Perennial Poetry

Ladder of Growth I feel so courageous, I feel so confident, My love for myself is my strongest asset, I feel ready to tackle all of life’s blues. Things that seemed impossible,  Now seem possible with a click; I built my self-esteem from pebbles, To a magnificent roaring peak. Nothing ever came easy, For I’ve been tested to persist, Through thick and thin, To mold me into what I am today. Lessons about being easy on myself, Being loving and kind to others, Absorbing every little spark of goodness in life, I added all of these to my golden arsenal. Self-love and introspection, Trusting and surrendering, Brought me calm and peace, Which even the deepest of seas couldn’t possibly gift. I am growing in all the ways intended for me, I am grateful for every lesson as a blessing in disguise; I am immensely thankful for all that I’ve been bestowed with, Family, health, love, wisdom and peace. -Jaanvi Veluguleti

  New Chapters As old chapters close And new ones spring, We lose some beautiful connections But gatekeep the genuine ones. All the lessons learnt,  We transform into a sweet elixir of wisdom. And the choices we make,  Change from the ones we’d make an era before. Tangles of threads being to uncoil, With internal battles being slowly won, And priorities that truly matter Begin to be held in the highest regard. New dreams and desires unfold, With unwavering hope in the heart. And the collectibles of lessons and blessings, Make you a more powerful ‘You’. To new chapters waiting to be unleashed, And more wiser ‘Yous’ looking back in the mirror, We bid goodbye to the old ones, Whose best parts will stay in our memories forever. -Jaanvi Veluguleti

Life’s a Celebration  Life is a big canvas,  Waiting for you to splash colours. Continue to work and have faith regardless, And see life shower you with the prettiest of flowers. Life gets so much better, Once you let go of your worries. Your mind, body and spirit get so much fitter, When you make peace with all of your life’s stories. Life can get miraculously blessed, When you are good intentional; There would be no room for you to be stressed, And life would become much more special. Life is a one time experience, And it’s uniquely yours; Continue to extract its precious essence, And in times of despair, lean on the divine force. May we continue to believe In life’s magical ways of things; May we all have precious moments to relive, And may we strive to be the best of human beings. Life is about celebration, So in its grand scheme of things, May we continue to have revelations, And accept life in all the experiences that it brings. -Jaanvi Veluguleti  

Universe, My Friend You’ve shown me miracles Oh Universe, show me them again; It’s been so long since I’ve had a taste, My tastebuds long for your sweet love again. It feels like long lost connection, I wish to hold your hand again; Show me your purest self, I’ll keep remembering you’re always there for me, again and again. I’ve had chaotic experiences, But still the end of the loop has led me back to you; I will never leave your shelter, Because you are my biggest protector. They say when you look for something, You will find it; I’ve done that by seeking your love, And I have experienced it unconditionally from you before . You gave me answers when I asked for them, You blessed me in ways I never asked, You always showed me signs when I looked for them, You always protected me in ways I never fathomed. My life is truly a blessing, Because I get to realise more of myself everyday; By believing more and having faith, Even in the dust, I find specks of miracles. - Jaanvi Veluguleti

Life Happens For You🍀 It was around the world tour And I came back to you, I found every piece of me Fit perfectly in the puzzle queue. All the mazes were God’s plan, All the turbulences were lessons in disguise; And I was put through all of it to realise, That I could emerge stronger and more wise. Every dark storm was a painful sight, But I endured each of them with all my might; Every step of my way, I didn’t know if I was doing it right, But I kept going anyway. My only driving force was faith, It still is, and it always will be; Giving me the strength to endure anything That life, with or without warning, throws at me.  After going through the whole ride, And rising like a Phoenix every time, Now I see with my clear eyes, Why everything happened as it did. Life is mysterious yet magical, Might feel difficult and strategical; But realise that you’re supported all the way through, And that the e nd of it all is a better you. - Jaanvi Veluguleti
