344. Magazine September

 The festival arrived and with it came hope anew

That I will overcome my vices as I start new

When I feel overwhelmed, even a bit

I switch by opting for a toxic habit

It gives temporary pleasure

And an escape to feel leisure

I promised Bappa that I will change my ways

At present, I am not focused and feel all over the place

But if I have promised something valuable to me

Then I choose to deny being captive to my mind tree

The present energy rush within me is insane

So I am writing a poem to flow it in a creative lane

Festival brings home positive vibes and a chance for a new start

To be consistent and choose the right path is an art

When God is within me, I know I am protected and He won't let me do wrong

Ganpati Bappa removes all obstacles and is making me strong!!!

343. Magic of Ganapati

 Ganpati is a lord of removing obstacle and also grants Wisdom and skill

We all are blessed with creative minds and this itself is a magic pill

I am from GSB community Mangalore 

Here Ganpati is brought in family elders home 

Always I wished if I could bring Ganpati home but there are many facts I find 

Along with restrictions and things to keep in mind

I then thought why not make some creativity 

And past year I tried making utensil Ganapati 

I felt very happy and this year I thought of making one from vegetable

In UAE we don't get off for work to celebrate any Hindu festival 

And first half of the day went with a lot of work load

Then thought passed what if I can't bring ganapati Bappa on board 

Previous evening itself I had prepared majority of festive food 

During my lunch break I quickly made a cute veggie Ganesha and the experience was so good 

I made him sit and read my letters and offered him whatever I made to eat 

I quickly completed my work and felt as if ganapati asked me some sweets to repeat 

I wound up my office work and prepared few things for Bappa

He graced me to make modak, snacks and banana appa

I felt as if I was a mother to this beautiful baby , to let him go heart refused

For visarjan I made a sambar out of the ingredients used 

I didn't feel like asking for anything and my heart felt so free

Felt magically blessed that Inspite of hurdles he chose and came to me 

I sang few bhajans with my imperfect voice but true feeling

Felt his mere presence was my only need for inner healing 

I was in tears throughout as I couldn't believe he came home 

Always in my heart ,I know I am never alone 

He made me a mother the moment he accepted my wish to give him a form and adore

His magical presence felt so grateful and I wished nothing more

God is in our hearts and bringing him home is a way of offering gratitude 

The magic I received was abundance blessings and a positive attitude 

Even for a moment I didn't feel like I wanted to ask something 

Because God's presence in my life equates to having everything 

I can't express in words the feeling to love without expectation

Magical is the feeling to be a mother wit

hout even my realisation !!!

 Poem using Moon key train secret rain

Just as moon change from full to new 

Mind train speeds up with addiction few 

Secret to reveal is that I am two faced but in pain 

My heart cries and pour like rain 

Key to my lock is self realisation 

And to be real and overcome addiction

 The young girl is married, trying for a child,

Unable to conceive, but her will stays strong inside

The egg within her makes every effort somehow,

But sheds away with each try and lies outside now

She preserves tiny hope with care and trusts the process,

Until one day it forms egg which hatch, with a note saying “Success!”

She becomes a mom, as she had dreamt always,

God’s blessings arrive in magical ways

With no expectations, just effort & faith in the Lord,

The egg’s magic becomes her conne

ction with God!!!

 The door is gateway to Georgia's sulphur bath

I never imagined I would explore this path

It's a public pool where folks take bath without clothes on

The water has healing quality and improves skin tone

It was a beautiful experience to explore

The lush greenery outside

And within me, I had nothing to hide!!!

339. Teddy talks

 I have my old teddy bear in parents home but felt bad to see it torn, now with my little nephew niece 

When I met, teddy seemed sad with open tummy, my heart freeze 

I started to stitch it as we spoke how I use to teach teddy all my subjects and share my fears Today I saw him broken and in tears 

On fixing his tummy I felt a bit relief to see in him pain free in gentle care 

The kids pulled the teddy and and jumped in joy flying it in air 

Teddy requests me to set him free 

Kids sensed it and hid it so that I don't take him with me !!!
