Into the stillness

In solitude...

I found my voice

A hermit's path

My heart's choice

No echoes of the world's loud din,

Only whispers of my soul within

I hid away

To heal, mend and find my day

No judgments

No expectations

Just the stillness


In silence...

I found my strength

A transformation

A  rebirth's length

The world outside receded fast

As I emerged, reborn, at last

My eyes, like lotus petals, opened wide

A new perspective

My spirit's tide

The recluse became the seer

A spiritual awakening

My heart's clear

No longer hiding

But, shining bright

A light in darkness

Guiding light

My solitude

A sacred space

Where I found myself

My true face

Rekindled

In ashes of what once was

A spark flickers

Is it a phoenix's gasp?


I ask! 


I wander in night

Till fragments of me start to stitch and ignite...


Yet again!


The shards of dreams

The broken glass

Reflections of a life that didn't last

Yet, like they say

In the cracks

Light seeps through

A path unfolds

Where shadows once resided too


Worn and torn

I gather pieces

A mosaic of a soul...


Reborn!


The weight of loss

A catalyst true

Forging me anew

Like tempered steel strong and new


In emptiness 

I find a strange peace

A space where.

Fear and hope entwine...


Release!


The map is gone

But, the journey is mine

Finding myself

In the wreckage


I redefine!

Lost Whispers


In empty spaces

Your whispers linger

Echoes of laughter

Now a sorrowful singer

Memories flood

Like autumn's golden light

But like fallen leaves

You are gone from sight


Every step feels like a journey back

To moments shared

Now lost in the haze of fact

Your smile haunts me

A bittersweet refrain

A melody that only echoes pain


We were stars aligned

In a cosmic dance

Now, I am left with just this hollow trance

Weight of what's lost presses down on me

A longing that refuses to be set free


In dreams...

I still reach out for your hand

But like sand slipping through

You have slipped this land

Gone, yet present

Like a scent in the air

A reminder of love that wasn't meant to stay

But is hard to bear
