Trust your will always;
The youthful godlike nature
Is not forgotten.
(Weekly Magnetic Poetry Challenge • July 13–19, 2026)
From the beginning
Your love held me in good stead
Keeping my soul with constancy
Before my eyes discerned the light
Before my hands discovered their might
Before my mouth your name could say
Before my feet could find their way
Before my ears could give direction
Before my heart savored your affection
From the beginning
Your love held me in good stead
Keeping my soul with constancy
Life can recognise
Caste, religion and colour-
A disease of three symptoms:
Caste is engaged with skirmish,
Religion flares up with sudden
Intensity of furiousness, and
Colour creates dissociation.
None but DEATH is constant:
He never plays the role of an actor,
He never does judge on caste, religion And colour:
He believes that there is no gap
Between the palace and the hut.
Constancy is scarce in life
Although it's usual
In Mathematical and scientific theories
In life we yearn for an increasing ratio
In happiness,wealth, power and fame
These are great expectations,dreams
And greeds
In life we yearn for a decreasing ratio
In efforts
This is laziness
Success is propotional to efforts
Wisdoms and fate
And so a constant ratio is scarce
And an increasing ratio is scarce too
If without efforts, wisdoms and luck
If without conspiracy and scandals
The consequence is more obvious
And so
Don't just envy and admire
But try your best
And accept your rewards from God
And find yourself any pride
And find yourself any satisfaction
There is solace in the silent stone
There is serenity as feathers brush a quiet breeze
There is tranquility in the ambient veneer of placid water
There is composure with every free falling leaf
There is grace as birds are freed from their earthly bounds
There is contemplation in the consolation of rooted trees
There is stillness at the edge of obscure night skies
There is silence in the hushed standstill of winds
There is singular joy in every heart that knows
For this is nature’s harmony
In every moment of placid stillness
Speaking its ancient language of ‘forever’
Delicately promising a simple constancy
Sighing within each breath
Witnessing its beauty
Colors overtake me one by one,
as they fuse within my mind
To paint their ancient messages,
prismatic and sublime
The past is but enigma,
tomorrow still a dream
This moment’s image all that lasts
—in constancy redeemed
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)
C-onstancy of mind under duress
H-as shown a vivid view;
O-vercoming the adversity
D-oing all to sadden
Y-ou.
D-o have a constancy of mind,
E-xpress your trust faithfully;
L-oyal obedience and mild temper
O-bliterate the sin that you
S-ee.
S-tay firm and steadfast,
A-lways be brave and strong;
N-ever change for the worse
T-o be in heaven where you belong.
O-ctober nineteenth Thursday, volatile vision is far behind;
S-udden switch is kept from the constancy of mind.
Constancy of will is a power
Present where few may expect.
Men who won’t rear it reject
Dreams to blossom into a flower.
