A Journey

Like wanderer on a smoky road,
My soul was filled with doubt.
Loaded with complex emotions,
I 'searched' for my whereabouts...

    My soul was filled with doubt.
    Loaded with complex emotions,
    I 'searched' for my whereabouts...


    अरे दीवानों, मुझे पहचानों,कहाँ से आई ,मैं हूँ कौन
    मैं हूँ कौन,मैं हूँ कौन ,मैं हूँ कौन
    मैं हूँ 'Saru', मैं हूँ 'Saru', मैं हूँ ,मैं हूँ ,मैं हूँ 'Saru'.

    Nice search Saru.
    You are really "saru" only.
    Thanks for this beautiful philosphical expression.

    Heartily best wishes to you on Dipawali.

    when seasoned with pain"..

    Nice one once again Saru.

    Life does happen when life seems to be a broken ship after all tried and tested methods.

    Great! striving towards poetic perfection..

    Life in its sphere of discovery & perceptions,
    Life is a conscious force & special action,
    which enables to hold apart the relations,
    Nature seeks the harmony & offer best of luck..

    really encapsulates the emotions of a traveller. And travelling is one thing that i am insanely passionate about. they always say, its the journey that matters and should be enjoyed as much as the destination. in essence life is a journey and i try my best to enjoy it:) thanks for putting that into words:)
    Happy Deepawali n a prosperous new year:)
    take care

    you have said it all right ms.Saru..short but you have captured every thought..so true our journey in our lives includes having one step in a world full of uncertainties..we don't know where our steps on our life's journey will lead us..we have a lot of questions that's sometimes makes our lives complicated but the best part of it is..we are still blessed to have the "gift" of life and whatever uncertainties that lies ahead the best thing to do is move on and step forward to the fulfillment of our destiny ;)

    passing by with a smile :)

    Awesome Words... Its like many people are Lost in this world.. They go oon the life path where they dont ever want to go, and wont go on the life path which is meant for them, and The Creator has made that path... But atleast there are people who knows the path... This lines suits them perfectly...

Being Human

By
Under the roof of winter, Latches of my door open without making a sound. It's cold out there, Someone lost his ground. My soul shivers, Not that I'm cold. Someone from my land, Sleeps under the bridge while dreaming of gold. How can I... tuck myself in the quilt? When the winter storm is blowing, Hopes they have built. I have to get up, Do something... Before I start questioning who am I? And, they start saying...'Humanity dies.' Let's work out something, Take a resolution. Walk across all kinds of bridges, And, just be human... From centuries people are migrating for work or for better opportunities. But, not everyone has a smooth sailing...some live under miserable conditions. Most heart wrenching fact is nobody helps them, not even people from their own countries. I know, everybody is busy chasing the bigger purpose of life. But don't you think we should help people in need? Let's try to be better human being...

I Am Not Alone

By
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.

Rewind - September 2023

By
 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
