust I will love with my heart's humble thrust For love and friendship to get in Once again, I will open the windows to my soul Life has been a series of let downs And disappointments galore But I will open up my heart again To let in love and friendship No matter how life has treated me I will believe again I will emerge stronger and calmer It may not be to my liking It may not be wha...
