This Is Who I Am

Anitha
Wife of Jayasankar, mother of Ashwin
I love creativity, to feel the soul of nature, my muse, and music
I admire every little thing in nature

I keep myself happy by doing things I love to do
To friends, I am loyal
I try to give them my love and support

When I happen to breathe in the polluted air of deception and hypocrisy
and am stressed, 
I relax, breathe out and sing a soulful song to de-stress myself
The warmth of the smile of cute babies
and their innocent babbles
soothes me at once, when perturbed

I am in awe of God's marvellous creations, 
and the universal appeal that babies of all species hold

I am kind, tender and a romantic at heart
I am cheerful, happy and feel others' pain

I fear lizards, interacting with sly, duplicitous people, dreadful diseases, and a world when all green gone

I would like to fly high in my dreams, uninterrupted, to a perfect paradise and bask in its beauty and peace
I would like to dream more, write more and my voice be heard
I would like to seek the soul of Ultimate Universal Truth.

A resident of Maharashtra, India
Jayasankar

Went back and found this beautiful Bio poem about you, Ani. Poetry Soup needs more poets with a loving heart and soul like yours, my friend. This was uplifting and spoke to my heart and soul. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

I am so pleased that you placed in my recent contest. Your bio was nicely written and presented. I judged these blind, so I had no idea who was who. I selected those that were most appealing to me. Thanks for entering. Congratulations. Now, I would suggest you change the XXXXs to your name.
