A reminder that echoes through the deep chambers of the heart, That the spirit you cherished ....
By Rabindranath Tagore
Peace, my heart, let the time
for the parting be sweet.
Let it not be a death but completeness.
Let love melt into memory and pain into songs.
Let the flight through the sky end
in the folding of the wings over the nest.
Let the last touch of your
hands be gentle
like the flower of the night.
Stand still, O Beautiful End,
for a moment, and say your
last words in silence.
I bow to you and hold up my lamp
to light you on your way.
By Memoona Mukhtar
I dream of starry nights and a full moon,
I dream of flowers blossoming in gardens,
I dream of pine trees and
towering mountains,
I dream of rivers flowing freely,
Surrounded by brick walls,
As smog fills the air outside.
I dream of sitting in a garden,
Listening to birds chirping,
While the world rushes towards progress.
Come, let’s become climate change activists.
Come, let’s plant more trees.
Come, let’s reconnect with nature.
Come, let’s play our part in
saving our beloved Earth.
By Syeda Maqsoom
Listen, these moments are fleeting,
Like whispers carried on the breeze,
A gentle sigh that dances through the leaves,
Love, tender and fragile, embrace it,
Savour it like the last sunlight of day,
For time slips away unnoticed,
And the heart beats softly, waiting.
It is quite possible, you see,
That one day, on the wings of the wind,
You may receive a message, soft and sweet,
Like a feather falling gently to the ground,
A reminder that echoes through the deep chambers of the heart,
That the spirit you cherished,
Though no longer present, still lingers near.
You were the light in their eyes,
The laughter on their lips,
The solace in their weary souls,
Yet life is a tapestry woven with threads unseen,
And the challenges we face often pull us apart,
As the fabric of existence stretches and frays.
So, breathe in these moments,
Inhale the scent of blooming flowers,
Feel the warmth of a shared gaze,
Listen to the stories your hearts tell,
Under the canopy of stars,
In the hush of night, when silence reigns.
Do not let the burdens of tomorrow
weigh you down,
For love is an anchor, it holds you steady,
Even when the waves of doubt crash against your shore,
Find joy in the simplicity of togetherness,
In the laughter shared over simple meals,
In the solace found in quiet conversations.
Every heartbeat, every touch,
Is a thread that ties you to the universe,
A reminder that you are never truly alone,
Even in the shadows of loss,
The memories glow like distant lights,
Guiding you through the darkest of nights.
So hold on tightly to what is real,
To the love that weaves through your being,
For those fleeting moments, though brief,
Are the essence of what it means to be.
Let them surround you like a warm embrace,
An eternal promise whispered on the wind.
And should that message come someday,
Carried by the breeze like a classic poem,
Know that they are still with you,
In the laughter, in the tears,
In every moment painted with the hues of love,
As time immortalizes your shared story,
A timeless testament to a bond unbroken.
So listen, dear heart, to these moments,
Fill them with love, with life,
with everything true,
For they are the chapters of your beautiful tale,
Written softly in the language of existence,
An ode to the love you carry,
A reminder that you are cherished,
forever and always.
