THE BEAUTIFUL ART OF POETRY NOW

LET YOUR LIFE BE YOUR ART

 

Let your life be your art.

Allow the golden, glistening moments to weave themselves

Into an intricately crafted tapestry of experiences,

Thread by thread

Intertwining past, present, and future

Into one awe-inspiring spectacle for the universe

To behold here, now.

 

Let your life be your art.

The way you move your body

As you work, on the street, in the forest, in the kitchen.

Allow the carefully choreographed way

your hands dance as you prepare dinner

become a performance,

Rhythmically chopping, and stirring, and mixing.

 

Let your life be your art.

Surrender your speech to poetry.

Note the beauty of your articulations as they land

On the ears of your beloved

Like a sonnet,

Caressing them with love, understanding, and compassion

Igniting light, illuminating their loveliness.

 

 

Let your life be your art.

The way your feet lovingly graze the earth

Like paint-strokes on a canvas

Sketching the soil, each step with a brilliant palette

Of gentleness, care, lightness.

 

Let your life be your art,

The greatest studio space imaginable,

the most infinite realm of creative free rein.

You were born with this craft, this aptitude, this intrinsic ingenuity.

You need not go to art school, take classes, collect praise,

For your life to be a classic work

That fills you up from the inside

Spilling over boundaries, overflowing into the current

Of right here, right now.

 

Let your life be your art,

Moving and being moved,

The lasting touch of divinity

Leaving imprints of connectedness

The totality of mindful moments

A masterpiece to share and behold here, now.

BLOOMING POETRY

A poem starts as a tiny little seed planted in your mind
You nurture it, in time tiny roots start to form
It keeps on growing, branching out in all directions
Bursting from the buds the verses start to form
Until the poem blooms before your very eyes
 

Finally you are ready to reveal it in its full glory
You show the poem; your confidence blossoms
Some words may still need cultivating and pruning
Kind people will advise of where to trim or weed
My advice to new writers is simple – just have fun
Embrace your growing creativity with all your heart

AN INSPIRING ART OF NATURE

An Inspiring Art Of Nature!

Artist's depiction of Nature through an angle

 

Surely captures hearts of all Nature lovers..!

Such beautiful artistic expression of Nature

Absorbs and inspires heart, mind and soul...!

 

Brook going across green pasture with hills

On one side and trees of many varieties on

The other side gives a cool look and peace

Nothing can give in the world of technology!

 

The free air we breathe among the beautiful

Things of Nature like colorful flowers, green

Meadows, lakes and cascading water falls

Endlessly gives inspiration to live there ever!

 

Mechanical way of life in the fast material

World is surly far, far away from Nature

And also natural way of life full of energy,

Enthusiasm and life nowhere one can get..!
