One Mississippi, Two Mississippi, Three Mississippi...Go!

By -
When something will move you
Very rarely it will
Striking a chord within you
Fire it'll instill
Just get up, act and don't be slow
One Mississippi, Two Mississippi, Three Mississippi...Go!

World can be a better place
Just a push from your side
Your single act of bravery
You swimming against tides
Shed the inhibitions and outgrow
One Mississippi, Two Mississippi, Three Mississippi...Go!

Why regret later?
1000 things for yourself, 1 for free
Rise above ordinary
Spread gamut of positive energy
Superman, Superwoman; be an actual Hero
One Mississippi, Two Mississippi, Three Mississippi...Go!

 Often we collect twigs and grass
Polish your deeds, separating golden from brass

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.
