Now

 

You love someone, tell them now

That book you loved, talk about it now

That music you laughed and cried listening to, share about it now

The travel that rejuvenates you, go for it now

The hobby that brings a sparkle to your eyes, pursue it now

The coffee you have together, toast to it now

The little plays and chatter, be a part of it intently now

That fish curry and mangsher jhol reminded you of home, tell the one who cooked for you with love now

If you feel something about someone, something somewhere... express it now

Do it now

Laugh loudly

Love deeply

Hug tightly

Kiss passionately

Express vehemently

Share earnestly

Life is too transient

Moments are too short

Memories stay on

So, does the pain, the hurt and the loss. 

"I love you and you mean the world to me. "

Say this to the one who needs to hear it, now.

My Narrative Is Mine to Build

 

Ira drew this for her art class. A tree with roots of her imagination. Quite sums up what I feel these days. 

You are not in my shoes

You don't know my struggles

You are not in my space

You don't know my woes

My battles are my own

My shackles are mine to break

My thoughts are mine to temper

My narrative is mine to build

Some moments are difficult to comprehend

Some fears are difficult to rationalise

Some hopes are difficult to foresee

Some roads are difficult to navigate

I find solace in the quiet

I find rhythm in the solitude

I find answers as I look within

I find kindness as I let go

No puzzle, just a state of mind

No destination, just a journey to find

No judgement, just be kind

No story, just time left behind

What do you see?

 

     

When you see patterns in the clouds

When you see colour in the grey

When you see lifelines in the green leaves

When you see meaning in scrambled words

When you see stories on blank pages

When you see aspiration in day dreams

When you see sense in chaos

When you see hope in bleak moments

When you see perfection in the ordinary

When you see resilience in broken smiles

When you see memories in lonely eyes

When you see love in withered flowers

When you see life in the meandering paths

When you see beyond the obvious, you truly see.
