Poem : 🌷 Our Own Miracles...
Poetess : Tilottama Vijay Lele

Our each n every dream can come true...
When heart is ready to carry it through…

Dreams R not like parachutes,
They’re towering-trees n growing shoots

They're tall like mighty mountains,
For us to grow strong n be good humans

We sow seeds n whisper wishes to d soil
N cross our fingers so that they'll fulfil...

Since early age we plant seeds in dark,
Share our secrets with soil n embark

N wonder why d blossoms R hidden
We trace d moon with our imagination

Hoping that d stars'll tip down
N just for us they'll be smiling around...

But some constellations stay out of reach
Until we learn to stand firmly on two feet.

We wish, promises delivered to our door
Wrapped in ribbon ‘certainty’ on d platter

But Universe is not an overnight mail...
It’s a slow Sunrise unfolding colourful trail.

It happens when Earth is ready for it,
N warm enough to welcome d light.

D dream’s waiting for us to grow roots...
Deep enough to snap in stormy bouts

Doubt that we’ve wrestled without regret
Heartbreak that felt like a stone in pocket

Moment when we’d run out of breath,
It's strengthening d back n moral strength

Broadening views n toughening d hands
So that we'd lift that wish n then expand

Imagine trying to carry a newborn Oak
Before it learns to bend in wind's stroke

It's branches'd break, d trunk'd crack...
N we’d both end up with splinters attack

So today let's celebrate our stumbles...
N praise sleepless nights with troubles

Worry shaped us like water shapes stone.
Let's honour tears shed in corners hidden

Becuz each salt droplet was a promise,
Refusing to give up n work for d life

One day we’ll open our hands n see,
We'll find that seed has become a tree…

Strong enough to bear fruits of paradise
N sturdy enough to cast cool shades...

N so tall that it’s blossoms 'll touch d sky
Everything's possible if we try-n-try-n-try

That’s when our Dream arrives,
Not as a gift from someone else,

But as d harvest of everything…
That we’ve carried from d beginning...

N when that moment truly comes,
We realise that it's not a magic or d luck

It's about learning to be big enough,
Also brave enough n kind enough...

To face all sorts of challenges n battles
To create n carry our own Miracles...
