Hope is not absence of darkness
Its not overwhelming optimism
When devouring dark thoughts
Design doubt to doubt your instincts:
Use Hope, its the charm to
Cherish your independent individualism.

A life without tears
Tells no story at all
Pearls pure clense worries, fears
Tests how you stand proud, tall.
Daren’t you say “Never shed one”
Even Angels couldn’t claim to outrun.
Lets enbrace them as motive to fight
Set armour to amend what’s not right.

I don’t need no music makers
No need no shimmerin’ disco lights
I gotta dance undaunted joyous wild
My spirit has a trance-in’ rhythm
And a kaleidoscopic glow
Which can illumine the universal night.

Selected by the editor as a featured submission, July 2021

Bleeding profusely for what you believe

Is worth the fight even for your defeat.

Mourn not for Victory, Fortune’s pawn.

Pages of history rejoice martyred braves

But seldom does it reflect a cowardly retreat.

World is but an imitation with passing shadows

Filled with gushing waters n lush, green meadows

Be here as a caretaker, a specialist of life

Leave it with a wave of hand, a hopeful vibe.

Care not of the countless menial humdrums

But heed to leave memorable echoing hums.

Acceptance

Life’s longevity is lost in wait

In Passive , impatient, impassionate state.

Blessings shower as I tread this path,

Accepting, complying – surrendered to Your wrath.

Dartful eyes pin down my pride;

Eaglewinged I lie to endure Your stride –

Terrifying scorn filled with care

Lord, I give up Ego as You endear.
