Dance of Disillusioned Love

In the dance of life, illusions took hold,

A mirage of love, seemingly bold

Yet as the echo of our laughter fades,

I see the reality of our charade...

How to move on, when steps echo our song?

Yet I've danced this rhythm for so long

Heartbreak and joy, a coin toss of life,

In the music of emotions, I must strive...

Walking in shadows of what was,

Seeking light in a new cause

Illusions may shatter, yet I stand,

Stronger, braver, on love's shifting sand...

In the ebb and flow, life's lessons unfold,

Each ending, a new story to be told

So here's to hope, in this cosmic dance,

For in every heartbreak, there's a new chance!!!

Time's Tapestry: A Dance of Memories

Two decades pass in but a blink, or so it seems,

As fleeting as a wisp of cloud, in the land of dreams.

I revisit conversations past, with friends and kin,

Wondering how much I've changed, the growth within.

Some connections still remain, while others fade,

The dance of closeness shifts, as years cascade.

Are relationships, I wonder, simply bound by time,

Serving fleeting needs, in life's rhythmic rhyme?

We must move forward, for time won't stand still,

Embracing change, we bend to life's gentle will.

The moments of joy we create, are they just time's snare?

Or a chance for deeper bonds, as we journey and share?

New memories we must forge, in these bonds we hold,

Fresh adventures, travels far, stories yet untold.

For life evolves, as do we, in this world we pause,

Our journey here, a fleeting glimpse, in a grander cause.

Everything is going to be Alright!!

Please tell me everything is going to be alright,

Today is the last day you have to put up that fight,

Tell me tomorrow is going to be another day,

you will be laughing all the happy and gay,

I know that all this is temporary, and this too shall be past,

Please give me the courage to fight till it lasts..

I know you are there with me forever and I should need no approval,

But today I am a little low, so please show me your miracle!!

You know I have tons of questions for you at this time,

I know, you accept me even when I whine

I know you give nobody, no more than they can handle,

but sometimes I feel it is too much trouble

Has the load suddenly increased or my capacity suddenly reduced?

Whatever it is, doesn't feel right in my mind!!

Please tell me, tomorrow I will be laughing thinking about this,

with a feather of confidence in my hat to tackle what is amiss!!!

Just talking to you about this makes me ready to take on this fight,

And I know you and I will together win it with our might!!!

This is a poem dedicated to the times when you are feeling low and down and feel that the burden on you is too much, At times like those, just remember, there is this eternal force which is making you strong and guiding you on the path of enlightenment if you trust it.

Love,

I love this lovely serenity poem

God grant me the serenity

To accept the things I cannot change;

Courage to change the things I can;

And wisdom to know the difference.
