The Wheel of time
Spins and weaves the threads of fate
A pattern of ages, a tapestry of lives
The heroes and villains, the light and the dark
The Dragon Reborn, the Aes Sedai, the Forsaken
All play their roles in the cosmic drama
The Wheel of time
Turns and shapes the world anew
A cycle of breaking, a cycle of healing
The lands and peoples, the cultures and wars
The prophecies and legends, the magic and lore
All form the history of the epic saga
The Wheel of time
Moves and tests the hearts of men
A challenge of courage, a challenge of will
The choices and actions, the hopes and fears
The love and loyalty, the betrayal and pain
All reveal the character of the human spirit
The Wheel of time
No one can escape its design
A destiny of balance, a destiny of change
The wheel of time.

In the End
When humanity exhausts the last fish, Exhumes all that remains, Severs the final tree, And devours the last drop of pure water, Only then will they perceive the devastation wrought by their hands.
Our tears, a paltry offering, Unable to hydrate and nurture the fruits of our actions.
Only forgiveness and compassion for ourselves can avert this looming disaster.
Our future hangs in the balance, Blowing in the hurricanes and tornadoes, Quaking the earth and shaking our souls to the core.
Yet silence stifles the world’s cries, Ignorance, a virulent disease that consumes our tears and steals our breath, For the sake of popular opinion.
There is no freedom after suffocation.
Climate change, a grim reality, no longer a jest.

Solstice
Oh, solstice, time of turning,
When light and dark convene,
A cosmic dance of balance,
A sacred pause unseen.In summer’s radiant splendor,
The sun ascends its throne,
A fiery ball of brilliance,
That warms us to the bone.At winter’s darkest vigil,
When night’s embrace is deep,
A glimmer of rebirth awakes,
As shadows gently creep.Solstice, sacred threshold,
Where worlds collide and blend,
A timeless mystery unfolds,
A story yet unpenned.Let us gather on this day,
To celebrate the light,
To honor darkness too,
And all that lies between.For in the dance of opposites,
We find our perfect place,
A cosmic tapestry of life,
Where time and space embrace.Solstice, time of turning,
When light and dark convene,
A sacred pause for wonder,
Where dreams and magic teem.balance, blend, brilliance, celebrate, Collide, convene, cosmic dance, cosmic tapestry, dark, darkest vigil, dreams, fiery ball, gather, glimmer of rebirth, honor, life, light, magic, night’s embrace, Opposites, perfect place, Poetry, radiant splendor, sacred pause, shadows, solstice, space, Story, summer, sun, threshold, throne, Time, timeless mystery, turning, winter, wonder, worlds

What Goes Around
What you do to others,
Will come back to you.
So be kind and generous,
And always do what’s true.If you spread hate and anger,
You’ll reap the same in kind.
But if you sow love and compassion,
You’ll find your heart will find.What goes around comes around,
So be mindful of your deeds.
For the universe has a way,
Of balancing all the creeds.So choose to be the change you want to see,
And make the world a better place.
For what goes around comes around,
And that’s a fact of life, my dear.

The Mind and the Soul
The mind is a complex thing,
With thoughts and feelings that can swing,
From high to low, from dark to light,
It’s a mystery to all but night.The soul is a different matter,
It’s something that we can’t chatter,
It’s the essence of who we are,
It’s the reason we can feel and scar.So when the mind and soul are in conflict,
It can be a very difficult rift,
But if we can find a way to balance,
We can find true happiness and romance.

The Art of Balance
Live in the looping moment of balance,
Where peace and harmony coexist in silence.
A state of being, where all is in flow,
And the heart and mind, are in perfect glow.
The art of balance, is a delicate dance,
Where each step taken, is a chance to enhance.
The beauty of life, in its infinite form,
And the wonder of nature, in its perfect norm.
So let us embrace, the art of balance and grace,
And live each day, with a smile on our face.
For the world is full of wonder, waiting to be found,
In the simple joys of life, that truly astound.

The Law of Karma
Karma isn’t equal,
It’s not a simple sequel,
Of good or bad deeds,
That one does or misleads.
It’s a complex force,
That steers life’s course,
A balance of energy,
That shapes one’s destiny.
What you give, you receive,
Is what many believe,
But the truth is deeper,
And sometimes much steeper.
The law of karma is just,
But it’s not always a must,
For life is full of surprises,
And fate often improvises.
So do good without expectation,
And avoid negative temptation,
For the law of karma will prevail,
And your soul will surely unveil.

It Was Tasty and Intoxicating
It Was Tasty and Intoxicating
It was tasty and intoxicating, that first sip of gin,
A world of flavor, that’s hard to begin,
The juniper, it sparkled, with a hint of lime,
A world of pleasure, that’s hard to confine.The warmth, it spread, with each passing sip,
A world of relaxation, that’s hard to outstrip,
The memories, they linger, of nights so fine,
A world of indulgence, that’s hard to decline.But even as I sip, this drink so divine,
I’m reminded of balance, and a world so benign,
For even in pleasure, there’s a need to define.balance, Define, Flavor, gin, indulgence, intoxicating, Juniper, Lime, pleasure, poem, poems, Poetry, relaxation, Tasty

Mild and Moderate Weather: The Perfect Balance for Outdoor Activities
What is your favorite type of weather?
Mild and Moderate Weather: The Perfect Balance for Outdoor Activities
As a resident of Mumbai, I know all too well the importance of mild and moderate weather. For many of us, the ideal weather is not too hot or too cold, but rather a moderate or mild temperature that allows us to comfortably enjoy outdoor activities. Whether it’s going for a walk along Marine Drive or spending time in one of Mumbai’s many beautiful parks, mild and moderate weather provides the perfect balance of comfort and enjoyment.
Mild and moderate weather can vary depending on the time of year, but generally falls between 15-25 degrees Celsius (59-77 degrees Fahrenheit). This temperature range allows for a pleasant outdoor experience without being too hot or too cold. It’s not too chilly where you need to bundle up in layers or too hot where you need to constantly seek shade or air conditioning.
One of the best things about mild and moderate weather is that it allows for a wide range of outdoor activities. You can go for a leisurely walk, have a picnic in the park, or simply sit outside and enjoy the beautiful scenery. It’s also the perfect weather for outdoor sports, such as cricket or football. With mild and moderate weather, you can get outside and enjoy the fresh air without worrying about extreme temperatures.
Another benefit of mild and moderate weather is its positive impact on our health and well-being. Spending time outside in moderate temperatures has been shown to reduce stress levels, improve mood, and boost our immune systems. It also provides an opportunity to get some much-needed Vitamin D from the sun, which is essential for strong bones and overall health.
In conclusion, as a resident of Mumbai, I can attest to the importance of mild and moderate weather. It allows us to enjoy the fresh air and beautiful scenery without being too hot or too cold. Whether you’re going for a walk along the beach, playing sports, or simply spending time outside with loved ones, moderate weather provides the ideal conditions for a fun and comfortable outdoor experience. So, next time the weather is mild or moderate in Mumbai, don’t hesitate to get outside and soak it all in!

Shadows and Sunbeams
Shadows and Sunbeams
Shadows and sunbeams dance their play
One will darken, one will light the way
Together they create a world of contrast
One that is both eerie and vastBut when the sun sets and the shadows are gone
The world turns dim and the light is none
Yet even then, we know the sun will rise
And the dance between shadow and light will materialize

Plus Equals Minus
Plus Equals Minus
Plus equals minus, a paradox of sorts,
Perplexing problem, a brain that contorts.
Puzzling predicament, a mind to test,
Profound paradox, a thought to digest.Pleasure and pain, a pairing so strange,
Potential positives, a flip of the range.
Passionate pursuits, a heart’s desire,
Persistent problems, a mind’s quagmire.Paradoxical perception, a curious view,
Peaceful presence, a mind that grew.
Plus equals minus, a balance to find,
Peaceful mind, a life so kind.

Vertigo’s Embrace
Vertigo’s Embrace
I feel a sudden dizziness
As I look down from the edge
The world is spinning in my eyes
And I lose my sense of balanceI feel a surge of fear
As I realize I might fall
The ground is far below me
And I hear a distant callI feel a grip of panic
As I try to hold on tight
The wind is pushing me away
And I struggle with all my mightI feel a touch of calmness
As I accept my fate
The sky is clear above me
And I embrace the vertigo’s weight

Light and Darkness
Light and Darkness
In the beginning, there was but one,
A void of blackness, without the sun,
Until a spark, a flicker of light,
Pushed back the dark and ended the night.But even still, the darkness remains,
A force that forever will maintain,
Its grasp on all that the light gives birth,
A balance maintained on the edge of earth.So too in life, we find this fight,
Between the shadows and the light,
A battle waged within our souls,
As we strive towards our ultimate goals.For light brings hope and joy and peace,
While darkness offers no release,
A constant struggle, a tug of war,
Between the light we seek and the dark we abhor.Yet in this dance of light and dark,
We find the beauty, the vital spark,
For without the darkness, the light would fade,
And with it, all the beauty it made.So let us embrace both light and dark,
And find the balance that leaves a mark,
Of love and beauty, joy and pain,
A life fully lived, in sunshine and rain.

Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide
Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide
Oxygen and carbon dioxide, a balance we must maintain,
But trees are disappearing, and the balance is in pain.
We take for granted the air we breathe, the life it gives to us,
But without the trees, the air is toxic, and our health is in a fuss.The trees are our friends, our saviors, and our protectors too,
They give us shade, food, and shelter, and help the air renew.
But we cut them down without a thought, for wood or paper or land,
And forget that we’re destroying the balance, that nature has planned.So let’s save the trees, protect them, and let them grow,
And keep the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in flow.
For the air we breathe is precious, a gift we cannot waste,
Let’s save the trees, and make the world a better, healthier place.

Tussle of Heart and the Mind
Tussle of Heart and the Mind
The tussle of heart and the mind, a battle within,
A struggle between reason and emotion, a constant din.
The heart seeks love, passion, and desire,
While the mind looks for logic, facts, and fire.The heart wants to follow its dreams and take risks,
While the mind holds back, hesitant, and brisk.
The heart yearns to live life to the fullest,
While the mind cautions, be careful, and thoughtful.The heart feels deeply, with every beat,
While the mind analyzes, dissects, and treats.
The heart seeks connection, intimacy, and trust,
While the mind questions, probes, and adjusts.In the end, the tussle continues, a never-ending fight,
But it’s the balance of heart and mind that makes things right.
For when the two work together, in harmony and grace,
That’s when we find our purpose, our passion, and our place.© VishalDutia

Joy and Sorrow
Joy and Sorrow
Joy and sorrow, intertwined they are,
Two sides of life’s ever-spinning star,
One brings happiness, the other pain,
Together they dance, again and again.In times of joy, we cherish the light,
In times of sorrow, we seek respite,
For in this balance, we find our way,
To live, to love, and to hope each day.

Forgive but Don’t Forget
Forgive but Don’t Forget
Forgiveness is a powerful thing,
A gift we give, to heal the sting.
A chance to move on, and start anew,
To let go of the pain, and find peace too.But forgiving doesn’t mean forgetting,
The hurt and pain, that we’ve been letting.
For we must remember, the lessons learned,
And move forward, with the bridges burned.Forgive but don’t forget, this is the key,
To find the balance, and set ourselves free.
For we must move on, but keep in mind,
The lessons learned, and the ties that bind.With forgiveness comes, a chance to grow,
To find the strength, to let it go.
To move forward, with hope and grace,
And find the peace, in a better place.

Mind and Heart
Mind and Heart
The mind and heart, a curious pair,
One thinks, the other feels.
Together, they navigate life’s affairs,
And guide us through its reels.The mind, a beacon of reason and thought,
A navigator of logic and sense.
The heart, a guide of emotion and sought,
A compass of feeling, intense.The mind may plan, the heart may yearn,
But together, they find the way.
A balance of logic and passion, they learn,
A harmony that brightens each day.So let us trust both mind and heart,
And let them work in tandem.
For in their union, we’ll find our part,
And a life that’s truly grand.

Beauty in the Balance
Beauty in the Balance
In the balance of life’s great design,
Beauty and chaos intertwine,
From the swirling storm to the calmest sea,
Nature’s beauty is meant to be.The balance of light and shadow,
Of joy and pain, of high and low,
A tapestry of life we sew.

Love and Heartbreak
Love and Heartbreak
Love and heartbreak, two sides of one coin,
A dance of joy and sorrow intertwined,
A fragile balance, easily undone.In love’s embrace, our hearts are buoyant,
Yet when it fades, we’re left behind,
Love and heartbreak, two sides of one coin.The pain of loss, so sharp and poignant,
A wound that lingers, hard to unwind,
A fragile balance, easily undone.But still we seek the love that’s poignant,
With hope that this time, it will be kind,
Love and heartbreak, two sides of one coin.For love is worth the risk and disappointment,
And heartbreak is the price we pay in kind,
A fragile balance, easily undone.So let us cherish every love we’ve coined,
And face heartbreak with an open mind,
Love and heartbreak, two sides of one coin,
A fragile balance, easily undone.

Binary Bliss
Binary Bliss
In binary bliss, we find,
A world of ones and zeroes in our mind,
The digital realm, our modern home,
Where bytes and pixels endlessly roam.A place of endless possibility,
Where every dream can become reality,
But in this world of binary delight,
Let’s not forget the human insight.© VishalDutia

The Digital Age
The Digital Age
Welcome to the digital age,
Where screens have become our stage,
And every thought can be expressed,
With the tap of a button pressed.We’ve traded pen and paper,
For keyboards and computer vapor,
And in this virtual world we’ve built,
Our every dream can now be fulfilled.We’ve created a universe of our own,
Where we can connect and feel less alone,
And though the world may seem so vast,
We can navigate it all with just a few clicks and a fast.But with this power, comes a cost,
As we forget what it means to get lost,
In the beauty of the world outside,
And the simple pleasures of life.We’re so plugged in, we forget to unplug,
And sometimes it feels like we’re just a bug,
In this digital web we’ve weaved,
And in our own devices, we’re deeply ensheathed.So let’s remember to take a break,
And enjoy the world that’s ours to make,
For though the digital age may be grand,
There’s still so much to discover, firsthand.© VishalDutia

The algorithm’s song
The algorithm’s song
The algorithm’s song, so sweet and clear,
Predicting our wants, year after year,
A symphony of data, played with ease,
Turning our preferences into degrees.It knows us better than we know ourselves,
Making choices based on our digital selves,
But as the algorithm’s melody plays on,
Let’s not forget to write our own song.© VishalDutia

A revolution of tech we see,
Transforming lives with its decree,

New possibilities we undertake,

Let’s not forget the human feel.© VishalDutia

Karma and Dharma
Version 1
Karma and Dharma, twin paths we tread, One guides our actions, the other our thread, For every thought and deed, a karmic seed, A cosmic balance that we must heed.

Karma and Dharma,
Paths of cause and righteousness,
Guide our souls to peace.© VishalDutia

Negative equals Positive
We need negativity
It’s the only thing more potent than the potion of positivity
While we concern ourselves with the priority of support that positivity brings
Negativity is what makes up move
It’s the faults we strive to perfect
In the aspect of perfect
Perfect itself is seen as positive to the point of negative outcomes
To pick on looks or physical attributes
To be stepped on
These are the negative effects of favoritism
That let humans know they are humans to other humans in the best of ways
It’s the negative the humbles
And the positive that opens possibilities
Only to fall on the cushionIt’s the negative that wraps the fear into a burrito and the positivity that plates it on hope
It fills us while the other gives flavor
And while you might disagree
I am just talking about human equality.
