Speaks where words fall short,
Language born of quiet thoughts,
Tender hold, gentle and dear,
Pulsating love, draws us close.

Moments of joy, whispers bright,
"I'm happy for you."
Waves of sorrow, softly cries,
"I'm here for you."

Bridging hearts, uniting souls,
Silence reigns, connection unfolds,
Trembling palms or steady clasp,
Anchors hope, grips heart.

Crowded rooms or empty space,
Carries warmth, leaves a trace,
Simple act, profound and true,
A hand squeeze that says, "I'm with you."

-

Strumming on loop,
A song of gratitude,
For friends and strangers,
Of their grace and embrace.

-

The sky stretched endlessly,
Pure, unbroken blue,
No clouds, no interruptions,
Alike an infinite sea above.

-

The best conversations are those
where you can learn without fear
of judgement and educate without
the weight of pride.

They constantly surprise you. You are just amazed at how uncomplicated they are. Their simplicity in everything is both humbling and admirable. They feel your wounds without inhibitions. They sense your pain as though it were their own. It's as though your healing brings them peace. Celebrating your little wins even more fervently than you ever will. Their gentle gestures mean more than words ever could. Silent, yet profoundly felt. This, truly, you reckon, is only the beginning of a wish-fulfilling love.

A memoir of memories

She realised the power of
her words in the embrace
of his reciprocation.

The windstorm had snapped the stem off the plant. Though it was mostly broken, a small part of it remained tenuously attached. Amma thought they wouldn't survive, but I didn't have the heart to snip them off. I just let them be. Days later, buds sprang up, blossomed into flowers, and the lady finger began to grow from that very stem. It's amazing, isn't it? Challenges can bend us, even break us, but the human spirit continues to thrive and survive in the most unfavourable circumstances. Lessons and reminders of resilience are omnipresent in nature.

Shared vulnerability creates
emotional intimacy.

The fragrance of love lingers
in the air we both breathe.
