Heat

 As the misty wispy blues of desolate gloom lifts

And the rays of golden hues peep in

Sudden lightness in my being 

Heavy load just lifted off my weary back


Days, nights, weeks and months have passed

Just breathing   existing,  nothing mattered

Now I know it wasn't all in vain

What could've broken me, just couldn't 


There's a raging storm inside 

Now about to unleash its fury

Letting fly what should out of the way

For a fresh new beginning of pure joyous creation

Be

While you inhale 

Sweet, sweet breath of life

Pause, say a silent thanks

For this gift of the moment 

Life, itself 


Take a moment to appreciate 

All that we take for granted 

The tiny moments 

Everything we ought to be grateful about 

And all that nearly broke us, but couldn't 


Live. Love. Laugh

While you still can.

Tech it. Or leave it.

 

Now in an AI powered Era, I'm feeling dumber than ever before. 


In an earlier age, all I had to do was collaborate with fellow artists and compete to win. That was easy.  Now the scenario has changed.  Like everything else in life. Now, no more creative thinking. 


No more old fashioned thinking.  Waiting.  Doodling.  Roaming around. Reading. Writing. Imagining  Day dreaming. 


I'm leaving all of it to tech. Hopefully, it will save enough time for me to do all of the above.

And poetry slipped away

 Quietly,  gently,  in silence 

In stillness,  slowly slipped away 

Into obscurity or a wakeful new dream 


And poetry slipped away

Leaving behind empty sheets

And blank stares into to ceiling and beyond 


And poetry slipped away 

Leaving behind worlds unspoken 

Shattered shards of unfulfilled dreams 


And poetry slipped away

Be

 Sometimes all you need to do is breathe

Inhale all sweetness in the air

Sometimes all you need to do is dream

With eyes shut tight to all that's wrong 


Sometimes all you've got to do is be

Drown out all.noise with the peace that's within 

Sometimes all you've got to do is walk

Away from worries, problems and all that's not needed


Sometimes all you've got to is love 

So much that is just flows over

And above all that's gone

Washing, cleansing, wiping away


All that was never meant to be
