The Fiery Fall
Flow, flow, I say!
Let the water rush!
Let it gush!
Rage away!
Trash the harsh stones.
Shape them like they are your own.
Surge though the crevasses.
Nudge the passes.
Purge the furrow.
Run like there is no tomorrow.
Today is your day.
Leave the fears at bay.
Leap over the horizon.
Like a soul reborn.
The Flutter
I’ve reached 400 follows today! Thank you for your support and encouragement!
You have been graciously visiting, revisiting, interacting & making my blog every bit as lively as can be 🙂
Thank you for your appreciation. It keeps me motivated 🙂
The Flutter was one of my first in my series of digital art. I’ve come a long way since.
As always, I pray that I am able to translate all that is in my head visually & that my art evolves with time.

The Sunshine Award
This afternoon, I had a surprise waiting in my notifications.
I was nominated by thehutownerblog (https://thehutownerblog.wordpress.com/) for The Sunshine Award.
The Sunshine Award is essentially a virtual ‘pat on the back’ for a positive or creative blog that inspires others or brings ‘sunshine’ to their world. Typically it appears to originate from one post that really ‘shines’ on that person’s day.
thehutownerblog (https://thehutownerblog.wordpress.com/) is as diverse as it can get! It contains wonderfully & thoughtfully created posts ranging from poetry to art to travel to philosophy.He really made my day. I could not contain my excitement. Being my first ever award nomination, I could feel my nervousness clawing on me, but, in a good way.
Do visit his blog and engage yourself inside his hut.
THANK YOU thehutownerblog (https://thehutownerblog.wordpress.com/) for this nomination!!!
Rules For the Nomination:
My answer to the questions from thehutownerblog
It sure does help as it keeps you motivated. The sense of achievement is profound, especially, for new entrants like me. Boy, what a feeling it is to know that what you write, what you create, is appreciated and loved by many. For some it is an inspiration, probably a cue o a new start, for a few others a jingle of memories. To realize that you were the centre of it all, the feeling is priceless, simply priceless.
An award is a gesture of recognition. Only if we embrace it for what it is, give it the respect and attention it deserves, will we feel & find its true value. It is a great way to bring the blogging fraternity together.
Nope. I do not think there should be any room for feelings while judging a blog for a nomination. It needs to be fair & square. The feelings will only dilute the cause of the award. My appeal to the fellow bloggers is not to take this to heart. Keep up with your awesome work. You are heard. Believe in your content. You will get your due in time.
Do what you do best. Believe in your content. Keep up the awesomeness. Also, on the technical front, remember to tag & categorize the posts so that it is easy to look you up. You will be heard & given your due when the universe decides you are ready.
My posts are a window to my soul, my thoughts and my feelings. I took to blogging as an escape into the virtual world. Art has always had a very special place in my heart. It is the address I look up to find my calm. In this journey I revived my love for poetry. I am happy with my posts as these have helped me in my journey of self-discovery

The Water Maiden
Somewhere,
In the depth of the night,
When the stars were at sight,
When the moon shone bright,
And fought with darkness with all her might!
When the ocean was no more a fright,
When the waves caressed the shore,
ready to be his bride.
When nature sang her lullaby,
There arose a maiden,
slow & steady yet elegantly.
Her garb was like white fire,
flickering gently in tune with the breeze.
Her hair shone like a thousand suns.
She gild over the ocean graciously,
twisting and turning effortlessly,
to nature’s melody,
forming bright lit waves exquisitely.
All stood still in awe of her beauty
A true vision she was, in all clarity
She is unseen by many
Granting audience is a rarity
But she is a part of nature you see
Connect with nature
And she’ll make you privy
Let The Day Begin
“Write it on your heart
that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day
who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.
Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day;
begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit
to be cumbered with your old nonsense.
This new day is too dear,
with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on the yesterdays.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson, Collected Poems and Translations
By The Shore
There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not Man the less, but Nature more.
Quote – Lord Byron
Floral Dream
Often in our dreams,
infinite darkness may be seen.
But there comes a beam,
a light so powerful that you may scream!
It trickles down in streams,
of colours, so many,
worth every penny.
They Swirl, twirl, unfurl,
Uncorking distant memories.
Shadows of our past, it seems,
play peek-a-boo in our dreams.
Unnerving the realms,
that we build and conceal.
The wounds lay bare,
with nothing to prepare,
for the HIS all-knowing stare.
Hard it is to stay clam,
to find a healing balm,
When hidden memories swarm,
and claw you back into their arm.
It would do no good to hide.
All you must do is ride
into the eye of the storm
and face the demons of the past.
There, in the centre of the tempest cast,
will you see THE ONE.
The source of our existence.
The beginning and end of all.
That moment of calm & bliss
Will ferry you to your Floral Dream.
