The Rose that shall forever bloom,
The fragrance of which shall always prolong.
The lineage that you left behind-
Your two handsome boys,
True modern Princes, who works diligently for your unfinished causes.
Lady Di ! The Peoples'  Princess,
You placed a rose in million hearts with success.
Your touch, your smile, your beauty
Lit like flashbulbs across the length and breadth of countless countries.
The Rose looks beautiful from far and prettier even closer,
Each petal intricately placed one on top of the other.
Your personality and life was not an easy reign;
Delicately designed, yet intricately stacked with passion and pain.
The thorns that pricked,
The tears that welled,
Those ethereal eyes,
The quivering lips & the shaken heart,
You broke open from the shackles of the gilded cage,
And glided and bumped into rough terrain.
Your voice found strength; you rebuild your broken path;
You used your platform and stood steadfast yet uncertain.
Two decades on, you live on.
We remember you, a heroic Princess gone.
And you lived like a ‘candle in the wind’,
Swept away too soon,
Yet glowing, glistening ambers never really die
Especially such that get placed deep inside.
We think of you and our hearts blithe.
The love that you left behind,
Million candles continue to light.
Your love, your touch, your smile!
We all miss that so much;
The embers glow, the memories raw
The peoples' Princess, Lady Di!
 Your candle continues to glow….

We the Gift

We the Gift On my Birthday all I have is Love to share through threads of thoughts that bind us all! We The Gift I am everybody's story. Our Paths have crossed or not; Yet I know, I know you ; Our hearts beat the same,  Right now, at this moment,  As we breathe, as we live. How different can then my story be! From the hazy grey softness of the womb,  I emerged ; Light, love, warmth, food, and air. Was not yours the same? Of a different mother, of a different womb,  You emerged; Rest just the same! Moments sometimes come momentous ; Ordinary routine like pass by most times. Emotions stretch high and low; Smiles, frustrations, the search for more. Never anything less, always something more. Unsettled energy lives within me; Unsettled energy resides in you too. As the sun wipes out the clouds and makes its presence felt; I break open the straps and step into life's conveyor belt. You don't see t...

The Greater Design

Image
The Greater Design Let it all come together,  the design the structure. The towering height. What is design but a vision So also is structure but sketches With shape, form, matter. The engineering, the technical literature; that goes with it,  The concrete,   the steel,   the knots,   the bolts.  Is that all? The reason for it to look a certain way, The reason for it to be there. Man the creator  An expression of his own greater creation Running parallel Vivid manifestation Lifting his pride  Beyond imagination. That towers over him Mute in its magnitude More faith on his offspring that colossal that child  that other He lets it stand  Totally assured  Shall not fall He would have his hopes high On his child  to never fail Faultless creation Offspring  Faulty himself  His belief Limited,   But in t...
