Wings

This piece of art brings me back to the day when I so ardently desired for something bigger than life itself. It was almost difficult to even dream to see any glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel at one point in time, given the grey circumstances. But I look back with gratefulness and I am humbled by how life is so full of incredible milestones which set each season uniquely apart. Every season matters; to shape, mould, and build us to be bigger, better people. Life is so exciting, so intangibly real; a journey which brims with the intensity of dreams, hopes, desires and passions waiting to be unleashed in the many days to come.

What I wrote on this painting which depicted the melody of that particular season was this:

I want
Wings to fly
To foreign shores
To put names in the sea of faces
To live wild dreams
Unleashed to discover the beauty
Of a world unseen
Where only eagles fly
In the clear midnight sky

I want
The fear of the unknown
And the what ifs to cease
Mediocrity and security to vanish
For a life untarnished
Is a life unlived
To colour this unending blur of life
That is fading in the war of strife

I want an answer
The path to take
The decision only my heart
Can make
In the blink of an eye

I want
Wings to fly

Complicated Love

I have of recent wondered about alot of things. Of how complicated life seems to become as we grow up. Gone are the days of having to just decide between a blue or pink dress, a red or yellow lolly or plucking a purple or white flower from mom's garden. Oh the dilemmas of decision making being a six year old!

I haven't quite yet figured it out- what has changed to arrive at the conclusion of that life seems a little more complicated than it used to be? Do little girls get more complicated the older they grow? Or does life in actual fact get more complicated the longer we walk this phase called life? And the notion of love - even the simplest of all love seemed complicated for me to comprehend at a certain point in time of my journey. This is how this piece of "Complicated Love" came about.

I hope I never stop noticing the innate beauty of the simple things in everyday life and to learn to keep it as uncomplicated as it can possibly be.
