The Thirty Eighth Poem- Embracing Change

-

 Embracing Change

I tell myself it’s okay,
I tell myself it’ll be alright,
I try to quietly survive the day,
Hoping I won’t cry again at night.

Will the scary nights ever go away?
Will my thoughts ever stop haunting me?
They start with one and long they stay,
Why are they still daunting me?

I forget the days I was happy and free,
When I fall back into the mental turmoil;
Why do I feel so unlike me?
Can I ever untangle out of this coil?

I want to regain my peace,
I want to obtain clarity,
I want to feel again at ease,
I want to fall back into my previous familiarity.

But I do realise
That change is the only thing constant,
I hope my faith and patience will always suffice,
To lead me to peace that is inherent.

Maybe it’s okay to fall back sometimes,
A thought or two of the past will always trigger;
But I will come back to the present everytime,
Because my life is wondrously and worthily bigger.

The Thirty Third Poem- Wintery Mornings

-
  ❄️ Wintery Mornings❄️ The pleasantness of dawn invites me, Long walks in the early hours entice me, Wintery morning’s cool breeze, Makes me feel so light and free. When people haven’t woken up yet, Half the world is asleep; In perfect glory, the day is set; I’ve never felt a calmness so deep. The fog sets up a lovely scene, Causing a little shiver in me; With my mind in peace and the land around me green, Surely there’s no other place I’d rather be. Freshness of my neighbour’s lilies, The smell of moist mud under my feet, Strolling on the sand and stones of the streets, I feel nature’s embrace so deep and so sweet. As the sun’s first rays touch me, Warmth rushes into my body; As the blessings of the morning dawn upon me, I feel the amount of strength and wisdom I embody. There’s just something about wintery mornings, Experience for yourself and see; You’ll enjoy the most exhilarating of mornings, So come on, unlock your peace with this golden key. - Jaanvi Veluguleti

The Fortieth Poem- Sorrow And Strength

-
Sorrow And Strength What do I tell myself, When the thought alone makes me cry, When the place reminds me of it, The grief that was witnessed by the midnights? How do I console myself? What words do I say to myself? When I uncontrollably burst out into tears, But try to restrict them to the edges of my pillow? Grief, fuelled by rage Caused due to deep hurt, Causes an ache in my heart, And the loop reiterates all over again. My mind says fine, now you can let go, And for a moment I think I can keep it all together; Then suddenly the feeling of angst comes back, With tears sticking down my eyes, I sob helplessly. The aftermath of my sorrow is always prayer; I realise I can convey my feelings to the higher power, So I pray, I say every bit I want to say, And slowly, bit by bit, my grief starts to fade away. I am aware that there’s always prayer, But I need to bawl my eyes out, To let go of withheld emotions, And pour back in my cup of optimism. For your smallest or deepest grief, Remember
