Trusting the Process!!!

Running for success through days n nights

We hide from dark, in search light.

What’s the use of one when the other’s never faced

How to bless peace when wars never aced.

If the life was a smooth, silky little road

With no bumps or humps, without any load

Wonder will you learn a journey any worth

Better is a toad’s life in bounded earth.

It’s the setback that teaches patience

And the problems ask not to hasten

Though an unknown way, but still on the move

Will discover my pass, will learn my groove.

(Samima Shah-Faheem)

Life in Clichés!

Though we all want our lives

Spiced with thrill of strays

But can’t ignore its essence

Play consistency in dullness n frays.

Never settle for less

Having more isn't enough, they say

Happiness, grief a share

When going gets tough, give a little sway.

We want love like all

 Follow same pattern of nights n days

Sometimes peace is being a sand dune

 Life can be lived at times in clichés.

(Samima)

Transition!!

Some stations can’t be owned
Memories crowded, yet feels alone
So, on transition lane we are

Reminding destiny; 'to home'.

Where to end, from where we begun

 A tale once told, very skill fully spun

Fate n success, were all meant to be

Together in a place called Kingdom of Sun.

Its known, haze finally clears

And joys come after buckets of tears

Then why to sorrow, and fear in spheres

Ignorance is blessing, known to cheers.

(Samima)

A Starry Night!!

While gazing the stars at night

Grabbed idea of my trivial presence

Such pure inconsequence caused fright.

Expanded was my belief in Him

I’m nothing yet reasoning’on lens

What a daredevil who's destination s light.

To gain or to lose, haven’t viewed

But crossed thresholds & tipped fence

Life whispered, ‘All struggle to shine stellar bright’.

(Samima)

Let go!!

I've grown out and broken your spell

Free as a bird, destined to marvel.

Your wickedness and foul play, left behind

Vileness now doubled as echoed and repelled.

Confound in devilry, with a mark of Cain

You are a prisoner of mind who’s hard to impel.

A farewell, a departure, a covert blessing

Such a finale, tale love to retell.

Found that peace of soul and beyond

All  knots untied, nothing to unravel.
My destiny, way ahead; my journey though long

But far from treachery, & bound to excel.

(Samima)

Two Realities....

Two realities come tagged in life,

 Choices n Change, as constant drive.

Inevitable choices are & important change is;

It’s choice budding change or change sprouting choices.

Opportunities and possibilities bring hopes big,

Fate beyond control, but choice is our pick.

Stay calm and opt best;

Making world worth living for self n rest.

(Samima)

Stories!!

The tingle while riding air

Tasting flavors of life everywhere,

Receiving praise of grandeury

Remember? There’s an end to all glory

Everyone is living a story.

It’s love that takes hype

Or hate, consuming life,

Day s in n out all same

On recall many shades; some cushy, other gory

Everyone is living a story

Some come with family name;

Others with tribe to flaunt fame,

Some torch (people) houses, others light hope flame,

Choices make some shame, others proud with glory

Everyone is living a story.

(Samima)

Words Undone!

Some words leave us stun

Tears, which slit heart;

And its soul, that burns.

Though phase gets blurry

 Feelings lighter by every second;

But impressions are deep, with many lessons.

 Relations seems barren

And bonds without stem;

Words can be violent, as weapons.

So little mind before words;

Opinions need some reckon

As bitter words just can’t be undone.

(Samima)

Time Turns!!

Time has a habit of turning tables;

When good days come, bad seems fable.

But things never stayed temperate in course,

Man must learn ways n ride its wild horse.

Ones on high perch must keep in mind;

 Phase not lasting, only an ephemeral passing.

If today flaunting position or glittery crown,

Tomorrow throne's a circus in the hands of a clown.

Lore is whispering; show clemency at all times

But drift responds; flash in good and drag in grimes.

The prudent stays calm in realities of life,

Enlightened in dark, foresee opportunities & thrive.

(Samima)

Tao Te Ching (67)

Everyone says that my way of life is the way of a simpleton.
Being largely the way of a simpleton is what makes it worth while.
If it were not the way of a simpleton
It would long ago have been worthless,
These possessions of a simpleton being the three I
choose
And cherish:
To care,
To be fair,
To be humble.
When a man cares he is unafraid
When he is fair he leaves enough for others,
When he is humble he can grow;
Whereas if, like men of today, he be bold without caring,
Self-indulgent without sharing,
Self-important without shame,
He is dead.
The invincible shield
Of caring
Is a weapon from the sky
Against being dead.

(translation by Witter Bynner)

Mohammad Ali - (Quote)

Keeping Standards High!

Always keep your standards high. Read good books, listen and learn from people of high mores. All these things will unclutter your thoughts and perception of the world.  It ain't very hard to attain, just don't surrender for anything of lesser value. Standards will be high and valued at the same time. (Samima)

Token of Life (by Samima)

When life gives a token to retrospect

Smile for good & learn from bad days

Permeate through past, let never invade

It’s the memory lane not cliches.

Man is nature’s best marvel,

Unique in his own state

Deals with adventures in life

And survives its monotony, when overplayed.

Wisdom is to keep on running

No matter how long or what it takes

The destination is already set

But paramount is the joy one makes.

Don’t count others favors

Or say their grass is Green

Stems only bitterness

Water your turf, keep it clean.

Be grateful, never forgrant blessings

Explore creativity, will set you fly

Love the life and the people around

Feet on ground, yet gaze very high.

Your life is your gift from God,

The rest stays Inconsequential

 This recall will bring smile to your face

 Glee would be vast, bliss quintessential.

Wisdom1 (by Samima)

Nowadays, emotions and weapons never wins u anything. Let it be an argument or  a battle.Its  keen observations, wise strategy and patience that triumphs. Your warrior nature can be your biggest weakness.

Wisdom 0.1

some like it hot, but heres a secret t' unfold

 revenge is a dish, best serve cold

(Samima)

Information to Wisdom

Gathering Information

Extending to madness,

Stacking is there

No coherence is pure sadness.

Rationality is certain,

When understanding’s in accord.

Knowledge will be the product

Intelligence there, yet to explore.

Wisdom is still

Another Battlefield

Victors of prior

 Have the Power to Unseal

(Samima)
