What are the POEMS to you? To Katherine, Poems are SONGS, but more than songs😊.

POEMS ARE SONGS.

Poems are but just the honest songs,

Inspired by silently weeping feelings,

Tears and happiness portrayed in ink,

Even Poet writes his heart sometimes.

Poems are songs praising all love birds,

Sweet sounds of love like xylophones,

Poet with images of the loving hearts,

He sings them a song of the love poem.

Poems are songs with burning arrows,

Misunderstanding being the Poet's life,

But at the beach wind inspires the tales,

Same tales that the poems shall then tell.

Poems are songs made by the loneliness,

But more sweet when traveler ain't alone,

For the journey is not long when is for two,

Distance from home covered by the poems.

Poems are songs of gone childhood dreams,

The unanswered cries drawn on the paper,

Only to agonise the very deadly selfish slap,

Though worthless is life with no mountains,

Poems are song but just the honest songs.

Technology has been introduced in many sectors, but do people apply them too? Do they have influence as social media has to people? Technology is an assemblage of practices and...

Hiking Day at Uluguru Mountains: A lot of reasons to conserve

Nestled in the heart of Tanzania, the Uluguru Mountains stand tall and proud, beckoning adventurers with their lush greenery, cascading waterfalls, and breathtaking panoramic views. As an avid nature enthusiast, I embarked on a hiking day at Uluguru Mountains, seeking solace from the bustling city life and an opportunity to reconnect with the pristine beauty of the natural world. It was not a first time, and surely it will not be a last time. BUT, little did I know that this expedition would prove to be a transformative journey, both physically and spiritually. The Ascent Begins With my backpack packed and a heart full of anticipation, I set foot on the trailhead around 10am. The air was crisp, and the sweet aroma of the surrounding vegetation infused my senses, drew my attention, that, it was time, time to get far and reconnect with the most beautiful and tiresome activity that am attracted to, accompanied by an experienced guide, not in such, but t...

Developing a Personal Mantra

Its been a long long long time since we were here! Anyways, happy new year 2025! I’m looking forward to sharing more stories, reflections, and snippets of daily life here. Come to "sharing", last year I got to hear a thing about "mantra" from a friend and a mentor, and this is what I firstly need to share before we dive deep in 2025. Mantras have a way of anchoring our thoughts and guiding our actions. As I approached 2025, I felt the need for a guiding principle that would not only inspire me but also provide a framework for how I navigate the year. That’s how I arrived at my mantra: Intentional Progress . This article shares my journey of developing this mantra and how it can shape my actions in the year ahead. The Importance of a Mantra A personal mantra is more than just a phrase; it’s a compass that aligns your actions with your values and goals. It serves as a reminder to stay focused and intentional, especially when life becomes overwhelming. For me, a mant...
