We entered the tunnel, and our shadow selves were revealed, the only light a small glint living in each other’s eyes. Was it always there, or did the dark make a place for it? We did not blink, and somewhere in us, the part that had only known to find the dark in the other…

Cry me riversstill waiting to be mapped in another galaxy.My emotions rehearse themselveson a worldly stage of false fallaciesWords drift in the ether, circling, circlingall of them unfinished,all of them searching.Suppressed stories of the childfind its way on the pages of timeThe myths of humankindrepeat in the salt of our tearsThe lost, the unnamed,their pain…

I can’t wait to feel the sorrow.It came late, but I still follow.The light returns to whatever heavenit came from,And I turn my backto not feel the shine of love,to feel all the lack.How can it be truewhen lies are all I gather?How can it be truewhen I don’t seem to bother?I observe my gradual…

A gentle ghost drifts behind the clouds,waking from its slumber in the nightThe moon’s fable whispers an eternal taleof guarding the shoresfrom the ocean’s rageBut when the sun claims the stage,it slips behind the curtain,yet remains,a hidden storytellerfor those who choose to look,and to listen.It murmurs:“Everything you knowcarries another truth,quietly glowing,lingering at the edges of…

Are ten seconds enough to change the mind?Ten seconds at the edge of chaos,ten seconds where order unravels,ten seconds where the human storm begins.A reel flickers answers,but the question still burns:Can you embody wisdom in seconds?Are ten seconds enough to change the body?Ten seconds to forget the slow work of process,ten seconds to drink wisdom…

[549] The Power of Silence
![[549] The Power of Silence](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/img_2939.jpg)
In the silence, I finally sensed everyone’s inner lives. Some sit with their thoughts, some write down what they ignore during conversations, some switch places, denying their bodies the gift of stillness, and some meditate on God. Each person is at a different stage in life, yet all face similar battles within themselves.Silence is the…
