Ink
Ink

Speak, sing, write, act
Till your voice can no more
And your face can’t twitch a muscle
And your hand cramps and becomes sore
With blisters and splotches of ink and blood
But don’t stop
Don’t be a passer by
The one who sees but never does
Don’t be inanimate
Give those homeless words
That you see on the side of the street,
Known in the deep crevices of your mind
Don’t let them stay cold, hungry, unloved…
Give the words a place
to call home, paper
Give them ink

Simran

After spending 15 years on this earth I have begun to understand the seasons…
Sometimes I’m like the seasons…constantly changing but usually predictable…
But most of the times I’m like the water… moving, flowing, discovering new paths… brimmed to the top with poetry, life and curiosity… learning the old philosophies of the lands I travel through and capturing them as art.
