I believe in taking every day as a learning phase, and exploring my writing skills. I have enjoyed the challenges as a journalist, content writer and college lecturer, and at the moment am living life analysing the extraordinary in the ordinary!

To tranquility

“Life is short.”

A statement, she repeated

Three times, expecting an emphasis.

My eyes were trained at the

Common black bird on maple tree

Quiet, unlike its usual chirpy self.

“To be lived and not short.

Here, now and the moment, I live.”

“Why disagree? We are one.” she murmured.

Another common black bird joined in

Together, in silence,

Seemed poised.

I paused my mind; to stillness and tranquility;

Silence embraced my heart and soul.

“In this life….”

There’s a song …

There’s a song in my head, and

Its music I picked ;

Flawlessly, guided mind.

I stepped on the stones by the river side and

Motioned into a dance move,

Waking sleeping energies into a ball,

A fire of emotional deluge.

The wind swirled to unknown rhythms as

My hands reached out to the unknown

Within, deep within

Body and Soul.

In my quiet island

Where silence prevailed,

Stillness watched into emptiness;

Time stood tapping.

My inner child took a

Twirl and smiled;

The song in my head played again.
