When Life Waits With You

When you pause, the world exhales—
a petal falls, a ripple stills,
and life, once distant, sits beside you
with a quiet, knowing smile.

When you race, the days blur past—
a flicker, a flash, no time to trace
the beauty etched in morning light,
the grace that hides in empty space.

When you feel, life breathes with you—
in sorrow’s hush and laughter’s sway,
each heartbeat echoes back a truth:
you were never meant to look away.

And when you dare to free your soul—
from shoulds, from fears, from needing more,
life gently lifts its veils of weight,
and opens you… from your own core.

Carriers of Quiet Roads

Two shadows glide,

where silence breathes—

a hush of wheels,

on glassy streets.

The sky bends low,

to watch them pass,

its greys like prayers

in folded light.

No haste, no horns,

no need to speak,

just breath and time

in slow duet.

They carry dreams

that others left,

and journeys souls

cannot forget.

Perhaps the road

remembers all—

the ones who pulled,

the ones who rode.

Both pilgrims in

this fleeting world,

two rickshaws on

a silver ode.

Where Waters Whisper

Between two worlds the highway flows,

Where sea-song meets the river’s prose.

Waves kiss the shore in tender grace,

While time slips by, a silent trace.

Each curve a memory shaped by tide,

Each breeze a whisper you can’t hide.

The road moves on, yet moments stay—

In hearts that paused along the way.

Not just a path where waters meet,

But a quiet place where hearts skip a beat

Is it just land and water’s play?

Or is it where lost souls find their way?
