Salvaged by Salt
(Double Tanka & Haiku)

Tears are salvation,
Buoyant in the deep blue sea;
They ease the blues' weight.
Drifting on the roaring tides,
I grow calm and weightless, too.

Faith’s a floating flood—
I may bleed, brute and blood-red,
Yet I won’t be dead.
Sorrows baptize all my wounds—
Their salt heals what pain consumes.

It’s part of the game;
The vast ocean knows my name—
Losing bears no shame.

//Thought for the Night//

डायबेटीज हो रही है लोगों को यहाँ
क्योंकि
नमक का अहसान लोग भूल जाते है|

My Love is Like The Ocean!
Trying To Swim In it needs More Skill.
You Might Either get back to Shore Or Drawn into it, if you miss for a fraction of second.
Need More Energy spent Then Regular Swimming,
Requires Constant Energy, persistence, Perhaps Stubbornness to reach the Other side.
You would never know the length and time required to reach,
You would never know the path and direction to take,
You would never know the depth and Underlying things,
You might get Drowned if you stopped midway,
You might get lost if you get confused of the direction,
You might get stuck all alone with No help,
But one thing is for sure, it’s always Salty and will never be Sweet.
And the lasting of Saltiness, can’t be erased easily.

A dash of salt, a pinch of spice,
A simmered dream in something nice.
Tomatoes ripe, their crimson hue,
Mingling in a fragrant brew.

Golden oil like setting sun,
Garlic whispers—flavors spun.
A swirl of cream, a touch of thyme,
Savory notes in perfect rhyme.

Let it bubble, let it dance,
Spoon in hand—your final chance.
A taste of warmth, a plate of love,
A recipe kissed by stars above.

सफेद रंग में अगर वफ़ा होती
तो नमक ज़ख्मों की दवा होती ।

Let's be like salt and pepper,
together we enhance
the taste
retaining individuality

உப்பையும் உறவையும்
அளவோடு கையாலும்வரை ஆபத்து நமக்கில்லை...

Availability is a pinch of salt; too much is salty, and too little is bland.

You are the salt of the earth. The Lord said.

Now, imagine yourself as a salt factory of mind-boggling worth. The key ingredient that brings food to life with an amazing taste. Wow! Salt is priceless, you know? So why go search elsewhere? You possess the power to add taste to the world because it lives within you, my dear. Yeah, you! The creation of every individual is a deliberate act of the Lord, God. Salt is not only for cooking but also for treating wounds. In the end, if we all come to realize the salt of incredible worth we carry inside us, rather than seeking elsewhere, let us cultivate our inner selves and become the salt of the earth.

Dear Lord, let our speech be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that we may know how to answer everyone we pray in Jesus’ name.
Amen.

Matthew 5:13-16 NKJV

“You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
