“My eyes constantly seek
the rainbow of my dreams
and I sometimes fail
to be grateful for raindrops
that keeps my hope alive”
Vijaya Gowrisankar

“The road to recovery may be tough,
but I've closed all the doors
that lead to giving up

With only one choice in hand,
I am focused on healing”
Vijaya Gowrisankar

“Every hurt buried deep
in the mind
has an uncanny ability
to surface and make
its presence felt
when I am feeling low,
hugging me
like a long lost friend”

Making Connections: 4750. - SAVOUR by Vijaya Gowrisankar 3 8 Jun 19, 2017 02:56AM  
“I didn't survive
the storm outside
to allow anyone
(including myself)
to erode my soul”
Vijaya Gowrisankar

“The road to recovery may be tough,
but I've closed all the doors
that lead to giving up

With only one choice in hand,
I am focused on healing”
Vijaya Gowrisankar

“I plan for all obstacles,
I prepare with care,
I worry endlessly
for the road ahead

In all this, I forget
to enjoy small moments
of my present journey”
Vijaya Gowrisankar

“The smell of cars' smoke
as I wade through traffic
overshadows the fresh
fragrance of Mother Earth
drenched in rain. There can
be no greater testimony
to man's progress”
Vijaya Gowrisankar

“Yes, my scars shape me
Today, I have learnt to cover
it with fabric made of hope,
faith, perseverance, and
determination. For this,
I am grateful to life”
Vijaya Gowrisankar
