UNCERTAINTY

This veil of uncertainty: overwhelming.

It’s running me down,

It’s riling me up!

The over exhaustive tosses of it-

is crumbling my energy away.

Uncertainty of time,

Uncertainty of place,

Uncertainty of everything-

That’s hiding in disguise!

I’m well aware of the faith

that’s dormant in me.

I’m well aware of the light that’s 

smoldering within,

Abandoning smoke to fog up-

my window to the other side!

Oh dear Uncertainty,

I eagerly wish for your well-being;

I hope you haven’t forgotten-

you’re merely a voyager of time.

Soon you’ll be pushed to the past,

and in no time you’ll be replaced

I’m quite certain of that,

Aren’t you?!

Misunderstood

Words: they leave my mind
to create ripples of chaos;
that coalesce to form
gigantic waves of emotions.
Catalyzed by the:
lack of communication
& perhaps,
cause of the
redundant miscommunication.
There, I stand feeling
Misunderstood.

It’s Okay..

It’s okay to feel lost at times,
It’s okay to not have a plan;
It’s okay to not seek, want or need.
But it isn’t okay to stay stagnant!
It isn’t okay to stay imbalanced,
It isn’t okay to self-deprecate!
It’s time, to love oneself,
It’s time, to feel joy in our hearts,
It’s time, to give up the pessimism!
Oh yes, it’s time to say yes~
To yourself,
To peace of mind,
To getting rid of everything that’s stopping you;
From achieving all that you want, need or seek.

P.S: First, love yourself & be kind! Sending sunshine your way! Have a great day peeps!🌞🌞😇😇🙏

Changing

Changing

I'm changing at every turn of life
But the folded corners of me remain untouched
I'm changing at every turn of time
But the spirit that I'm continues to shine
I'm changing at every turn of emotion
But I'm still learning to witness before reacting
I'm changing at every turn of the circumstances
But the strength that I'm is still within me
I'm changing with every wave of ocean
But the drop that I'm, I evanesce in the same water
Where I lose my I and become one with the whole.
I'm changing all the time
But the love and compassion within abides.

#4 Black & White Series: Birds of the same feather

"Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all."
Emily Dickinson

~Shambhavi ⭐

P.S.: Came across this feather near my building; it’s pretty amazing isn’t it?

Overwhelmed

Relentlessly trying to do the needful,

Yet I find myself in stagnant waters

of dismay & distraught.

I feel overwhelmed,

I feel rather lost and incapable;

And I don’t think that’s quite a nice feeling to have.

I’m rowing upstream without paddle,

Against the roaring storm

Shadowing time, but still falling behind.

They say that if God doesn’t catch you when you fall-

He will give you wings to fly.

But I feel I’m neither flying or falling,

Stuck in the middle I suppose?!

Or at the edge of the cliff?!

Hoping for some refuge.

Into Oblivion

Fencing my thoughts away
into oblivion,
I let myself percolate into the universe.
Wrapped snugly under the blanket
of stars that lit the magnificent night sky.
Fencing my thoughts away
into oblivion,
I let myself graze the blades of grass–
that cautiously held the drops of dew
From falling onto my foreign skin.
Fencing my thoughts away
into oblivion,
I let myself muse over the infinite stretch–
of sea that ceases to contain within
the boundaries drawn by man.
Fencing my thoughts away
into oblivion,
I let myself crawl over the soft earth-
that absorbed all the negative within
leaving space for the
intertwined roots of love & joy
To deepen down & touch the soul;
That fell short of tender, love and care.
Fencing my thoughts away
into oblivion,
I let the divine knowledge quench-
the thirst of roots that grew deeper
To unite the soul with it’s creator.
Fencing my thoughts away
into oblivion,
I let myself abide by the energy-
that birthed within & around
to live a life with the sole purpose
of being one with the divine.

I’ll not stop loving you

I’ll not stop loving you!

We’ve arrived solitary &
We shall go back unchaperoned!
But somehwere down the lane
of life, you felt like you’re mine!
Of the many lives that we have lived &
of the many lives we may live
This life is all I’ve got &
I’ll not stop loving you;
I’ll not stop loving you!

Dear Starry Skies,

Dear starry skies

Do you feel it too?
The thrill that I feel
when I look at you;
I’m astounded by-
the power you have over me!
Oh dear starry skies,
I stare at you Starry-eyed
pulled in by your magnificence.
Oh dear starry skies,
You embellish the beautiful night sky-
While the lunar light falls short
of the charisma that you carry through!
~Shambhavi

Sail of Life

Soothing lunar light-
Falling on your dewy skin.
Gazing starry eyed at
The infinite horizon;
Attempting to
Grasp every single detail.
Living in the moment
Breathing in crisp air
Letting yourself
Go with the flow.
Setting sail of life
In the direction
Of the wind.
Surrendering oneself
To the energy within & around.
