There’s a bridge across
An ocean full of miseries.
The bridge in the mist
To a paradise beyond !
I tread through that bridge
Through the darkness and haze.
Limped through the thorns
Breaking time and space !
And then I felt….
The caressing blooms
Healing bruises of my feet !
As I dwindle to that glory
Shimmering in the eternal now !

Do you see what I see,
When I see through the lens,
The lens that magnifies
The goodness amidst chaos?
Do you feel what I feel
When I am Cleansed
With the potion of kindness,
Ignoring bruises of toxic thoughts?
Yes, I am transformed,
Hammered with feathery blows
The touch of Gratitude
Which reveals the treasures I have!

I am grateful to all the people who gave so much to me in spite of my ignorance. I am grateful to all the things nature has given to me in spite of my apathy.
Though I will never be satisfied and desire for more because it is my weakness to be seduced by worldly things. And for that, forgive me. I am just a mere soul trying to outshine the dark!

The morning comes with a new beginning, new hope, more inspiration and more positive vibes.
I couldn’t have asked more from the wonderful wordpress community for giving me 1000 followers. Let me sip my coffee which I prefer with sugar and milk and settle down with this amazing feeling, cheers everyone!
The journey so far has been more about downs than ups. I started blogging back in 2015, wrote for 2-3 months and then the gap of almost 5 years, got stuck in a rat race and struggles of life.
I am still struggling but maybe getting to see the bigger picture. You see I use the word ‘ maybe’ a lot because I am so uncertain about things. Many will think how confused I am though they will agree that-
Life is all about uncertainty. One moment you are full of happiness, the other you struggle with grief.
What I am on the scale of cosmos? Nothing, just a whisk of time fading with every single second.
So I prefer to flow with this wind and expecting every possibility of life to face.
This is a new beginning, a new challenge, a new opportunity to grow.

Indian link-
Limped, Vanquished
I treaded among the rubbles
Of million dreams, lying
Shattered around me.
I yearned for a Distant dream
But my world looked grim
Then a voice I heard, a hand
On my shoulders, “together we can!”

Answering some questions
What would you like to convey if you become the voice of Earth?
(Voice of Earth) I have seen many chaos, actually I was born out of chaos. I have seen many mass extinctions but it will be my biggest loss If I lose you, Humans! I will continue to thrive even after you, so don’t destroy yourself. It is my humble request.
What do you do for relaxation?
Reading books and listening soundtracks. Currently I am reading “All the Light We cannot see” by Anthony Doerr.
How do you attract new readers?
Well, you have to be consistent with your blog. Your content should be unique, eclectic and deep. That’s my method.
Favourite genres of music?
I love soundtracks a lot. It churns emotions in me. My favourite soundtracks are-
On the nature of daylight by I think Max Richter. It has been played in movies like Shutter Island and Arrival.
No time for caution, our destiny lies above us from Interstellar by Hans Zimmer.
The other genres which I like are Hard Rock, Punk rock, Alternative Rock. I also hear Bollywood sometimes.
Thank you for reading!
As haze dwindles
A glowing reverie
Reveals itself
With yellow blooms
A yearning, So strong
To Break the shackles
Of a grieving soul
And lie among
The glistening, Yellow petals!

Standing on the edge
Witnessing grief, frustration
Then a glimpse of Hope!

Stay safe and healthy everyone!
Trapped behind the walls
Uncertain about the future
Happiness may seem obscured
But Happiness is relentless
May even defeat time
Happiness resides where there is light
Memories of the past
Etched in our minds
May bring a flashing smile
Happiness is never alone
Seldom lingers inside solitary doors
Happiness is sharing or to share is happiness
Happiness is real when shared– Christopher McCandless

Sharing is the best gift we can give to each other and bloggers know it well. In these testing times Let’s hold our hands virtually and spread happiness to fight with this pandemic together.
And make this nightmare, a little less severe by writing and sharing our works.
Keep Sharing Happiness!
When time began
In the moment after creation
Earth was barren
And was in dark desolation
Then the Glory of God
Began with his compassion
He introduced his son
And humanity with Religion
But the humanity’s creed
Became his Greed
And he became blind
In the shadow of the dark
Epiphany of religion
Forgotten with time
Humanity killed himself
With his ignorance of light
Now Religion is weeping
With the corps of his son
Humanity is motionless
On the barren land

I stumble and fall
I tried to stand tall
While walking through darkness
But the road was slippery
And the snakes were slithering
On my way through darkness
I rose and fell
I tasted the venom
But I Persevered through darkness
Others hoped for the light
At the end of the tunnel but
I learned to love my way
Through darkness
©2020 Piyush Singh
Follow me from
Darkness to sunshine
Through the hell and paradise
I will take you
To the deepest
Corner of my heart and soul
The place where
You will find love
Hope and everything
You desired as a
Mortal soul
Your feelings, your pain
Will become mine
And everything I have
Will become yours
