Live the Light You Wish to See

:By Sūnraaz 



Be healthy to spread health’s true light,

Let body and soul feel pure and bright.

Be happy to spread joy’s warm light,

Let laughter take wings and hearts in flight.


Be gentle, for gentle shapes the right,

Be steady, though storms may cloud the sight.

Be humble, for pride can block the light,

Yet humble hearts shine in darkest night.


Be what you wish the world to be,

A beacon of hope for all to see.

Give love that is deep, sincere, and right,

And watch how the world turns wrong to right.

  Embarking on My Poetic Odyssey: By: Sunil@SR “Sunraaz”, My Takhallus (Pen Name) In pursuit of conveying more through less, I find myself embracing the timeless adage -  “Brevity is the soul of wit” - or as our own idiom beautifully renders it, “Gaagar mein Saagar”. To encapsulate the vastness of thought within the elegance of a few well-chosen words is an art I have long admired. Poetry has been a cherished companion since my earliest years. I recall, even in my 5th or 6th standard, the spirited attempts to weave my own verses - only to find that my choicest words often eluded the precise rhythm and meter. Despite innumerable trials and modest failures, the passion endured, quietly smouldering within. Now, after journeying through numerous essays and blogs, I feel an irresistible call to return to that childhood ardor - to give voice to my innermost musings in the distilled form of poetry. Hence, I embark on a new literary sojourn: a commitment to compose and share one poem ...
