Poetry

Gratitude is what I find, With friends   with words of kind soft voices Of blessings in disguise guiding me like angels Showing me of right and wrong directions. Gratitude is what I find, with an editor Mentoring me with words of sentences to Paragraphs and more. Gratitude,   is what I find with a dance teacher Guiding me as if a five year old starting to walk And flowing gently from walking to dancing In circles gently making expressions with eyes and hands And feet. Gratitude is what I find in a father who makes her daughter laugh And jokes with her as if she is still a child at heart. Gratitude is what I find with a husband taking care of his children With so much love and giving his wife the greatest shelter and comfort She needs. Gratitude is what I find with a mother who is happy to see her grandchildren And cooks for them with such affection. Gratitude is what I find with a brother who speaks to his sister Straight forward and speaks

I picture it in my dreams. The waves and the cool breeze  Make me feel at ease. I hear the subtle sound  of the ocean in my mind. Its no surprise with me dreaming and laying there by its landslide. There's an ocean in years I haven't seen, Its multicolored colors all mixed inside. Like a Kaleidoscope radiant blue As eyes of a beauty in her twentie's Laying by her lover feeling the ocean waves at shore. There's an ocean in years I haven't seen where I feel a silence that's deep within. I am in complete balance as I feel the waves reach my feet beneath There's an ocean in years I haven't seen. I imagine it in my dreams.                                                               copyright@Vinita Singh  July 29, 2014
