Machine

The machine says: 

Don’t compute 

Insert data 

Running numbers 

Synthesize 

Cold to the touch

Metal core 

Wires and cords 

No spirit 

Calculate 

Load…

No emotion 

Void soul 

Work is made easy 

Easy is made hard 

No tellers at the register

Orders filled online 

Digital realities 

Electronic lies 

Job once filled by humans 

Computerized 

Adding and subtracting has declined 

We lack the patience 

We ignore the delicacy of time 

Rushing to oblivion ignoring the beauty of small talk 

Forgetting the interconnected moments 

That unite us all 

Conversing with bankers 

Shopping at the mall 

Don’t compute 

Insert data 

Run the numbers 

Synthesize 

It's the technological age they say

This is evolution

Advancements is the solution

Have a life made of luxury

Love always, Esha

I read poetry throughout the segment. I also address the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial while talking about the problem with toxic relationships.  

Burning Wick

The warmth generated by the candle sways with desire. It burns with intensity, wax melts under the strain of the fire's all consuming beauty. The wick is eaten by the flame of the present circumstance. But the memory of the smell will stick around forever. The hot intensity of a dream igniting is enough to wake any slumbering soul. 


Love always, Esha <3

Call of the Shepherd

Image by Catherine Stockinger from Pixabay

Open hearts await for your call 

Horns sounds at the mention of your name 

Sadness fades at the acknowledgment of your greatness 

Fears are buried with the troubles of yesterday 

Old news has been placed on the back porch 

Shrubbery can never replace the burning bush from which you spoke 

Silent minds lay ready and eager for thoughts capable of filling them 

Let the blazing sunshine of cool truth give answers to those who seek them 

Sheep graze in the pasture waiting for a shepherd to lead them 

Even when one has gone astray, He chases after it 

And rejoices when the lamb is found 

Ready and willing to provide nourishment and encouragement to the lost

So we await the voice of the loving redeemer

We pray for blessings curious eyes have yet to see 

A brighter tomorrow gilded by the triumphant sound of victory 

We will always hearken to the call of Jesus Christ

Love always, Esha
