I shall be uploading them today….. Pls look out for them under “Magic of the Mind” - I can not say just thanks to him, so here I express my gratitude in verse for being an inspiring flame ]

You are the wind
Which blows my flame
To burn brighter still,
You are the breeze
Which cools my soul
And makes me think!
You have fanned a fire
Out of the embers
Which even I was unaware
Lying hidden in my heart
You crush me
With questions
And the kindling thoughts
Of your mind
To create a mind in me
So absorbent, observant
Enquiring and inquisitive
That like a child
I look around with eyes
So eager, pure and joyous
To see this new world
Which you have shown me
You wing me to heights
Unknown unscaled
Ever by me before
Your thoughts and inspiration
They come like a flood
To cleanse me
From laying stagnant
Like a pool filled with dross
Introspective dwelling
On mundane, selfish, Me!
Prem! You motivate me
To reach for more than
The stars in the sky
You teach me patiently
To look about and gather
Treasures from other worlds
Which lie unexplored
Unfathomed within me!
