Star.

Once a star of a long lost galaxy

I now am mortal of few tendencies

My hands are shaky

My gait slow n weak

What point life arrived

Looking back feels weary

 I had once a river of love in me

Ended in sea of grief ... shortly

Wrath and anger consumed me all

 I was my life’s own adversary

Haste made my present invisible

Regrets magnified faults to infinity

Regrets are for the bounded ones

Remorse for the ones in captivity

The freedom of choice, to live as wish

Is your own, not other’s luxury

Then why you limit yourself as a star

When the universe is flowing in artery.

Such vastness of thought

Such awe in imagery

Physical strengths were a bonus

Provided for early mastery

Your ideas made you special

Not hercs or maiden personality

So be your own hero

Create your moons and Sun

Gloominess is not the very option

Hope will rescue all torn n weary

Get up and stand for your own self

Show the world your shiny destiny.

(Samima Shah-Faheem)

In a mood.

My morning was shining

My day went right

It’s better to live on

Without usual regret bites.

I am in a mood for love & laughter

No more worries I now can bear

When Life is to live, our only option

Why not with cheers, some tagged tears

I have seen many bragging blessed starts

While other whining about storm hitting hard

Little by little, things move, time passes

Embrace uncertainty as life’s reward

It will end soon while we wonder

Was it worth it, was that right

The shadows will stay murky till their very end

But clarity will tear darkness like the beacons of light.

(Samima Shah-Faheem)

This too shall pass!!

You did your best

But things went wrong,

 All efforts pointless;

Some days are very long.

The Rain will stop

The sun will smile,

 Life will be great;

But wait a little while.

Use the patience key;

That unlocks many gates.

Its Lessons very lasting;

But embracing isn’t straight.

So, don’t lose hope

 And give your best,

Despair is corruption

Wait for the best.

Believe in yourself,

As sorrows will harass.

But Life takes turns

This too shall pass.

(Samima)

Spring is Here

Daisies are dancing

And Dandelions watching

Grass flaunting her green

Winter gone; now spring is the Queen

See daffodils and tulips

 Lilacs or Muscari's pointy tips

It’s beautiful transition, but won’t stay

Months are March, April and May

Notice the blossom on cherry tree

Blooming Sakura worth to see

Flying around are the honey bees

God I want this time to seize.

Spring brought new life and hope

Eternal Fall isn't easy to cope

So, sit and enjoy nature’s spree

Blessing of life abundant and free.
