Past Memories by Chelvi Ganesan

Picking up whatever
you left behind for me,
Bending down and checking 
one by one,
The memories you left me with.
I silently cry.

Each second,
each minute and day.
Everything I do,
I inhale you
into my system.

No matter how far I go alone.
Or wherever I go to.
I will never be able to break free
from the one thing
your most valuable gift.
Your love.
Being the first and last.
the one and only.

Picking up whatever
you left behind for me.
I will walk forward
and never turn back to
walk the same path.
as I know
your love will guide me
to a better future.

Give Yourself a Moment

Recall a time alone,
when you called out a name;
but there was no encouragement
and nobody came.
Simply light a candle…
feel the comfort in its glow.
Soon you’ll sense a ‘Presence’
and your loneliness will go.
Refresh yourself each day…
within the candle’s ray.
Use the ‘Light’ it sheds on you…
to chase darkness away.
Give yourself a moment,
in a place where you’re apart.
Surrender in the solitude…
the burdens of your heart.
Peacefulness will follow,
bringing harmony to heal.
Light a candle as a symbol –
of a ‘Presence’ which is real
