Here’s to Those That Persevere!

Posted on by Tracey L. Bhattarai 
We all know life has it’s challenges,
They help us grow and evolve on our rollercoaster of life,
Yet some of us enjoy making challenges for ourselves,
And then persevere through the mayhem and self created strife…

This forces an extravagant ‘makeover’ if you will,
In an array of life’s many facets for them,
Depending on how far they persevere beyond perceived limits,
Shall decide whatever from they’re successes will ultimately stem.

For ’tis not just those we see highlighted in the news,
Or the successful business CEO’s in city’s ever busy,
But those that seem near invisible living an illusion of comfort,
That put themselves in that position in a way that seems dizzying.

For this world has an abundance of stories ~ most unknown,
Of people among us that have gone from variations of poverty to comfortable bliss,
Through pushing themselves deliberately beyond levels of normal sane limits,
Giving themselves an edge most would fall short of or altogether miss…

So here’s to those that persevere through all they create and encounter,
Whilst pushing their way through their untold inspiring quest!
May you see success more smoothly in whatever it be you’re trying to manifest,
And continue inspiring those that watch you sloughing away to have a go at trying to do their best!

The Element of Abundance

Posted on by Tracey L. Bhattarai 
When we look at all that we may have,
And take note of that in which we don’t,
We may find our minds can wallow a tad in our lacking,
To the point of distracting us from what we have,
Planting a seed of inadequacy in any thoughts yet honed… 

This seed in turn can ripple out into our lives,
Creating a mental focus in many an area of lack,
If we don’t find a way to extinguish this mentality with haste,
It can create chaos and deprivation beyond polar to our desires,
Even turning away those that have always had our back…

However if in our moment of mental inadequacy,
We look at our lives and note all we have in this moment,
A very different direction shall define our thoughts,
Guiding our way with a humbling dose of gratitude,
Thus bringing the element of abundance into a component.

For when the element of abundance defines ones mindset,
One sees everything one happens to possess,
In a light that attracts to one more prosperity, 
Healing ones energetic heart and mind more in each moment,
‘Till one glows bold and bright in devine quintessence. 

Though this doesn’t mean one should ignore,
Whatever it may be that one is lacking…
By all means take a moment to note it but then refocus,
For ’tis rarely a mindset of lack that prospers,
But those that can send thoughts of inability packing.

Thus why we need radiate our quintessence from thoughts ’n’ heart,
Confidently shining positively our ability to transpire,
With a grateful subtle pride in all it is we have,
Knowing we always have an abundance of whatever we need,
In turn effortlessly attracting more of what we truely desire.

When the Words Flow

Posted on by Tracey L. Bhattarai 
When the words flow from ones brain onto paper
One can be sure to think there’ll be mess,
And yet more oft' then not ’tis pure magic,
Thus is just how I personally write I confess.

For while some prefer planning and sculpting,
Endless research and contemplating…
There’s nothing quite as Devine as just sitting,
And letting the words flow like water in a storm - not debating. 🙂 

Writing is an art, and a most enchanting one,
That lets one’s beholder cast the pictures in their mind,
Taking them further each time through their own evolution,
Whilst evolving the writer beyond their current point in kind.

Though at times writing can be a most frustrating event,
When the words shan’t flow on the cue that we’d like,
 Pens run out of ink, devices go flat, the stream of words block,
 or life just happens to decide to block our delight…

Yet letter vie letter in each written moment,
The enchanting magic of when the words flow,
Can take all they reach onward seraphically or not.
For it all depends what the writer shall have for them this time in stow…

Wisp O’ the Wind

Posted on by Tracey L. Bhattarai 
When not a leaf is moving,
And the day is sticky and thick,
The heat's so dense it’s hard to breathe,
As one contemplates lazing round near in the nick…

No bird is stirring though the midst of the day,
’Tis too dry and hot even for them,
The flys though are out in force to drive most mad,
However ’tis not a horror story from which this stems…

’Tis but a normal late spring/summers day in the outback,
The sort of midday that blisters and burns,
Australia into being the Sunburnt Country,
When it's beaches and wintertime for which one yearns.

Thus when not a moment too late a glimpse of a breeze,
Bring’s a micro glimmer of reliefs hope to all,
One revels in it’s gentle kiss guiding the gum leaves to dance,
From ground to tip it illusions a slight sway to the call.

Though soon the breeze light strengthens boldly,
Lifting the top layer of dust in it’s path,
As it strengthens to blow a rage through the bush,
Leaving near no debris in it’s aftermath…

And yet as it roars through the scrub,
One can’t help but notice how much it sounds like the ocean,
Rising and crashing like waves on beach rocks,
Although it be leaves here in motion.

Replenish Thy Being.

Posted on by Tracey L. Bhattarai 
When one finds themselves with unchecked momentum,
Through their mundane day vie day,
Spiralling one’s physical energetic vibrancy,
Away to fuel one’s work, chores, and efforts to play….

One may find soon enough one’s being starts to crave,
Things like earlier bedtime, higher carb food,
And an increasing abundance of stronger coffee, 
Combined with an element of a grouchier mood…

And yet to think it can all be bypassed,
If one were to prioritise a moment to replenish thy being,
Find an element in thy day to recharge oneself,
In whatever way it is in which one seems to be needing.

For when we find our ultimate balance,
That allows us to seraphically flow through our day,
Our lives seem blissfully aligned to our purpose,
And we gain a perspective that the universe is guiding our way…

Yet how can we possibly find this element of balance,
For when we're exhausted it sounds a far fetched dream,
However the answer often lies within our minds,
At our core, where we know that our perception is far from that it may in this moment seem…
Adjourn here to find a moment to replenish.

Endure Thy Plan…

Posted on by Tracey L. Bhattarai 
When we feel we’ve fallen from our path,
Or the way from now seems rather darkened,
We may perceive an illusion of no way to continue,
Beyond the point we’ve so boldly embarked upon…

Yet here ’tis where one can find an element of solace,
For no path is completely straight and smooth,
Life without challenging elements would be beyond dull,
If all were constantly bliss and perfection we’d have nothing to improve…

Thus if one finds themselves a moment imbrued with contemplation,
’Tis most likely one shall find a new element to behold,
A fresh perspective towards one’s plans that seem so uncomprehending,
Perfectly evolving you to grace your end goals how they’re supposed to unfold.

This is why one need endure thy plan,
Both one’s long term plans and short,
With added elements of flexibility ~ especially of mind,
Guiding evolution despite thoughts that may retort.

Thrive Through Transcendence

Posted on by Tracey L. Bhattarai 
When a seed sprouts through earths crust,
’Tis abound with pure potential abundant,
As it reaches skyward for the warm light of the sun,
Unaware its probability to reach its highest potential is actually scant.

Despite the odds being vastly far from their favour,
They grow each day towards their ultimate goal,
Despite the pressure bearing down to overwhelm them,
They find ways to evolve through the limitations of this life’s role.

Eventually they may wilt, their perspective bringing a darker moment to light,
Numb in the darkness they exist in a kind of weird trance,
Unable to feel, unable to function, unable to see any light through the fog…
Until an element of kindness invites them to thrive through their transcendence…

Said element brings to them reprieve, a glimmer of shining light through the foggy surrounds,
Triggering a path outwards towards the suns warming light,
Thus giving them a new sparkle, though needing a touch of strategic planning,
To grow further on through thoughts for their seraphic life that they can now fight…

Day by day they can now creep higher, closer than ever before to that they strive,
Shining a way for those not yet thus far upon their own unique path of life,
As they evolve beyond the layers from their darker days they’ve shed to grow this far,
‘Till they bloom beautifully beyond anything they could have expected to enthrive,
Seraphically… through all transcendence.

Berry Pickin’

Posted on by Tracey L. Bhattarai 


Once a seed with potential loaded,
Erupting skyward through earths crust,
Craving sunlight and damp soil for its  thirst to quench,
Implanting its roots deeply to thrive ‘tis thrust.

Day by day, soon year by year, each season passing swift,
Strengthening in its not quite sheltered spot,
Gains this one an edge most dream but rarely appear to receive,
Yet here it thrives boldly onward beside its equally thriving cohort!

Thus as it cycles through the seasons soon it starts to bloom,
Blossoming with a sweetened scent to all nearby,
‘Till weeks pass and the last fluff like piece falls upon the breeze,
Leaving green growing fruit to mark that berry picking shall soon be nigh… 

Weeks pass berries ripen, through different shades of red,
Eager little mouths testing fast to see if the time is yet,
For patience is something near bested with each not quite ripe berry ‘tis said,
Though a long moment waiting builds its strength more than they fret.

Thus when many a berry ‘tis finally ready to pick at its flavourful peak,
Buckets and ladders venture forth to the tree for the happy feat,
Of plucking its rather juicy bounty from branches far from bleak,
Though once committed ‘tis a task not exactly for those too meek…

Yet on they pluck berry by berry stopping to taste so few,
Once buckets are full one looks to find there’s still plenty for the birds too,
For when trees be loaded with more berries than leaves there’s certainly no need to que,
One can pick away ‘till all’s content that one is finally through!

Then onward comes the tasks of jam making,
Freezing amounts desired and slice baking,
For with such an abundance comes an element of sharing the undertaking,
Knowing with time shall again come such a tasty bountiful partaking!

In The Gloom of Wintertime

Posted on by Tracey L. Bhattarai 
When Wintertime adventures are in full swing,
One finds themselves in variants outside their norm,
Be it just weather conditions, or alternate swings,
Oftentimes pushing our bodies systems more to perform…

Regardless it a hike starting in ten n under temps,
Or a crowd not mixed amongst much before,
Our bodies can only take so much beyond normals extremes,
‘Til our immune system finds itself stretched beyond its limits core. 

Thus soon there’s a sniffle, a cough, an increasing temp,
Whilst Rain drizzles like children’s noses,
A sick day when everyone is fighting it off,
That’s far from snuggles and cozy horizontal poses…

For when a sick day doubles a rain event,
Movies and blankets may seem minds ideal,
However when everyone’s coughing/sneezing disrupts the storyline’s,
Soup, sleep and medicinals may become a nicer path through the ordeal…

Though devices have become alarms for medicine times,
And crystals find foreheads to soothe in kind,
Many a restless child upset they’re too sick to play,
Brings another element frustrating to one’s bind.

Yet there’s comfort in the warmth of a well herbed, spiced soup,
And a small ones smile a few days in brings hope of an imminent mend,
Soon enough all will be back out on another wintertime adventure,
Ever grateful for this ill moment in the gloom of wintertime to finally have come to its end!

Core Concept

Posted on by Tracey L. Bhattarai 
On the path of life one ventures,
Twisting, leaping, in a direction or three at once,
And yet all three one day one may find,
Are just one, long, intertwined path,
Of illusionary elements that at their core,
Are all of the exact same kind.

‘Tis the illusion that gains us this clarity,
That we constantly appear to seek,
Hilariously venturing through apparent smog,
Evolving our brains ‘till we think we’ve found our way through,
Thinking there’s some amazing destination,
Only to find ourselves still sitting on the exact same log.

For though we’ve ventured, evolved, transpired,
We’ve learned a lot, changed everything and grown tired,
When we strip back it all, sit, and prepare our next step,
Knowing of the illusion we’ve cleared that’s at our back,
We can see now all the variants we’ve overcome,
Have essentially returned us back to our core concept.

A concept that has been with us our whole lives,
Whether we acknowledge it there or not,
Those whom seek rest assured shall find theirs,
Though it shan’t be what they think they’re looking for,
When they look they may see only that which they can see,
It shall not be revealed until the right moment rears…

Thus why one may seem lost in an illusion,
Illusion surrounded thickly by fog,
We can’t actually clear it while we’re ultimately inept,
Even then ‘tis merely a moment of enlightenment,
To guide our way forth from the moment,
That we gain a rare opportunity to realise that which is…
Our core concept.
