Time doesn’t stop, 
for anyone,
or anything!

then, what’s the point in putting your dreams on hold? 

because, time will run out on you eventually.
if you don’t live for yourself today,
are you sure that you can, tomorrow?

is there any guarantee there will even be a tomorrow laid out for you to live?

don’t let the dreams simmer inside you
let it boil and bubble up
let it bring you elation

you cannot pause the time, not even for a second

you can but try to freeze the time
by living this moment on your terms
time doesn’t stop for anyone or anything

but, I promise, if you live today to make your dreams come true

you will have cherished moments swirling inside you for years to come
all you need is to stop waiting and
start living your life on your terms

because,

time doesn’t stop, 
for anyone,
or anything!

Journey #ThursdayTreeLove

photo, poem, poetry, ThursdayTreeLove

Near Salt Lake River, Mesa, AZ

my path ahead
is filled with lifeless trees
staring into oblivion.

i move forward
not knowing where i end up eventually.
the skeletons of the trees
— are they guiding me somewhere?
or steering me to something dreadful?
do they represent
the nightmares i try to run away from
or the spring of hope that could appear in the distant future?

my journey continues, despite
the eluding answers

for now, i will find contentment
in pursuing this journey that leads to nowhere.

Joining Parul’s #ThursdayTreeLove with this tree shot from Salt Lake River in Mesa, Arizona. We hiked this area in the last weekend of February –and it was a wonderful experience. Some trees resembled the ghosts of their past. What stories are they hiding? I wonder. The above verses are a figment of my imagination. I hope you enjoy this read.

Gleeful Trees #ThursdayTreeLove

Kiwanis Park in Tempe, AZ

canopies of leaves
reaching out to share a touch,
maybe, share a story,
filtering light through,
offering shade,
ushering life


As much as this picture jolted me to jot down a couple of verses, my lines couldn’t do justice to the picturesque view that sprinkled a sense of serenity in me. This park we visited last month was such a treat for the soul.

Joining Parul’s Thursday Tree Love a week and a day late.

The path ahead #FictionMonday

#FictionMonday, life, life lessons, Photo Prompt, poem, poetry, Prompt

the way ahead was covered in darkness
I’m certain I was lost
there was no light
no hand reached out to guide me 
no quotes shined in my mind’s eye
nothing but plain darkness engulfed where I am rooted!

Photo by Kaique Rocha on Pexels.com

a little later, I saw shadows
it made me jump
the unexpected movement
but, if shadows appear there has to be light
a slight tinge of light, perhaps, 
a tiny ray spilled from some distant source of light
without knowing that it is actually swaddling me in a blanket of hope,
this blanket of hope might appear so feeble, 
but in a moment so fragile and dark, this frail coat of hope grew my courage 
and I held on,
without giving up
and intact stood my frail hope

then appeared the lush green 
the shadows disappeared in to greenery all around me
the gentle breeze played with the plants, 
leaves softly fell whispering greetings to me
the frail hope now blown into a stream of calm

the scary darkness bloomed into a ripple of peace
and disintegrated my nightmare 
letting a new dream emerge!

sprinkling smiles on faces

the allure of blooms
dousing hearts with joy

the vibrancy of the nature

photo, poem, poetry, ThursdayTreeLove, tree, Wordless Wednesday

“But in the end one needs more courage to live than to kill himself.”
― Albert Camus

the world is the oasis
to grow or wither
for a seed, a sapling, or a tree

today, I’m a lucky survivor
tomorrow, cast a shade for some, perhaps!

Hello, said a piece of memory I ignored.
It flashed again,
and again,
until I was burned
inside out.
Hello, said a piece of memory I wished to ignore!

What mystery my mind holds! 
Yet another piece of submission rejected 
And here my mind is coming up with another piece to submit!
Sometimes I feel, my mind thrives in rejection
What a mystery this mind is!

New Beginning #WordlessWednesday 98

fall, New Year, night, photo, poem, poetry, ThursdayTreeLove, Wordless Wednesday

every autumn leaf leaves behind a tale that began on a spring morning,
every spring bloom graces the garden aware of the impending fall in autumn.
at the end of the dusk,
there awaits a beautiful dawn.
Another year is on our doorstep,
365 days it will roll out, before fading into the background.

Could You, Human? #WordlessWednesday 97

photo, poem, poetry, ThursdayTreeLove, Wordless Wednesday

You being here had been always my pleasure
from once upon a time when you first arrived
to now, when your presence overpower the world
I relish your presence
all I ask is to be kind and compassionate to us,
the other life forms, who can’t communicate through words.
Enjoy my shade,
adore those butterflies befriending the new blossoms
leave behind a trace of yours
without disturbing the laws of the universe,
could you, human?
