There you were
Feeling the cold breeze of December 29th
Against your face,
Waking up the memories of 2016…
You peeked back, sliding cautiously,
Through your mind…
As your feet did the same on the icy patches of the road
Another year gone…
So many changes
Affecting so many lives
The world didn’t stop…
You stopped looking back…
You looked at the sky
And inhaled the cold wind of December 29th
Rejoicing this singular moment you felt alive.

I travel on the breeze,
of the gentle dawn,
unwinding my thoughts,
in the warmth of the sun-rays,
touching my heart.

Paint your dreams on the sky
with gentle strokes of the breeze
that caress your mind…
let your thoughts splatter,
in wild strokes of unrestrained emotions,
Open like the blue vastness above you,
let your heart fold around the curvature of the earth,
spread your love …
Paint your dreams on the sky.

They said life was complicated
Complicated to decipher between what was real and what laid in your mind
Mind that was this unique organ where you could fast forward or rewind
Rewind thoughts of the heart
Heart that laid distracted chasing musings
Musings that floated on the simple breeze
Breeze that you felt with the first and last light of the sun
Sun that peeked through the grey clouds of earth
Earth that rotated and revolved, a small planet of the huge universe
Universe that humbled you back to appreciating the simplicity of humanity

We don’t need a special day to be kind, but kindness is always special. Be kind to your heart, be kind to your mind, and be kind to the world around you…Happy World Kindness Day!

That day…
The world forgot to be kind,
and you forgot to be patient,
and in between figuring out who you were,
and where you came from,
and why you were here,
the clouds of life,
poured on you,
and your heart cried with the rain…
but,
when it was over,
and though the world did not change,
you felt lighter and soul felt cleansed,
and you noticed the smiles among the frowns,
and drenched in what was your pain,
you found that little piece of joy again,
you followed the rainbow of life.

That night…
we spoke to our dreams,
lost in the reckless storm,
out in the sea…
we rose with the tides,
high and free,
That night…
That night,
we flew on the winds,
forgetting the ‘hows’ and ‘whys’
drenched under the wild skies,
we let go of our sins,
That night…
That night
we opened our souls,
to drown in love.
