Skip and slide
Twirl and spin
Recognize your truth
Let your sunshine in
Live easy
Life is a game
Play with gladness
Carpe diem ! Enjoy your present moment.
Stay dynamic to feel life in every limb
Listen to the sweet tweets of birds at dawn.
Sense the beauty and fragrance of blossoms.
Soothing breeze is blowing ! Seize the day.
Look at shivering of shy leaves on touch of wind.
Reminiscing thrill of your first soft kiss.
Romance in love to ripple in your heart.
Honour your today, as gift of your life
Tomorrow you may think on tomorrow.
What will , will be : Future not to see.
Life is short ! Every moment to utilise.
Not to lose a day, time is precious,
flowing for ever , not to rewind.
Life does not run as continuous function
but a collection of discrete chapters.
By the pond, gloomy thoughts fail me
As I watch swans' shadows drift by--
Elegant their sway along water ‘s trail
Unlike the tight gait of my body,
My spine drooping low as duskfall ebbs:
Out of wonder, my bleak eyes marvel
At a bird-dance rivering into night ,
Where flutters of plume bounce sublime
Like velvet outlines robed in pearled wings.
Through their spin, I ache for abandon
Where I seek this pleasure of Now
To jiggle on, to feed on what's present :
There, then... swans suddenly whirl around me
Pure and possessed as moon’s climb...
Enthralled, my arms run with the breeze
Tiptoeing wildly past the crystal bend
My soul echoing, ' dance me in starlight,'
And relishing such bliss... without restraint!
A golden orb in the east revealed a cobalt
And charcoal gray sky through sighing pines
As blossoms still hang upon magnolia
And one lone crow flies close by
Pouring rain, that I beheld
As I was cooking French Toast
The lights blinked and went out
I said than you, Lord, it's not cold'
Mornings start in so many ways
How could I ever be bored
Thank you, God, for your love
Help me always sing Your praise
"I, submissive to nature's whispers, see all chaos disappear
into a calmness in quiet stillness and healing solitude pleasures." Quote by poet
The whimsical obscure winter touch
has softened; its cool breath lingers.
Its effortless embrace is fresh and welcoming.
The calming music and refined wind chimes
are performing together away disorder.
Nature's live oak leaves waltz freely,
and flowers accompany ardently
with a dance, bobbing their perfection.
My ears pick up every echo.
The whiff of the surroundings brings clarity,
joy, and peace, bringing comfort and making
my soul very drowsy. I dangle my thoughts
from my life to live in the moment
of now in a dream with a smile.
By Poet: "Sometimes there are No words, just feelings that talk very loud."
My eyes only want to see beauty,
a bright sun coming over the meadow.
My ears need to hear a sweet song,
chippering birds with their little hearts.
My taste buds always like to tingle,
to the sweet words from you to me.
My feelings take flight around the world,
upon the wings of loving angels.
My heart will always bubble feelings of love,
love from simple beauty in life.
Accepting death not for the first time
It has been for several decades
The soul never spends a life fully
Every time it ends cynically
Once it happened due to starvation
The sinless soul obeyed destiny
Became a prey for fusion power
When it took shelter in a soldier
The six enemies trigger the mind
The counter factors of mental peace
Unheard slaughter by unseen virus
Can man flee from nature's aggression?
Every time a new impediment
Race, region, economy, ego
Vicious and sharp clutches of man-made
Is there an end for this agony?

“Live each one with joy-
Life's gift, a brand new day.”
__by Poet
There comes a time in life when every day
becomes a prize as each rolls by.
We know the waiting sunset is in view;
with dark, cold night around the bend.
Embrace each day as if it were the best.
Help shape it, not to be the last.
Try filling it with heartfelt forms of love-
caressing blessings as they come.
Recall those years of giving, we still share-
be large or small, that makes them smile,
along with love and kindness, they give too
that paves the purpose of our paths.
Safeguard those snapshots in fond memories
with what still sparkles every day,
then tuck away all things that cause deep pain.
Let's live our joy in happy days.
Find the ambiance enshrouded by sunset
serenely embrace its majesty with your heart
Engage your dreams from this evening's glow
So the colors of the sky may bring you peace
Watch the birds glide in soft silhouettes
where they spiral on unseen winds over the sea
while you rest your soul from their peaceful gliding
and feel a sense of calmness with every breath
Journey through the wilderness of your thoughts
drown in the wonder of rapturous beauty
declared by the last dying rays of the sun
that turns twilight dark at the end of this day
"How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives." ~ Anne Dillard
What shall I do with this moment -
only a moment - not even a day to seize.
I don't have anyone's expectations
or anything that's happened before,
whether I wish it hadn't happened,
or I wish desperately to cling to it.
I don't have anything that will be,
whether something I dread or something wonderful,
just this place and time, this body, this mind.
I only have this precious moment,
and this moment is all I need.
What shall I do with this moment?
Plunge boldly into the thick of life, and seize it where you will, it is always interesting. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The alarm screams, but I let it fade,
pressing palms to warm sleep-swollen cheeks.
Outside, a crow cracks the dawn in two~
I want to taste its blackberry beak.
Coffee steam writes promises on air,
each sip erasing yesterday’s debt.
My socks mispaired; the universe winks.
The freeway hum stitches the sunset.
Dandelions breach the concrete,
their gold teeth gnawing at parking lots.
I pick up a pebble, smooth as time,
letting it weigh down my what-ifs and nots.
The moon arrives early, drunk on light,
slurring silver across my doorstep.
I step right through tomorrow’s thin skin.
The rain on this Fall day is like grieving,
over deaths and the end of innocence;
leaves fluttering away like the departed,
oh, but rest your heart for beauty awaits.
Feel the raindrops kiss your face with love,
see the beauty all around in all the hues;
the rain is washing away all the sorrow,
let it cleanse you and make you new.
Take a walk and listen to the music of rain,
it will turn your sadness into acceptance;
and your grieving into living your life,
letting go does not mean you did not love.
Let this rainy day calm your spirit and soul,
sit and watch it falling on your window;
nature is amazing and full of wonder,
find the beauty in rain- let go of the negative.
Dare to dream all things, mild to mighty,
Yielding to no artificial bounds!
You’re the one who gives meaning to them.
Others claim how foolish it all sounds.
Life sometimes hangs heavy on your dreams,
Tarnishing bright ideas with “rust.”
Keeping their flickering flames alive
Takes vision, courage, will, and self-trust.
Believe in lofty ideals, and
Don’t be trapped in your life, day-to-day.
Steady work on your dreams makes them real
And will keep them from fading away.
Care like you're reaching for the moon
~ let each day take your breath away
