Walk in a park with music blasting,
going along the red sand path
Amidst a song aiding avoid noises away,
my earphone’s battery goes away
Looking around, people, oh people,
self-consciousness circling me
Looking around the park, spotting
flowers, spectrum, oh spectrum
The odour of spring, brings the dead to life,
The battery of my earphones went dead,
flowers aided my soul to alight with life

I am currently reading the book, The Power of Now : A guide to spiritual enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle and there’s this pause symbol after certain passages which suggests to stop reading the book for a moment, to become still and to comprehend whatever you read. As I kept on reading the book further, the symbol brought another meaning to me. A week ago, I put it up as my phone wallpaper to give me gentle reminders to take a pause from the ongoing chatter on my mind and feel my inner self, my consciousness beneath the mindless chatter. It helps me to remain calmer than before, bring clarity in whatever task I’m performing and also helps me to make good judgments. I realized the power of symbols after this event. What a couple of strokes of brushes with no prior identity or meaning can do, when turned into a symbol, is mesmerizing. Communicating the motive through symbol might seem incomplete or unjustified, but it certainly isn’t.
Sweet hustle wind goes by
shadows and reflections casting
People amidst myriad of scenes
the carnival, a play of lives
Moments of joy, moments of melancholy
moments of fear, moments of ecstasy
Debilitated clown, puts up a smile pennies
Frazzled rich, bagged up with shiny and new
Homeless child, pleading for free toys
Minted ones, jumping into countless rides

It’s the rejuvenating cool breeze
on a sultry summer day
It’s the smile and laughter
shared with a loved one
It’s the sound of the waves
and seagulls on a beach
It’s the chirping of birds
on a lush green track
It’s the feeling of gratitude and care
for oneself and others around
It’s the contentment in minimal
It’s the faith in oneself and the divine

Darkness encloses, not sign of light
stomach churns, what a state of plight
Holding on to,
those sweet memories of past
those happy days that didn’t last
Holding on to,
the faith once, so strong
the believe, it’s not wrong
Holding on to,
the good old days, to come again
dark storm to end, peace to hail again

Heard everyone say
they are all people,
people, like you and me
Heard everyone say
they are all people
people, with the same brains
In reality,
people are different.
Difference,
it makes them what they are,
it makes the world what it is.
In reality,
people have different abilities
people have different outlook
In reality,
everyone should be respected
because everyone is worth it

Standing in front of the mirror
looking up and down, you shiver
Glimpse of a ‘perfect’ body flashes
Your body’s contour mismatches
The skin isn’t scarless
The figure isn’t flawless
The society scorn and taunts
advocates it’s ruthless wants
The world defines a ‘beauty’
disregards the nature’s duty

Gazing up the night sky
I let out a deep sigh
Did I ascend and won the fight
Or is the dream still out of sight
Is the path I’m on still right
all I feel is my flickering might
Gazing up the night sky
I look up to the stars and cry
The twinkle blinds my eye
suddenly a thought passes by
The countless stars sing to me
“Endless opportunities awaits thee”

Time an unregarded,
underrated element
an element
of invincibility
an element
of surprise

Greed or need,
It’s a thin line indeed
Greed is when
“more” is the mantra
Need is when
“enough” is the mantra
Work for your needs
Discard your greeds
In the end,
the path of contentment
terminates resentment
