Sunset of her Life

As she walked towards the sunset of her life

her life reeled before her from the time

she had her senses in place, to comprehend

the finer nuances of life n' its mysteries

that regaled her initially n' then amused her

with it's reality that seemed less whimsical

n' more daunting as moments n' years passed by!

Her life that once seemed bright n' colorful

with the radiance of joy n' energy, exuberated

by the innocence of having been a child

followed by the enthusiasm of the youth

but as mid-life seeped in, it usurped em all

with the verve diminishing as the absurdity

of the real life finally seeped within her!

She realised the farceness of the world

she lived in n' the people who surrounded her

her mind, spirit n' soul after years of conflict

had now become ONE after sifting from life

the unreal, surreal, ethereal n' real;

with grace in her heart, she accepted em all, and

elegantly walked towards the sunset of her life!

A time to rend, a time to sew

She'd an unmatched zeal as was her pursuit

to learn the true n' real meaning of life

she embraced her quest n' set out in zest

but it did not take her long to realize

what the harshness in life had done to her heart

she was no longer a reflection of her true self

she loved company but felt alone in crowd

she wasn't lonely but she longed for a world

that was filled with peace, bliss n' love

she paused when she couldn't comprehend

the perils of life that consumed her whole

but she bounced back with her fiery spirit

piecing herself together to continue her transit

to seek what she sought, such intense was her will

as time flowed, she learnt more n' more

she never believed in the doctrines

n' always left it to the sands of time

to guide her through her journey of life

be it her fate, destiny or the winds of change

n' all the realities that she found strange

like a wise sojourner, she imbued the real

and felt exalted, liberated n' joyous

as she realized the meaning of life anew

that there is always "a time to rend and a time to sew"!

Reflections of My Soul

I lived all my life in pursuit of understanding

the true calling of the real ME

that would define the "I" in me

n' prepare myself for it's sojourn

at whichever point of life, I would discover it.

I used to think of this ~

as a journey within a journey

which had lessons to unlearn n' learn anew

a sojourn with it's own set of ~

trials n' tribulations, simplicity n' complexity,

temptation n' abstinence, a different world order

that would be my transcendence to my independence.

Interlude.

Today ~

a sudden transformation swayed thru' me

as I was enjoying the subtle pleasures

of a calm, breezy, dark, star n' moonlit sky

it began with a discerning feeling of

emptiness and nothingness within

as if layers of dust from the past

buried over time had been vacuumed

in one sweep motion by a gust of wind

n' I stood there experiencing a never before

felt sense of liberation from all around me

as I closed my eyes, I felt time pause

n' I saw a glowing light dawn within

to show me the crystal clear reflection

of my own pristine soul, even if for a moment
I saw it was free, spirited n' ‘twas untouched
floating in the mirth of sublime love in its realm
just like the way, I always felt it would be..!!

Intoxicated n' content with this new found peace in my life
after being thru' such blissful serene moments
intending to preserve this savoir-faire within me, forever
I already sense the evolution of a new ME...

FREE Spirit… that’s ME..!!

Enroute the journey of life...
She has been thru' path's that have ~
yanked her away from her fetish for freedom,
her zest for carefree life, her innocence,
binding her to forbidden rules relatively unknown,
wadin' her thru' stumbling blocks that ripped her apart,
enclosing her on, in boundless dreaded fear n' despair,
makin' her stay awake thru' dark nights cryin' silent tears,
havin' been thrown in perpetually void black holes,
that crushed n' shattered her while consuming her whole!!

But,

the deed was done only on her physical existence

for they were not aware of her real presence,

they thought they were seein' her fragmented, when

'twas she who was showin' em what she wanted em to see,

sheer mind games 'twas, till she was ready to bounce back,

n' face head on, the new barricaded set of attacks,

with renewed vigor n' strength within, to hold on,

all the while, waitin' for the time to be just right,

to unveil the real HER - her soul n' spirit with pride!!

She is an untouched FREE spirit n' soul ~

who has risen from her own ash-fill...

like a phoenix to soar new dimensional heights,

over every sea, ocean, mountain, chasm n' tide,

where over every predicament, it is HOPE that abides!!

Her pristine soul is radiant with true love ~

flowin' in abundance, replenishin' each time,

as need be, to sow seeds of peace, bliss n' harmony,

her spirit runs carefree thru' the prying winds, rain,

sunshine, sunset, twilight n' the starry moon lit sky,

who caress her, enliven her n' enthrall her FREE spirit,

liberating the shielded child-woman who yearned all along

to live in a world where innocence is conserved n' Life calls

...for this is the only world where she truly belongs!!

I know all of this of her is true

for that SHE is ME ~

I am the FREE spirit n' soul

who set the I, ME n' MYSELF within me FREE

to be ONE with the universe n' face my fate n' destiny

as such, that from now on I'll live every moment carefree...
