BOOK OF LIFE

You are the author of your own book

Writing chapters of your life in a cozy little nook;

Your book of life should be your best-selling work

Never should you shy away from it and shirk;

 

The past chapters can’t be undone

For you to write, new chapters are a tonne;

Just remember to learn from your past writings

Imbibe from previous teachings and script history with love and lighting;

 

At the end of the day,

be proud to display your book at the book shelf;

Make sure it’s the one you keep reaching for,

to satisfy your soul and self ;

 

Bookmark the chapters you want to relive again 

Skip the chapters which bring you pain;

There’s only wisdom for you to gain

Just remember, there’s sunshine waiting after rain;

 

Someday, you’ll leave your book behind,

for the world to read

Maybe, it can act as a guiding light,

for someone in need. 

STRUGGLES

Everyone faces their own struggles

Life is not that easy to juggle;

You have to strike the perfect balance

Take it easy with a hint of nonchalance;

Easier said than done,I know

So,instead of hiding

why don’t you give your dreams a go?

LEADERS

Leaders not only lead from the front

But make sure nobody stays behind

They are someone who are courageous,determined and kind;

In the face of adversities ,they stand tall

In the need of help,they are just away a call;

Making sure the world’s a better place

But still ensuring, everyone works at their own pace;

We are all leaders in the true sense

Just have to view the world from a different lens.

STARING INTO NOTHINGNESS

Staring into nothingness

Having this feeling of emptiness;

I wonder how to overcome my sluggishness

And have some productiveness;

What if it’s some illness?

Actually,it’s just my stubbornness;

Acting as my weakness

Alright,all I need to overcome this is with my wholeheartedness.

 

ROW YOUR BOAT

You row your boat till you see the shore

It looks deceptively near,

But trust me you have to paddle more;

Panting,stressing you make it there

Thanking the Lord with a silent player.

All this has left your heart and soul a little bare

Looking for someone who will care;

From dusk to dawn, you are waiting for someone to arrive

Your time here is passing in strife.


Having realized that there’s no one who is going to come

You decide to take the big jump;

Taking the remains of your battered boat

You try to make something which stays afloat;

Embarking on a journey with a promise of no tomorrow

I know your mind is tensed and heart full of sorrow.

Somehow going forward with all your might

You suddenly spot a spark of light;

Waving signals,shouting and some more panting

Finally,on a boat and resting.


The past few days seemed all a blur

Nights going sleepless,hearing strange noises and murmurs;

Taking you a while to recover from what was your dream journey

Thanking people who saved you and gave you another day bright and sunny.

Remember the lessons which you’ve received

Life is not all what you perceived;

It can sometimes get upside down

But with good people around,

You’ll surely be able to make a touch down.

ROOTS

Fame and success is all you want in your prime

Even if you have to double your grind;

Now, that you are living your dream

Don’t you dare forget your roots

Who developed your charming attributes.
