Blessed is this world

                                                             Courtesy

You feel for me, you cry for me

That I might not see tomorrow

That I might be forty and still be bedridden

That I might never be happy

But answer me, Mother,

When there is so much love and positivity

When I have friends who care not if I don’t have hair

When people keep me in their prayers, everyday

How can I complain?



– Vaishali

Into One World

 

Courtesy

Just a few steps from here to there

A little walk to the chain of defense

The iron wrinkle

The rusted snake

Lets step beyond the line

Into one world –

Mine and yours

With the others who belong

It’s enough dirt and gunpowder

It’s enough blood and sick power

It’s enough loss and caution

Enough lost bargains and foul traps

Lets step beyond the line

Into one world –

Mine and yours

With the others who belong

We’ll play together in your home

I’ll cook you a meal in my attic

Forget the past, lets stop the fights

Lets pray together, lets just smile

Lets step beyond the line

Into one world –

Mine and yours

With the others who belong

Silence - A wonder

 

Courtesy

Truth betrays trust

Yes, it sometimes does

Let your lips not move in grumbling

Let your mind not lose its cool

Let there be a guide

The empty chambers of Darkness

will give you warmth of wisdom

The stillness of your solitary conscience

Will help you break the prison

Let it help you look at peace

Shake hands with your self

Lose yourself, seek yourself

Silence soothes

Embrace it

Let it heal you with your own voice

– Vaishali
