325. Picture Prompt

 R

eview 

Your poem is a beautiful reminder to stay strong, trust God, and keep moving forward even when the path ahead is unclear. I love the way you highlighted that you learn humbleness from the tall trees and find hope even as night falls. It is a very inspiring, positive, and heart-touching piece—wonderful work✍️✨

I am walking in faith wearing my confidence in sleeve

The path unknown but I feel positive 

The grass appears as if my favourite God is seated 

I may step in thorn but will never be defeated 

Picture clicked in dawn and disk appear similar 

Why does the gloominess seem familiar?

Is it the similar situation again?

I hope to not repeat the past mistakes of pain

I believed that I am so tall and can never fumble

Tall trees gives me a reminder to st

ay humble 

The destination seemed so near

It's already dusk and I can't see any path clear

I walk as if blindfolded with feel faith away from fear

God will protect me ,he is within my reach so near

This night shall too pass and awaiting to see the morning again

And have self belief, determination, Will power to restart regain 

No pain ,No gain

No effort will ever go in vain 

This journey is a beautiful chapter of my lifes leap 

Miles to go before I sleep !!!

My heart holds endless gratitude for your grace.

I miss our talks, your laughter, your warm, smiling face;

My handsome Dad, your kindness time can't erase.

323. Mom's unspoken lessons

 *Mom's unspoken lessons*

Review.This is a heartwarming piece that beautifully captures the essence of a mother, whose wisdom emerges from childhood stories and becomes a vital inner guide. The metaphor of a “balance sheet” in her memories is a special and unique way to describe finding emotional peace.

Keep writing—your ability to transform raw grief into such a structured, beautiful guiding light is truly healing and powerful.💕

You would be 66 years today 

Missing you beyond what words can say 

When I feel I am alone in crowd

Your unspoken lessons speak loud 

When arises any misaligned thought 

Instead of keeping in heart , I speak out 

I know I seem lame at time

But not carrying baggage makes me fine

When I confront thorns my way 

Your unspoken lessons does convey 

How to pass the tough times with faith and hope 

And your blessings throughout helps me cope

I do miss your hug and sweet voice 

And the feel of being safe amidst all chaos 

I do miss your stories when I don't feel asleep

But the unspoken lessons is instilled within me deep 

The moral stories you once told seemed unlikely to preach 

But in situations that demand patience , I am learning to reach 

At times I feel all I need is you 

I know whatever time we spent is my treasure true 

When I do get upset with little things

I wish you come down to hug me with those angel wings

At times days feel so slow ,lazy with negative sign 

Your unspoken lesson reminds me be dutiful and clear things piled up in line 

Your unspoken lessons are now my guiding path 

With you around the balance sheet always tallies irrespective of the math

your thought each moment makes me feel at ease 

Whenever you are ,may you be happy and in peace!!!

322. The tale we wove

 

Review 

You have a wonderful way of looking at life. It’s not easy to take “broken pieces” and see them as something to be proud of, but your words make it feel possible. You’ve captured the idea that being a “hero” isn’t about being perfect—it’s about not giving up. Your writing is very comforting and full of hope.

Keep Writing💕

Life’s path, when it seems rough and the destination far,

Faith within me ignites a hero with a scar.

These scars narrate stories of perseverance 

Even in moments when I feel vulnerable

To keep going, doing my duty with love and quiet assurance 

Even when situations are unfavorable.

Embracing the journey and weaving the tale,

Self-reflection and relearning may take attempts, but are never a fail.

Turning roadblocks into opportunities to embrace,

Understanding each of us has our own timeline and we are not in a race.

In this movie named life, the different roles we play,

Moments may fade, but the lessons stay.

Inner heroism is accepting broken pieces without self-blame,

Not feeling inferior, not shrinking in shame.

Fighting our best, patting our backs for trying,

And emerging as warriors quietly defying.

Tough times are just a pause before we leap,

Still, miles to go before I sleep!!!

321. Reverse poetry

 

Reverse poetry 

I surrender myself to the mind tree 

Mind said God is nowhere how do I control it

I let mind control me as this day I sit 

Typing a text to a contact hoping to calm mind 

It's best to not save contact 

When I am impacted by ones status and act

Today as I felt low 

I wanted someone to check on me now 

So I typed and sent a message

The opposite person didn't engage 

It started building up my anxiety 

So many days I was focussed on my duty 

And today suddenly the persons non response was making a difference to me 

Writing poetry definitely helps to calm mind 

It's ok to save contact 

As far as I instruct mind to act 

I don't want anyone to check on me 

I have left behind the baggage of validation and set myself free

Chanting gods name helps me overcome my anxiety 

I should continue to be persistent with my duty 

Anybody's action shouldn't control my day 

I am here to grow , be stronger and slay

Mind said God is now here but persistence is the key 

I surrender myself to the divine and feel free!
