Orb of the night

At every turn I run into you,
Your incessant presence is quite remarkable.
Your graciousness is unmissable!
So still, yet moving,
Gliding through rampantly-
Abiding by an unspoken promise
To never leave me bereft.
Your transcendent aura emits tranquility &
as I continue to gaze at you, I see nothing;
But a messenger of the Divine’s love & creation.
I often find myself-
envying the companionship of the stardom- that follows you.
It may aghast you to hear that thought of mine, but I may add that-
these redundant thoughts merely hold any weight!
It’s all forgiven in love & war- they say;
Who am I to question the fabricated truth.
I’m just another human with a raging tempest on the inside,
Bickering contingencies on the exterior.
So dear Lunar light, it seems that I’m here
At your grace,
Yearning for your curvy embrace which makes me feel at solace.
Eluding the reality for a teensy while,
I shall see you in my dreams tonight!

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?!

Knowing thyself

Nature perpetually finds a way around (Pinterest image)

Nature perpetually finds a way around,
So shall we, despite the adversities of life!
Entrenched with strong roots of wisdom,
We are branches of the same Collective being!
Nothing lasts forever, but our Spirit.
It’s about time, to grow spiritually &
To intertwine with
the omnipresent:
For Renaissance of our adrift soul!
Nature perpetually finds a way around,
But, will we?
Where’s our attention?
Inside us or loitering outside?
There is a dire need
for contemplation &
Integration with the truth: the Divine.

It’s Okay..

ultimatesolace.wordpress.com

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.

Black & White Series: #3 Big Little Ducks

Big Little Ducks Went Swimming One Day

Does anyone remember the famous rhyme of all time:

“FIVE LITTLE DUCKS WENT SWIMMING ONE DAY…

Over the hill & far away……”

Motherhood has brought in a change in my perspective about life and the things or the situations I witness. The good news is that the change is for the better! 😇😍

Have a nice day peeps!

Much ❤

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.

LET’S TALK: MY NEGATIVE ATTRIBUTE

I mostly write poems to express myself, but I would like to write my feelings down and this time I choose to write it here at word press. Well, I believe in optimism and prefer writing positive things rather than concentrating on the negativity! But I wouldn’t lie that I have not touched the dark areas that exists in everybody’s life at some point or other while jotting down a poem or a #FROM MY DIARY posts or #MY THOUGHTS posts. So, here I am, and by now you all would have noticed that I am having a hard time writing things straight forward; kindly bear with me and my shenanigans! 

Ahh, I’m finally done procrastinating and here I am actually writing about it. My mother often complains that I don’t face situations as it is, I prefer dealing with it at a later date, mostly when things get out of hands. I have denied this to her and to anyone who mentions that I prefer or rather love to postpone things or dealing with things; oh don’t you think that I am lazy or I don’t like working my ass off. That ain’t true my friend, I love working as hard as it gets and give my best to whatever has been allotted to me or I choose to do it myself! But, now it’s high time that I realize that procrastination is the worst attribute to possess and I would very much like to work at it and likely so face the situation then and there. 

IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?! Well no point in thinking ahead right? Talking about procrastination, things I have done so far that reflects this very attribute are (yeah I’m daring enough to list it out here):

1. Ignored swelling over my knee joint (recent most, I am still having a swelling over my knee which is secondary to the another negative attribute I possess which I shall share in my next post of Negative Attributes, let’s make it a series then, what say? Do I hear, “Yay” or Nay”? )
2. Ignored pain in my wrist joint (diagnosed with Tenosynovitis of right wrist and well, this I alone can’t be blamed for not getting appropriately treated for this, as I am lactating and the treatment advised by an Orthopedic was complete immobilization (wearing forearm splint 24×7) of the wrist for 3-4 weeks and perhaps casting was another option for the same which definitely would have been difficult as I have a small baby with me. So it was basically not an option, but I did wear the splint during office hours (uhh, I don’t have an office as I am a final year postgrad pursuing MD in Community Medicine). 
3. I try to push everything, even my work at college, I tend to keep everything for the end and then on the final day I freak out and pull an all night-er, which is not that feasible given the current situation.
4. I have listed a few and there are a lot more instances where I prefer to postpone or try to sleep it off, as if its a headache or a hangover. Sadly, that’s not the case.

Now, I guess I would like to change this attitude, and would love to reform myself. Any supporters out there? who may have faced similar issues and end up reacting the same way as I do then do write to me in the comment section. Would love to get in touch and may be try to figure how to get rid of the procrastinating habit and face everything on my plate.

That’s all for today!

Thank you for hearing me out.

 

Happy Holidays!

Love, 

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.
