Daily scribble in Kannada

Movement

When laziness whispers, still you stay,
Time slips, your edge fades away.
Lost in shadows, lost in self,
Drifting dreams left on the shelf.

Just take a step, let motion start,
The path unfolds, a beating heart.
No map is needed, just be free—
In movement, you’ll find destiny.

Witness

Be a witness, not the tide,
Watch the river, stand aside.
On the edge, a beggar’s gaze,
Drifting through the endless haze.

Step within, embrace the throne,
In the center, you’re your own.
Not a seeker, not the plea,
But the emperor, bold and free.

The Pause

What if the wind, worn out, took pause,
Ceased its dance, ignored nature’s laws?
Have you seen a bird, with wings untied,
Slumber all day, letting dreams reside?

What if the plant, in quiet defiance,
Shunned its toil, broke its alliance?
Why is it you, who tires and sighs,
Seeking sparks to make life rise?

Is it the burden of thought we bear,
The weight of choice, a fleeting care?
Or a casual rift with life’s grand art,
Misunderstanding the rhythm at heart?
