@Home

By -
Tree of Prosperity

Search, swirl, dive with zero fear,
We collect twigs and grass,
Flying miles everyday, 
We return to the same path.

Every tiny bit of sweat,
Every cell of tired feet,
Sings a soft lullaby,
On glowing signs of our street.

Blessed under the roof,
With family sitting by our side,
In the warmth of our abode,
Our happiness strides.

Amidst the cacophony we roam.
But...
Settling, retiring, cherishing @home.

We all love our homes and we make an extra effort to decorate it. My friends Priti and Shashank from kwikdeko.com gifted me this beautiful wall sticker (picture above), which they prefer calling wall decals. It's easy to use, causes no damage to the walls and is priced quite reasonably. It  adds style, elegance and character to the room. I loved the one they gifted me but you can find variety of designs for each of your rooms on their website. Thanks Priti and Shashank!

    I have been travelling a lot lately, but no matter where you go in the world, nothing beats the feeling of coming back home.

    Flying miles everyday,
    We return to the same path.

    No matter where our legs take us, we are walking back the same path always! But again, home is home only when love is found, peace lives.

    On a different note, so many of your posts to read!

Rewind - September 2023

 I wrote the following in September. Sometimes, I feel I will forget the art of writing couplets because I am not writing at all this year. I strongly believe you have to practice to hone your craft. And I am not doing that. Perhaps I schedule a time to write a poem. Or I need better time management skills. Date Published 09/05/2023 मुझे उसके जाने का इतना अफ़सोस नहीं हुआ  जितना इस बात का कि इतने सालों तक उसे रहने ही क्यों दिया  Love, Saru

I Am Not Alone

Last year blessed me, He walked silently into my life. It was Love, That took me in its stride. One evening we walked holding hands, Then, I told him what I felt in heart. He said we were one soul, Who were living in parts. To bring the parts together, We fought with the world and tied the knot. Being one soul, Gave life a whole new spot. Chirping birds, floating clouds, Nature conspired for us. Always swimming against the tide, Life was in an adrenaline rush. This year cursed me, He walked silently out of my life. It was Death, That took him in its stride.       Yesterday his soul was saying, Fearing memories will fade, he can’t move on. He will stay and admire me, Standing always by my side from dusk to dawn.
