Finding Equanimity

Equanimity is a sublime emotion for some, Neutral and aloof one may become.  But I see the warmth and glow that thrives, A state of being that everyone strives.  Equanimity gives a different sense of peace, Undisturbed and serene, unlocks life keys.  Often seen with patience for sure, There is no unwanted reaction or pressure.  Being driven by an inner calm, Mindfulness and balance allows no harm.  Surely equanimity is a life learning I see, In every direction, I strive till eternity.  Hoping for praises, quick to blame, Success or failure it's a tricky game.  Fame and pain see the same end, Attachment unfortunately has no mend.  Am I ready to find this equanimity in life, Thriving on deep emotion it's definitely a strife.  To have the same emotion towards everything that's living I hear, A long way to go for sure.  While emotions can be tricky I know, But having the same emotion for material show. Make memories of a life that is short, Who has seen tomorrow, today is all I

Coffee

Sipping coffee, sitting on my swing, It's the calm of a new day, my happy ring.  Many reports, contradict it's worth to health, But one cup for me is the greatest wealth.  Marching down memory lane with mom on a day Coffee in hand, makes it a perfect day. Every evening, with my husband has a deep tone, Of comfort and gratitude, with patience I hone.  Friends like family, check in now and then, Catch up over coffee is a perfect ten.  The forgotten conversations with an old friend, With the hope that time stands still, the cup must not end.  As a person that calms with the sea, Green nature is not my cup of tea.  But my roots have strong coffee vibes, Ingrained in the coffee plantation are my tribes.  The sight of the blossoms is a real treat, Lush green and white, it's a different beat.  Every plant has so much to share, Generations have reaped them with much care.  The rainfall, manure, price, labour is the daily buzz, Any other topic and there is no fuzz.  Social obligatio

I promise

Promises are many, hard to keep,  Often to be reminded, much too deep!  I promise to be a better version of myself every day, An effort for sure, but that’s what I pray.  I promise to see a point of view that is not my own, Learn something new and not be blown.  I promise to be true to my heart, Cherishing moments from the very start!  I promise to be able to speak my mind,  Rather than hoping others will be able to seek my worries and find. I promise to learn to be open and be inspired, While striving to inspire and be rightly admired. I promise to find it in my heart to forgive and forget,  Letting go may be a challenge, but I must let.  I promise to admit I may be wrong along the way, Make amends and learn before the end of the day.  I promise to not judge on your past or present choice,  Respecting them, inspite of the surrounding noise! I promise to see you as your own person, Not trying to mould you into my vision for certain.  I promise that life cannot be taken for granted I kn

Young at heart

Years of experience is what they say, Many stories in this lifetime from black to grey! Learnings are many that’s for sure, With patience and joy they share with cheer.  Every year of their life has shaped homes with care, Raising men and women with values, integrity and flare! A prayer of gratitude for every guidance we get, Inch by inch we are moulded as a perfect set.   Things may not be found, because it’s kept so safe,  Need not worry; it’s probably not worth the chafe.  With peace they hope to hear,  There may be a struggle, but sense love for sure.  The grey hair and the wrinkles of the skin, Not a pattern in everyone, some age like gin. The mind and body has much might in some,  An inspiration to many, for generations to come.  The mind sometimes might forget a name, But every effort for sharpened skills in Sudoku or any number game.  Emotion and a soft heart can be a worry, Sometimes confuses, what might offend in a hurry.  The pace has slowed but the heart keeps speed, The mi

Shadow along

Every day we learn something new We cherish and believe it all to be true.  We have learnt to live with hope and cheer, To be able to view life happily without fear! As time goes by, looking back as it was, It’s time to reflect with gratitude and a pause! We have laughed and cried, There will always be memories that can’t be denied. It's been a mixed bag but we will ride, With hope and love we will cross this tide. We had time to introspect and heal, Connected and shared that's how we feel. We cheered milestones in joy,  We learnt lessons in every ploy. We have faults and mistakes, A little change is all it takes. We cared enough to cry,  We feared enough to protect and try.  We believe in life, reality and hope,                                          We know tomorrow is our real scope.  We cherish this life with us, That gave us the strength to see the plus. Wishing you love, cheer and the best, With loved ones through any test. We have aspirations, but we dote on contentmen

Who am I?

Blessings, flowers, tradition and fun, Say cheers, come on everyone, A bond to cheer and treasure for life, Hurrah, Hurrah, it's time to be man & wife! The traditional arranged or the challenged love marriage can be, Both are tricky with much to learn and see.  The big celebration, the wedding day feels like a dream,  But living together, with both strengths and faults is a different scheme.  There is beauty, love and charm, This companionship can be your calm, Trust, love, joy and dependability, Be each other’s pillar till infinity, It's definitely not a bed of roses, Neither is it just romantic holidays and poses.  The challenge is real and so is the heartbreak, The compromise and adjustment has much in stake.  The balance is an adventure of its own, Extended families and relatives, it's a confusing zone.  But every equation won over with love and care, Will reward a lifetime of emotional wealth, forever rare.  Some fights may keep each other apart, And wonder who sho

Beyond the celebration - marriage

The celebrity awe

First day first show is all we hear, The excitement and thrill is loud and clear.  The television, newspapers, internet, all scream the same, Everyone is chanting the same film name.  Is it the cast or the storyline that made the  news, Language can be any, sub titles are the cues.  The film thrives or flops, hard to say, But the celebrity is now an icon to stay.  Walking the streets, much to be done, Often there is a celebrity spotted in the sun.  Some make it more dramatic than others for sure, The guards and trailing contingent is a spectacle here.  The cameras click rapidly in all the chaos here, The crowd is eagerly pushing their might with cheer.  A small glimpse, or that selfie memory they hope, With that celebrity in awe they cope.  Their homes are a spot to tour in awe, Their lives no longer have the privacy law. All that spotlight and invasion might feel unsettling to most, A helpless cry, a platter hard to boast.  The gossip columns in the newspapers track them close, The so

The city vibe

The Colour Palette  The torrid rains, washing away the dust, Gather shade, everyone must.  A suddenly hot sunny day has changed now, Feels like a different season somehow.  Blue skies turned gray, The green trees with mighty winds sway.  Water flooding on the roads we see, Traffic is mayhem, the road to home feels like eternity.  The rains have cleared but the canvas has changed now, A stunning rainbow, it's a painting worth a wow.  Every color radiates with hope, Take your pick, colors are many in this rope.  A vivid blue purple, the deep violet they say, Wisteria blooms or Orchids, grab your glamour today.  Spiritual and creative will be your tool of choice, Empathetic and thoughtful is all in this poise.  Visualise the indigo night sky glittering with your chosen stars, Or sink into the juicy blueberry and transport with healthy powers.  The brush with tranquillity and mystery surrounds this hue, Dreams can be many and they do come true.  Is it the blue of the skies that lure, O
