Balance by David Lanier

[youtube id="ceeKWnAuF-w"]

Balance is the
key to life,
it’s a dance
that we all do.
We strive to find
that balance point,
while seeking
out the truth.
Having too
much of anything
throws our
lives off kilter.
Good and evil
love and pain,
like walking
on a wire.
Love and family
work and play,
juggling them
all at once.
The balancing act
of yin and yang,
searching for
some answers.
Sometimes we
just need to
take a break,
get out and
enjoy nature.
Remembering we
are part of
Mother Earth,
the wisdom
of the ages.
The answers
we are seeking
are whispered
in the wind.
Just listen with
an open heart,
and feel the
peace within.
When your soul
and nature
are as one,
the balance
has begun.

“Masterpiece” By Rhea D’Souza

Blank canvass
Thoughtful visage
Mindful presence
Poised being 








The brush ..held
Silent ..
In midair

Crisp morning breeze
Gentle
Patient
Encouraging
Coaxing
For him to go on…

Contemplation.

The many pictures
Crossing his minds eye
Landscapes
Portraits
Flowers
Rivers
People
Things

What a dilemma.

Minutes turn into Hours
And hours to days
Years

The Man morphs into
Another person.
The what-if has altered what-is.

The horizon..starts shifting
Impatient
Yet , Immaculate

The sky robed in orange hues …
Heralds
The Fast approaching twilight

With nothing to lose
With a sense of abandon

The man dips
His hands in the raw paint
And
For the first time
In his life as an artist
Feels the canvass

A Masterpiece is born

“Call For World Peace” ~ ABhishek Boinapalli

 

We are blessed with a beautiful nature indeed.

But we still keep fighting for useless things.

The fate of humanity,

depends on each one of us.

If we kill it, in peace we’ll

never be able to dwell

With terrorism spreading

its venom by the day,

the innocents are dying for

no fault of theirs.

Our future depends on corrupt politicians of the day.

Humans, they weep and beg for love,

we must be ashamed, coz we can’t love anymore.

The world is changing, into fire of hell.

A few ones are waiting for an awakening bell.

Who can ring it & free us from blinding,

that lies in human heart of darkness.

The affection of religion towards the other,

has fallen apart at the border.

So what if you belong to another nation

humanity awaits for you at every station.

Just go grab it, nothing it costs,

not more than a smile that can wipe your loss

The world looks like what the society makes it look,

so using a calm mind with ease

lets change the world of terror into peace.
