If Only......

If only I could never stop dreaming
If only I could dream things into life
Far away from here I go,Never to return
If only..If only..

I dream of dreaming things worth dreaming
Dreams of riding the clouds
Dreams of feeling the rainbow
If only I could touch the stars
Be a free bird and ride over the alpes.

One day I go hiking on snow-capped mountains
Someday I go dancing on the moon
One time I dive in the ocean
And then spend a lazy noon.

On a full moon night
May I ride a boat on shimmering waters
Soothing,fulfilling may it be
With nothing at all to bother.
I wouldn't know if it's real or am I dreaming
N when i lean over and gaze at my reflection,
I see my face beaming..

Oh I wish I could be a little princess
N visit a fairyland
Swing on a heavenly swing
With stars n planets around..

Little fairies come
N sing to me
Whisper in my ears
Stories of the long-lost kingdoms
I listen to them with a peaceful smile
Unbelievably happy with my newly found freedom.
 
These visions are so alive
Visions of me playing a flute
Leaves rustling n a river flowing
These visions,I must say,are so very cute.

I dream of running endlessly on open fields
Feeling the breeze brushing my face
The winds blowing my hair..
As I sit here on this lazy afternoon,I see,
In search of money,love,livelihood,happiness
The world rushing by
At their impulsivity n desperation,
Sometimes I smile,Sometimes I sigh.

If only they would understand
What they are running after is pathetic
N what I peacefully visualise is ecstatic.
If only they would see and believe
If only they would see and believe
If only..If only.....

The joys of an ordinary day!

I made a promise to myself this morning. Today I am not going to worry, crib, get angry. I will keep myself free of all those nasty emotions. My day, like any other day is going to be a little bit of messy and a little bit of wonderful. That's how an ordinary day is supposed to be. Most of our days are spent in the simple things we do. Real joy and contentment lie in how well we live our ordinary days. Let me live my ordinary day well today. So I made my bed first thing in the morning, had my tea, showered, cooked a delicious meal and went about my daily responsibilities slowly, singing and smiling all along. When I felt a need for my downtime, I stepped out for my dose of nature sounds. Over the years I have found that regular walking is boosts my well being. That time in nature brings me loads of peace. I soaked in all that peace during my long walk. After I came back, I sat in silence for a few minutes. It helped to get rid of those many tiny stains that had crept in my mental s...

Blown away

 I feel like a feather Light and soft Blowing away With the winds Loving The limitless flying Over lakes, rivers Forests and mountains Unstoppable Invincible I toss and twist Excitement Hitting every nerve of mine Cruising through the clouds I see A flock of birds Smiling back at me I relish These silky moments Holding them Close to me I am dancing Seeing the wonders that came my way Today I feel I am Truly Blown away

My love for libraries

Image
My earliest memories of a library is of course that of my school library. I remember it to be very spacious, well stocked with books and with lots of natural light streaming in. My favorite place in the library was in a corner near a big window overlooking the biggest field of our school. This was the place where I would go, sit and spend an hour of our weekly library period. That weekly library period used to be such a treat for me. I loved spending time reading a book enjoying the silence, the smell, the light. I viewed my school library as a fortress which had rows and rows of books inside it. Rows and rows of books that held the capacity to fuel my imagination. It was a place that opened up windows for me, to different stories written by different authors from different eras.  I used to be an enthusiastic reader at that time. Not that I am less now. I do read enthusiastically whenever I come across a book that appeals to me. In our school, every student was allowed to borrow a ...
