"....have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

Birdy



At the edge
Eagerly, she waited
To flap out her wings
To fly over the mountain ledge

 
On a broken window sill
Listening, she sat
To the sounds of worthy prey
To swoop down on her kill

Over the tree tops
Elegantly, she flew
To where the winds took her
To move on till her heart stops

On a brambled bush
Momentarily, she perched
To feel the cool breeze
To lift up with a l’il jerky push

Deep in the woods
Her soulmate, she found
To love she surrendered
To rise high above earthly goods

Inside the nest
Together, they built
To hold on to one another
To dream of the very best

Come spring
The flowers bloom
She cuddles her babies
Beneath her feathered wing

The time has come
They are ready to fly
She heaves a heavy sigh
Knowing she has to let go of some

It’s a beautiful scene
As they embrace
Eager to fly out
It’s a wonder
What such love could mean

And now she waits
Looking out into the deep blue sky
To start life anew
Even though she had to part with a few!

Deep Within


For the life that beckons
Far beyond I reckon

A single beautiful thought
Changes everything
Not a penny here
Or one there
With which it can be bought!

There’s a single beautiful mind
It’s always been there
For you to look inside to find
Instead of everywhere
For every wish to come true
Believe in the magic
That you brew!

A single beautiful song
Helps you connect the pieces
Might have taken long
Without leaving behind any traces
Your own way you pave
Through every obstacle grave
Like a rock
That made you stumble
At every block
You moved on more humble
You pick it up and hold on tight
Till you see your way forward light!

A single beautiful feeling
Renders life a new meaning
“I can” or “I cannot” say you might
In the end you shall realise
That you were always right
For want of a belief
You’ve got to turn over a new leaf
For want of a goal
You’ve got to look within your own soul
For want of a wish
You’ve always had the power within you to unleash!

For want of your dreams
Live life with gratitude
For then there will be nothing
That you cannot achieve
No matter what the magnitgude!

Faith


Imagination creates reality
Feelings build life
Belief gives life to life
But faith can move mountains!

Happiness begets happiness
Love given returns back multiplied
Joy radiates abundance
But faith can move the universe!

Gratitude is everything
‘Thank you’ is magical
Feeling good is beautiful
But faith is magnificent!

Strength ushers you forward
Goals help you visualize
Destination drives you
But faith makes you achieve!

Friendship lasts forever
Family sticks to you
Prayer inspires you
But faith always exists!

Stumbling now and then
Teaches you life’s biggest lessons
Realizations come from failure
But faith never knows how to fail!

Focus attracts right thinking
Passion fires you up
Dedication brings confidence
But it’s FAITH and FAITH alone that makes all the difference!!
