Poem 10
I dreamt last night
I walked by the beach
It’s a walk I always longed to do
Just me in complete solitude
The water bluer, than I had ever seen
Cool winds running past my face
My walk seemed alright in its pace
Seagulls taking flight
As the sun rose
Emitting its rays of hope
Sunkissed I then became
Silence all around me
Sounds of waves hitting rocks
Temple bells somewhere in the distance
Azaan too
A music if it’s own
Chirping birds nesting on trees
Sharing a conversation filled with delight
I slowdown my pace
Pause. Breathe.
Reset. Reassess.
Heart leaps with joy
I listen to the song
The song of the universe
Tapping feet give way dance
I feel lighter
My soul it seems has found its calling
My heart it’s voice
By Pallavi Lumba
Poem 9
Walking in different direction
Towards the same common goal
Differences in thought and views
Casting the same away
Just for today
And so it will be
For all days to come
Days where there are no barriers
Co existing together you and I
Bounded by a thread
A thread of unity in diversity
A wonderful day it surely is
I look within
Positive. Hopeful. Joyful. Upbeat
That’s how I always want to be
Sending love to universe
So that it bounces back
In multifolds
Not to me alone
Bounces back to all
Under the same umbrella
Of this huge vast universe
By Pallavi Lumba
Poem 8
One flower said to another
as long as the sun rises every day
As long as the moon emits it’s light
As long as the stars shine bright
As long as there are rainbows
And around it’s axis the earth rotates
As long as there is air and water too
There is hope
And love too
Let’s co exist
So what if you are sunflower
And I daffodil
Look there are lilies
And roses too here
We coexist with each other
Don’t way
A lovely bouquet we make
Each one unique in its own way
Each one beautiful in its own way
One flower said to another
Thrive
Bloom
And along with you, I shall too.
Together you and I
Shall make this place
A beautiful one
With our fragrances
and our seeds
Shall give rise to more flowers
The world shall know
The power of flowers
By Pallavi Lumba
Poem 7
The canvas was blank
awaiting to be filled
Thought of colouring it
But was not in the mood to paint
And so bought it to life
Straight from what came from within
I wrote and wrote
Just what came to mind
As is
Without a moments rest
No fear or barriers blocking the mind
Setting the soul free
Letting the heart free
letters soon shape to words
And words to sentences
Sentences then formed
A story of their own
By Pallavi Lumba
Poem 6
Stories that are conveyed
By the Footprints in the sand
Trails that are left behind
Paths walked upon
By the shore
Horizons within the reach
Dreams - those realised and not
Footprints in the sand
Washed away by the waves
What stays is but a memory.
By Pallavi Lumba
Untitled Poem 5
It’s a normal day like any other
Blaring horns I can hear
I look outside and see
Cars driving past
Oh dear, I thought
Didn’t realise
I had got used to the silence
A silence which had a beauty of its own
A silence which I could hear
A silence which made my heart beat
By Pallavi Lumba
Poem 4
Outside the window, I can see,
The blanket of sky, oh so blue
Empty roads and the sound of silence
Nature singing its own tune
Chirping birds and swaying trees
Depicting the delight that resides within
The wind blows across my face
Seems like a message
A message that conveys
Look within and around
And you shall find
Positivity that glows
Calmness that is radiated through your soul
You yourself are love
And love is you
And so, there is love all around, in peace and solitude
By Pallavi Lumba
Poem 3
Night sky
Stars shine
It seems like fairies are dancing
Sounds of thunder follow
downpour of rain
Strong winds gush through
Rustling of the trees
Lightening strikes
Then it’s dawn
The sun rays pierce through the dark cloud
Emiting it’s own light
Giving hope
Spreading love
Spirits are lifted
Birds flying in the sky
Sounds of shank, Azaan and the temple bells
For once differences are put aside
Joyous hearts
Beating as one
As messengers of hope
As emissaries of love
A shoutout to all - come let’s spread our light
By Pallavi Lumba
Poem 2
There is a soft gentle breeze
And it’s there throughout the day
The days no longer seem hot
The breeze makes for it
The birds seem happier by the day
Perching on the trees
The conversations they speak
It’s a delight hearing their voices
The day has its own charm
It’s a normal day
Devoid of the chaos
The city seems to be neater and cleaner now
Less crowded too
The heart is calmer now
The soul lighter too
By Pallavi Lumba
Poem 1
Empty Roads and Sunny Days
Clear blue skies and dancing clouds
Air that’s cool and unpolluted too
Never knew silence would be beautiful
Nights that bring some hope
The moon which shine with dignity and strength
Stars that shine oh so bright
There is hope
From dawn to dusk
Happiness, one which resides within
Joy which is a state of mind
Hope that’s the cornerstone
Fear and doubts are cast away
It’s a new day
A day which promises positivity
And boundless rays of hope
Look around and you shall see
Greener pastures and a neater city
Silence which speaks volumes
The chirping birds have a music of their own
The trees stand tall
Firmer in roots
Hear the silence and you shall know
Nature too has a story to tell
A story which says
We are bound as one
There is no difference in you and I
Cast away what you fear
Let’s spread our light
In our own way
In this journey - you and I
No matter where we come from
In this together - you and I
For you and I are one
One as humans first
One as the child, the above has created
By Pallavi Lumba
