I care, I search in the depths of my heart,
A higher power that will guide me in every start.
God the loving Father, the nourisher of life,
Helps me tide over and conquer every strife.
I search for love’s golden thread connecting one and all,
Uniting nations and people as a single whole.
I search for God’s benevolence and beauty everywhere.
Wish to astound people by showing that I do care.
I search for the light of wisdom’s warm embrace,
So that from my life, darkness I can displace.
With wisdom as an abiding and bosom friend,
I know, the journey through life is easier to mend.
I search for a fresh dawn and a beauteous setting sun,
And peaceful sleep when my task for the day is done.

You have forgotten who I am
You, who held my hand
And led me to the waters of the world
When I was but a girl
You did not teach me how to swim
You, who knew me then
And when the rising tide over swept me
I was lost at sea
You did not show me how to fly
You, who watched me try
And like a butterfly with broken wing
I failed at such a thing
I did not learn of love from you
You, what could I do
And so I drift, in static overload
A stem without a rose
You do not know what I’ve become
You, what have you done
And now, you do not want to know me now
Nor I you, anyhow

When I hurt my finger, cried out in pain,
We were chopping wood taking it in turns,
father said “ Old saying - no pain, no gain!”
“Think of warmth, this wood will bring when it burns!”
Advancing winter freezes as it churns!
He twirled his moustache to make an impact,
Despite age his spirit was still intact,
Lessons he gave me that day stayed for life,
To tide over the fate waves, in my craft ,
“Not to fear pain, never yield to a knife!“

Out of Ink dreams are achieved,
visions fulfilled,
knowledge instilled,
and ignorance distilled!
Out of Ink words tide over,
silent thoughts are evinced and our hands can touch them.
Out of Ink a skillful writer strikes a chord with the reader,
and so the reader becomes a runner,
leaping over the mountaintops as fast as fire burns dry grass.

Hope:
Hold me through out,
Pamper me always ,
Rely me in odds,
Nourish me till tide turns.
Life:
I am here, not there,
Not in future,not in past,
But at the moment,
,
Live me ,
Don't define me,
Dissolve into hope,
Sailing turbulance,
Tide over it,
Scaling heights.....That is me.
God:
I am horizon,
Don't hold me on your arms,
Embrace me,while showering flowers,
Dont scold me ,while throwing stones.
