God is an artist

God is many things
Among those, an artist
The sky, his blank canvas
Sprinkled with hue of varying intensities
The sun 
A golden fiery orb 
Emitting light for all to see
To me, it's pure symbolism of
What Jesus is
And what we should strive to be
To be the light of the world
Not being consumed by the darkness
Of the worldly ones 
I fail, and I stumble
Trying to keep up with society's ideals
Wear this, say that, do this 
It's a controversial thought, but
Let's live how God intended 
Spreading love!!
The moon the sun's faithful partner
The silver glow of the moon 
casts a soft, ethereal light
 over the landscape, 
creating a tranquil ambience
 that invites reflection and peace.
To me, the moon symbolises 
Finding beauty in the darkest of times
Not the vague superficial type of beauty
Only looking at looks for looking sake
None not in any way
But to look upon the beauty of souls
Of hearts and of the mind
Truly I believe
God is an artist

The world of contrast

The Dragon roars, all equal under heaven.
While the Guisi is crippled and Houzi is repraimned.
                                                                                               ~Byeol

Dragon: here symbolises Emperor 
Guisi: slave 
Hauzi: son of noble

Winter unexpected twist

I gazed upon the winter sky,
Expecting snowflakes to gently lie
Upon my palm, a delicate dance.
But Instead, Mount Fuji ash takes it chance.
                                                                                   ~Byeol

__________________________________________________________________________________________
Explanation: this poem is about human expectations, the opening line "I gazed upon winter sky/ expecting snowflakes to gently lie on my palm" reveal our human expectations and assumptions about how things should unfold.
We humans tend to make assumptions based on past experience and general trends.
When instead of snowflakes Mount Fuji ash fell it symbolises that life is full of suprises and it have unpredictable nature.

The princess

I the heaven's daughter, 
Reign upon the golden land.
Heaven's and earth enter my sleeves,
How could a phoenix envy a sparrow?
                                                                 ~Byeol

----------------------------------------------------------
Heaven daughter: princess 
Heaven and earth enter my sleeves: own everything in the world 
Phoenix: symbolises empress or princess
Sparrow: here symbolises a worthless person or less important

The coupe

Biting back at dragon's scale,
I run through the weapons crossing like chaotic clouds flying past.
The mighty sword rise in air, 
Only to drown in sin so deep.
My hands stained with blood so red,
Root betrayed.
Blood of kin,
A price I have paid.
Heaven's cry, in torrent rage.
                                                        ~Byeol


---------------------------------------------------------------------
Biting back at dragon scale: symbolises act of going against the emperor 
Root betrayed: betraying your own family

Fire

It is always equated to hollow and negative emotions.
Sometimes it symbolises winning and a valid vision.
Fire is what I feel inside when I think of my motherland.
It is a feeling of pride to me whenever I take a right stand.
It is the warmth of satisfaction after a busy and hectic day.
Fire is the joy we feel when things work our way.

Cave canem

the steady light of a white votive candle 	
reflected and amplified in highly polished brass
symbolises devotion	

talents never to be hidden under a bushel
but the secular world isn’t privy to magnitude	
of the delinquency some are at great lengths to hide 

very tendentious opinions defended 
though harsh magnifying glass of consequence	
held up to each and every regrettable past act
beware of the dogs

countenance in commiseration with the terror
that was struck in the quaking hearts by Black Shuck
sequenced scorch marks from its claws in evidence 
when the church door was struck open by thunder

in fear we repent our moral lapses and expiate our folly in tears

Who am I ?

Why am I always confused even if everything seems to be fine.    
Even if I give it my best in everything,in all situations at any time. 

I may always have a different definition of what is correct and right.
That is the reason a conversation ends up to be a fight.

For me my kids seem to be living on a different planet.                                                      
And so I have to always put them through a audit 

The biological clock is in total conflict with the career clock always.
I seem to climb ladders in my career when my toddler needs praise.

There may be no logical explanation or clarification to this query 
As i am a woman who symbolises power, strength and I am no less than a fairy.

All About My Name

Flattered... my name meaning a Princess of ancient times, 
In the state of Malawa, where temple-bells rang chimes,
Bard, Kalidasa, composed in Sanskrit an epic great
About a Princess and her story of disguise and fate. 

Agnimitra, handsome Prince, enamoured by her beauty, 
But he was not aware of her true identity!
Thrilled to imagine myself heroine of such a story,
romance, and intrigue - part of a history and glory! 

To some, my name symbolises a purple flower, 
Which never fails to charm viewers’ hearts, in its bower. 
To some others, it represents a graceful supple plant,
My mother thought I was a blessing which her God did grant! 

My father exclaimed - she is the “garland” for me, 
My daughter, my ultimate joy, a sublime beauty! 
Many years they waited eagerly to embrace a girl, 
My parents thought - they were gifted a gem purer than pearl.

Kookaburra

This feathered comedian 
sits perched on a suburban fence
scanning for what crawls the ground
or pokes a careless head up to break
the surface of a backyard pond,
stropps its beak to clean off
the leftovers from its last kill,
lifts its head and laughs.

But there is no frivolity trumpeting 
from its throat, only a triumphant 
boast, a warning to all held
in the cross hairs of its sight
that it owns this acre.
A rush of blood lifts a sudden
flare of wings and powers
a plunging terror towards
the unwary.

Then, bloated,
it squats on a high branch
with its blunt head motionless,
eyes locked in a meditative stare.
It cares little for the honour it has
in the hierarchy of native species,
or that its laugh is almost elevated
to the status of the National prayer.


Note.
The Kookaburra is a bird belonging
to the Kingfisher family and is endemic
to Australia, particularly the east coast.
It is celebrated for its distinctive 
laughing call. In a way the Kookaburra
symbolises the irreverent side to
the National character.

Bluebells In Springtime

Emily Bronte makes her mark
speaking of the sweet bluebell
in its power shows its blossom
one can't help but go and tell

Springtime in the UK brings them out
the bluebell has a lovely scent
which hangs in the air so heavily
from bell-shaped flowers heavenly sent

The bluebell symbolises something great
humility, gratitude, constancy and everlasting love
this was loved by the Victorians so much
to them it was a language never enough

Folklore showed about bluebell woods
fairies there we're told would ring
so the fairies would be gathered
whether believing this what would it bring

In the UK there's over half that's in the world
recently the bluebell voted UK's favourite wildflower
so colourful with a lovely shade of blue
feeding on the moisture receives in the morning hour

( have written this piece about the lovely Bluebell that blooms in spring here in the UK.)

A Thought In a Box

Christmas symbolises a time of giving
It's a time for sharing
Its the season of goodwill and cheer
It means something awesome is in the air

Christmas is about caring
Giving others a sense of belonging
Bringing joy to someone else ear
Christmas is about recognising that Jesus is preparing

That he is the true King and Heir
Christmas is about showing 
That sharing is not just a calling
But Jesus saying humanity still cares.

Winter

Winter is my favourite time of the year
Its a season of giving
A time for sharing
A moment for caring
Winter symbolises the end of the year
A time for rekindling
A time for reflecting
There is something breath taking about the Winter air.
The wind keeps whistling
The snow keeps falling
Everyone is in good cheer.
Children are anxiously awaiting
Santa is nervously preparing
Laughter can be heard everywhere.
Churches are celebrating
Mother is baking
Father is watching
Christmas is in the air.

Tiranga

Tiranga (Tricolour)

First unfurled, was the Indian tricolor; 
on Everest, the world's highest peak.
All the three colours are deliberated 
to give some message and speak.

Dark saffron, white and Indian green,
the three colours of Indian national flag;
all in horizontal rectangular bars,
top to bottom, respectively placed.

Green band at bottom tells Indians,
grow with greenery and agriculture; 
White band in middle of it, gives us
message of peace, truth and culture.

Saffron says, be brave and courageous,
don't hesitate to sacrifice if nation needs; 
Wheel of twenty four spokes at centre tells, 
on the path of progress always proceed.

Made of hand spun Indian cloth, Khadi,
at one hand symbolises pride of nation; 
Design and colour on the other, say symbolically 
what ought to do the great Indians.

On every Independence and republic days
Tiranga is unfurled widely in the country.
That reminds the people; be nice, graceful, 
peaceful, prosper and keep in mind your duty.
