7 Reasons to be Happy when it Rains.

1. Being a witness to natures abundance. 

2. Getting to drive through lots of puddles. 

3. Not having to mow the lawn. 

4. Seeing waterfalls where you never imagined to see waterfalls. 

5. Having an excuse to not do a lot. 

6. Having an excuse to eat continually. (all be it a very flimsy one.)

7. We get to witness nature playing to a different tune, a watery song that has us swoon. 

God's Graces.

Please let my love,

be a love that embraces. 

Please let my love,

love all that it faces. 

Please let my heart,

see it all, as God's graces.  

My Love.

Please let my life be shaped,

not by a fear of my love being rejected. But by a fear of dying,

having not expressed it. 

(I wrote this after a conversation with my Mum, who was expressing to me her regret at having not spent more time forming friendships. And less time cleaning the bathroom.)

It's Not a Race.

Don't sneak or creep, 

prance or shuffle.

Don't tiptoe, through life. 

Stride with purpose, 

walk with confidence, 

dance with joy, 

skip with laughter, 

trek around obstacles 

and bow with gratitude. 

Be diligent with your prep,

be brave with every step. 

Be patient and travel,

at a steady pace. 

Life is a journey,

ilife's not a race.

Lord Shiva

A halo of gold surrounds you,

as you sit silently, in your abode. 

Nothing comes close,

to the strength you invoke,

as you sit silently there on your own. 

Words can't touch the power,

that emanates from your being. 

No picture could capture the entirety, 

of that force, 

that's far beyond our seeing. 

Only a sound comes close to describing,

the silent fury, that lies dormant within. 

Only a sound could capture the beauty, 

that set this whole universe into a spin. 

 

It's the sound of your drum, 

that is beating

and it's beating in time with our hearts. 

It's vibration bought about this existence

and this vibration, holds nothing apart. 

Lord Shiva my words can't describe you,

they can't describe, 

what I'm feeling inside. 

Please awaken this Shakti within me,

so that I might experience more,

of your light. 

Radical Change.

Why do we have these feelings of destruction? 

For our planet, 

for ourselves, 

for the trees

and for our health. 

Why do we harbour these feelings of destruction, 

for the very things, 

that are our only wealth?

Is it because we're greedy and shortsighted and in humane?

Are we misguided and ignorant

or are we just completely insane?

Why would we destroy the very things, that maintain us, 

that feed us and relieve us, 

that grow us and help. 

Nothing is permanent in this transient world.  

Every moment holds the possibility, 

for radical change. 

Just a thought can save lives

and help the planet revive. 

What thought could we have,

that would help us to grow 

and to change?

What thought could we have, 

that could promote a radical exchange?

An exchange of old values,

for some that are selfless and true. 

An exchange of old values,

for some that are well overdue. 

Let's not leave it too late,

to reverse our behavior. 

Let's choose health for our bodies

and health for our minds. 

Let's choose health for our nature

and one that embraces mankind. 

Longer Than a Glance.

I could love you in an instant, 

if luck were to grant me just one chance. 

A chance to hold you in my arms, 

for longer than a glance. 

You've such a sweet and fragile beauty

and it dances in your eyes. 

It also dances in my heart

and has it expanding for the skies. 

I could love you in an instant, 

if luck were to grant me just one chance. 

A chance to hold you in my arms, 

for longer than just a glance.

A Love so True.

If it all seems too good,

it's all because of you. 

If it all looks too good,

it's all because of you. 

If I'm overflowing with so much contentment

and a deep unbridled love for you. 

It's only because your love's so true. 

It's your deep devotion, 

that let's my love shine through. 

No End.

It was when I glanced into your eyes,

that I felt, you could answer all my why's. 

It was those mesmerizing eyes,

that had me asking, "Who am I?"

When I look back and remember when,

I first became your friend. 

It feels like another life,

that played out in another time. 

When I look back,

and remember then. 

You've given such grace,

to this humble life, 

and blessed me again and again. 

You've been so much more,

than just a friend. 

You're a love that has no end.
