This is an inspirational blog that utilizes the medium of poetry and creative writing to tell stories.
Your house was made months in advance with care and consideration. It will last for decades more. Because love is the mortar that lies between burnt red bricks. And the shingled roof is reinforced with hope and painted with sweet day dreams. Your lawn is watered by bliss morning showers. Your garden is fertilized by prayers. Every morning, you arise and look out the window… The sun is always there.
Love always, Esha

Be the odd ball. The one who rarely gets everything right but dances to the beat of their own drum. Stand apart from the crowd. Yell, smile and walk to the sound of your heart beat. Surely, you have the rhythm of life marching with you against the tapping heel of aged cobblestone.
Love always, Esha

Go ahead, catch air
And leap
No rope required here
Feel the weightless ease
On free ankles
Lift eager heels
With bended knees
Nearly touching the back of hamstrings
Let gravity settle your feet
Into stable ground
When your up high
It’s hard to come down
Smile with a new found joy
Jump for happiness
That no man can destroy
Love always, Esha
Some say,
Party politics must stand
If evil is done they turn their head
Like a late kid getting hall passes
Giving out third and fourth chances
No matter the offense
Democracy was a dream
Put on a hopeful wish list
But still some say,
It’s imperfect
But this is all we have
So if we bare grievances
It’s too darn bad
Love always, Esha

There is no no lie worth living. Only the truth can withstand the storm of life. Fables pass away but reality will stand the test of time.
Love always, Esha

The problem is bigger than Hollywood. This country condones violence. It was founded on violence. This is the same country that supported the Jerry Springer Show for over 20 seasons. It turns people into objects and objectifies the voiceless. People chase success and fame like a tree eager for sun rays. What kind of society supports the belittling of actors to get awarded for Oscars they earned? We build people up to tare them down never seeing the invisible strings pulling the puppets…
What kind of society ignores the abuse of it’s citizens for public consumption? The poor and disenfranchised are ignored by those who achieve accolades. The wealthy pursue the golden fleece at the cost of their soul. But they give us antics like this to focus on and we eat it up like government cheese. Don’t be a cog in the wheel, forever turning to another’s tune.
So who is at fault Will or Rock? These are rich men. For me it doesn’t matter, I have seen gentle souls get stumped in the concrete jungle for less… I know people who have gotten their faces sliced open by razor blades. During the end of the month, I have seen cops harass common folks just for driving down the street forced to meet quotas the department is fixated on.
I just hope western society gets it’s priorities together. Because time is short, the cost of rent, gas and food is rising but the day of reckoning is long. At some point, people will look at their lives and wonder where the time went. So don’t waste it keeping up with the celebrity news of the day. It’s all a distraction anyway. This is nothing compared to the problems this pandemic has incited. Stay focused on the things that matter.
Love always, Esha

The water is of a bitter sort. It leaves no room for moist dessert. It is the bottom of a never ending well. One way leads to the glory of heaven another to the bowels of hell. The heart tells the condition of a man's soul. And it's edge is an ever winding road.
Love always, Esha
