turning fifty
quick it goes
gifts you get
wished to foes
morning blues
late night news
growing out of
fancy shoes
hot flashes
on a winter day
summer heat
you wish away
wearing shorts
now causing issues
flabby cheeks
excess tissues
food you eat
turns into fat
your stomach grows
your mood is flat
anti-wrinkle cream
no longer effective
the human blueprint
proven defective
it’s a myth
if we believe
there is a guru
who has it all
once we put a person
on a pedestal
above us
hiccups arise
the moment
they don’t match
our expectations
and set of values
we are upset
they were not
the guru we
thought we knew
the problem is
we are often
minimizing
ourselves
in the hope
someone
understands us
better than we do
in the process
saving us
from our demons
insecurities
the truth is
they often have
some of their own
weak spots
this is important
and inherent
part of our collective
human experience
don’t get me wrong
i for one am strong
believer in the dogma
that prevails for long
that it’s ok to be woman
that it’s ok to be man
it’s ok to be human
since the life began
the consensus is that
we all should be glad
to be living together
loneliness is pretty sad
now saying that
look inside the hat
pull out the rabbit
make sure it is not a rat
the make up looks bit tragic
perform a piece of magic
stick with the old part
undertake a change of heart
let’s get this one straight
for a miracle is never late
the outcome might surprise
even the creator the great

In your mind
One of a kind
Peace you can find
Stay still don’t move
Follow the groove
Until you improve
Occupy the space
That you sense
Of your face
Breathe in and out
Create new route
Remove all doubt
Sit within your body
Feeling like nobody
Filling the whole body
All the thoughts replace
Unity now embrace
Stop the constant chase
Be present now
Grace
