The Phoenix In Me

                                                  Burnt to Ashes and Risen from Ashes

Phoenix: It's a fascinating fiction of a long lived bird being reborn from its own ashes. Even we as humans die a million deaths; death of hurt and regrets. Haven't we all learned to rise from all of it and continue to survive, strive and even thrive. Isn't this mythological character an inherent part of us? Get the phoenix in you to be reborn yet again!

The New Dawn

                           The New Dawn

Stranded on the ground I wonder

with many thoughts to ponder

the strength I was going to surrender

help, I ask Him to render.

  The story so far;

the words unsaid

the poems unread

the whispers unanswered

the thoughts ungathered

the expressions unfold

the secrets untold

  but I’ve come afar.

As the daylight fades

for the dusk to sleep, I wait

and wish the dawn to wake.

Yet another hope; blessed wish

a pure bliss

Feasible aspiration

one inspiration

Vigour renewed

anger subdued

Priceless treasures

efficient measures

Favourable avenues

a life anew

strength not to give into madness war

is all I pray for.
