                                               SHIV SHAKTI  He's the creator, sustainer and annihilator of the Cosmos His matted locks wear the crescent moon and the spurting river Ganges  Holding the universe in his heart, Shiva is the sky of consciousness  He is the eternal light in the abyss of despair darkness Opening his third eye can unleash a fury reducing everyone to ashes and cinder Riding on Nandi,sporting a trishul and damaru, he's Nilkantha the saviour  He is the cosmic dancer Rudra with an ash smeared body, He's Shakti, a single moment lasting an eternity Seated deep in meditation he's Bholenath the gentle; adorning rudraksh on his arms and around his neck a serpent  Shiva is a journey, an emotion, a sentiment… I bow to thee, Lord… Om Namah Shivay Har Har Mahadev! ©️ Sangeetha Kamath Pic Courtesy:Pixabay 

                                  REVIVED  She belongs to the tangerine sunsets and iridescent autumn skies;  To the roaring songs of the seas and trickling summer rain A dainty doll of china porcelain, soaking in the moonbeams And in the dappled light of foliage green  She is the sparkle and the diamond dazzle;  The serein and the mizzle She's a Goddess, a wild child, a pixie, a sprite  She believes in magic and loves the chants and hymns Celtic She's a blazing fire, she's soothing water,  A placid lake and the turbulent ocean too She likes deep talks and in the woods--- long walks Bonfire laughter, a hushed voice; hibernating from the urban noise She fears, she trembles, she's scared, she's scarred! She's adventurous, she's gracious, she sacrifices much more.  She survives, she settles, she proves her mettle She soars! She roars!  It was a dark place in the cocoon she grew,  But she persisted and broke free! She battled and won! She got her wings, she'

                        PEWTER AND JADE As pewter clouds rolled lividly and thunder echoed loud and clear The heavens unleashed tridents of lightning and cascaded pelting downpour Critters and birds hastily scattered away to hide Charcoaled grey and misty was the landscape outside Cold and chilling was the blustering wind  To our respite, toasty sunshine was muted and thinned  The trees swayed and the leaves rejoiced Against the quartz empyrean were these glossy emerald and jade green convoys Rippling on the streets were puddles and streams My spirits soared as I listened to the singing breeze  Diamonds and pearls of raindrops waltzed on my frosted window To usher in the majestic display of a shimmering rainbow. ©️ Sangeetha Kamath  Pic Courtesy:Pixabay 

                            B RONZING SUNSETS  The dreamy nights sparkled and blazing mornings shone The flaming copper and bronzing sunsets in the distant horizon When the faintest breeze could crumble and shatter her  Steadfast she stood, braving the summer storms like a wildflower A river she was, carving a path through mountains, valleys, hills and dales A will-o'-the wisp floating through moors, meadows, woods and glades Starlight drizzled through her fingers  As the wildfire in her heart crackled to an ember  The grass was not greener on the other side, the ocean was just as deep The skies were not always cloudless and powder blue, every slope was steep Blending the silence and noise in her heart full of hidden crevices  Rough patches were sewn with teardrops as were deep rooted bruises Marching to the beat of her drum  And dancing to her own rhythm  If she can't dazzle she glows softly  Always listening to the quiet whispers inside when she can't roar to glory  A dan
