I am gusty when I blow,

I am gutsy in my flow.

Even if you are careful, at times, I may just imbalance you.

that is my nature.

You may walk against my flow,

because that is what you may need to do,

so hold on to your sails, my good friend.

Both in the water and off it, balance yourself,

it is ok if you fall,

float for a while, till you pull yourself up with all your grit and resilience,

to go with the wind, in the journey of life.

 

It is said that I take the shape of the vessel I am filled in,

that’s me, as flexible as I can be.

Well, what is not said is that I flow the way the wind blows on me,

if she blows on me from the left, I too move from the left to right,

if she blows on me from the right, I too move from the right to left,

gone with the wind as Ms. Margaret Mitchell’s title would say.

I can be placid and calm, when I need to be,

if I am stormy waters, give the credits to stormy winds,

if I ebb and recede, credits go to the moon.

Sometimes my dear friend, just be like me,

go with the flow, in the journey called life.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am terra firma by nature,

if you walk all over me, I am bound to slide,

and when I do, I can take you with me.

If you need to stand your ground,

you need to take one step at a time, firmly being on your feet.

So, my dear friend, be bold and less of fear,

to take the road less traveled, in the journey of life.

 

Ah!! me and my nature of vastness,

in myriad shades and hues of blue.

Or sometimes, I take the colour given to me by the one who is always in me

the brightest star in the sky – my eternal friend – The Sun.

I can be lit in shades of orange and pink and peach and yellow,

pick the colour you want to choose.

Blue or pink.. Orange or peach.. Yellow or gold..

Colour, colour what colour do you choose??

Whichever colour you choose, my good friend,

they are all within you.

Your experiences cast their own shade and hue within you,

So choose wisely the colours of life, to travel in the journey called life.

 

Nature always has only the best to offer you,

all you need  is to see her as best.

She can stoke the fire in your belly,

thru’ whichever form you see her in.

Keep your eyes and ears and intuition open always, my dear dear friend,

to receive the best that nature has to offer you.

The present is always a present,

Don’t get carried away by the gift wrap,

it is what is inside that matters,

in the journey of life…
