Birds In The Air

Birds flying in the air

Flocking together

Singing songs of love

Reverberating in the cosmic air

Breathing free, uplifting souls

Circling around

Over the horizon

Blue, pink, red, green

Vibrancy of colourful riots

Morning mists

Chirping and singing

Tranquil birdsongs

Amongst all the chaos

The best therapist in the whole world

Nature heals in a myriad way

Azure skies, ruffling seas

High mountains and tall trees

Green pastures and scenic locals

Birdsongs and animal calls

Birds pecking at the ripe fruits on trees

Animals loitering leisurely with their infants been sen

Look around and soak in the bliss

Listen to the reverberation

And feel the peace.

Serenity

The serenity of being truly connected by heart

When we converse and share no hold barred

Nestled in the comforting embrace of being the best of a kind

Where words don't matter to express the feelings endured

Yes, you complete me like non

My heart nestles in your soul

And I feel at home

After a long tiring day.

Survive

When you are looked down upon

As you work effortlessly even been provoked

Tried fitting in, but with no avail

Hurt and battered

By the ones

Living life, on terms

Ingenious blows

Dreams on the verge of getting broke

Yet you hold on

With a tiny flicker called hope

Slow but steady

Burning

Igniting self

With a twinkling sheen insight

Life pulls you through

And you just emulate

Leaning on it and survival instinct!
