Summer - A Poem

Summer - A Poem by Wayne Jarus

The boats adrift in the harbour As thoughts in a calm mind A liquid sun beaming today and forever We hoard happiness a smile at a time As thoughts in a calm mind Finding respite in cool shade A liquid sun beaming today and forever Butterflies flutter in a golden haze Finding respite in cool shade In this pastel world of light and shadows Butterflies flutter in a golden haze And crickets sing in motionless… Continue

When You Wave Your Dark Cloudy Hair – A Love Poem

When You Wave Your Dark Cloudy Hair

When you wave your dark long hair, Behind your bright smiley face, Behold for a moment my dear, The clouds of the heaven are envious, Because your dark cloudy hair, Has invited the rain God to shower, The tenderly love of rain drops, Poor clouds, Even their long patience, Has not yet won the heart of the rain God! -Bijay… Continue

Accept Yourself

Don't rely on someone else for your happiness and self worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can't love and respect yourself - no one else will be able to make that happen. Accept who you are - completely; the good and the bad - and make changes as YOU see fit - not because you think someone else wants you to be different. - Stacey… Continue

The Law of Attraction and Sankalpa - Dr. Deepak Chopra

The Law of Attraction and Sankalpa By deepak.chopra

The Sanskrit word Sankalpa helps us understand how conscious desire serves as the underlying structure for the manifestation of one's intention. Sankalpa is the subtlest level of intention at the cusp of choiceless awareness and thought. It is like the seed structure of intelligence around which time, space, and matter consolidate into a manifested event. The fundamental mechanics of… Continue

Love Arrives - A Poem by Maya Angelou

Love Arrives

Love arrives, And in its train come ecstasies, Old memories of pleasure, Ancient histories of pain. Yet if we are bold, Love strikes away the chains of fear, From our souls. We are weaned from our timidity, In the flush of love's light, We dare be brave, And suddenly we see, That love costs all we are, And will ever be. Yet it is only love which sets us free. - Maya Angelou, from Touched By An… Continue

Spring Cherries - A Poem

Spring Cherries

White Cherries are blooming, Wild birds are dancing, Green grass is shining, I ask them why they are so merry, They say, Come outside brother, Break the shackles of dead old habits, The tiresome chambers of cubicles, And empty hopes of vanity fairs, For spring has come, And time has come to shine and smile. -Bijay Raut, Spring… Continue

Look Forward, My Friend! - A Poem

Look Forward, My Friend! Not backward, Not in the past, Not in agony, And not in regret, Look forward, my friend! In a world full of cynics, Individuals regretful of the past and fearful of the future, Where will you find optimism, hope and peace? Nowhere but in the present, And in the present, by looking forward, my friend! Past is history, Put it in a dictionary, Look for a hopeful today and promising tomorrow, By forgetting all that already… Continue

Why Do I Work? - A Poem

Why Do I Work? - A Poem

Propelled by desire, Or stung by fear, One works for these reasons, One may also work, To meet the both ends, Or to feed one’s family, There is a ray of light that I see, That entices me to reach to it, There is a bridge to that end, It traverses through the path of toil, The toil is work, The work that has become a joy, Because the goal is not mere survival, But emancipation from this veil of the Maya, The… Continue
