Being grateful

Image
I'm grateful for all the things I've seen, I'm grateful for all the places I've been, I'm grateful for all the people I've known, I'm grateful for all the seeds I've sown, For those seeds came to life and became trees, And gave me plump tomatoes for which I'm grateful today. I'm grateful to have walked on the face of this earth, I'm grateful to the wonderful woman who gave me birth. I'm also grateful for all the novels I've read, Of the marvelous authors and poets long ago dead. For they've filled my head with infinite tales, I'm grateful to be born into an era of females. I'm grateful for all the music that's been composed. The doors I opened were somehow closed, But it meant new opportunities for windows to be blown, Now I can listen to Mozart and Beethoven on my phone. I'm grateful to have jumped into a pond, I'm grateful for the connecting bond, That I've with the cosmos and my kinfolks, I...

Blank

I dont know, The art of not knowing The hunger of wanting more The abstract idea of being clueless Ideas, they don't come to me, Yet I seek knowledge At this point of time, my head is empty. It does not mean I don't feel, It's just that I can't think. My head is making up stuff But it seems worthless It's useless all that I feel All I want is to be able to think Thinking is what makes me who I'm Maybe I'm not myself today Maybe I'm not myself most days But who am I ? It's a question I seldom ask myself, But when I do, my head goes blank. Just like my name will when I pass into nothingness. All I know right now, All I feel right now is nothing.

Starscape

A starry night, a moonlit sky, Perfect date with my favourite guy. Hooking up under the starscape, Was my idyllic setting for an escape. The moon unsheltered by the murky clouds, As if to the star-crossed lovers it bowed. Softly traced my fingers on his lips, More often should we take such trips. Soaking in the enigmatic, velvety night, Gazed upon the stars so bright. Wonderful was an evening spent with you, As I experienced the multifarious hues. A gentle breeze soothed me out of my wits, Felt strangely connected like a piece of puzzle that fits. Begged the night not to turn into another mundane day, Let me live in this moment till eternity passes away. No longer was I needy, no longer my heart craved, As I had met you and together the hardships we braved. You were my picturesque starscape, Providing me solace, helped me escape.
