Stand Tall

 Stand tall

Fear not the fall

Build not a wall

but a mansion of scope

on the strong pillars of hope.


How else does the phoenix rise

if not from the burnt ashes?

How else does that little bird fly

if not after that terrible fall?


Stand tall

Take a deep breath

Have a leap of faith

Stand tall

Fear not the fall

Believe me, 

towards success you will crawl.

Epistemology of Change

 Life starts all over again When it gets crisp in the fall Each leaf that now will fall; would carry a piece of the tree tall The greens would now be dressed in yellows As the show of fall follows Everything changes; Yet nothing changes the epistemology of change Seasons may come and go But change flourishes on the throne. ~Avani Irenic

The Yellow Gold Lillies

 Near the rivers they sway Their petals colored in gold Such utopian beauty they behold They dance in glee  as you stand still and see They carry your breath away. Dressed in yellow  with an attitude so mellow My eyes lure as I witness the heavenly beauty they endure. ~Avani Irenic

Sunrise at Kanchenjunga

Their taperings form like a snow-white tent Mountain peaks of Kanchenjunga they were Down into the valleys they descent I see the sinking moon, the fading stars And the rising sun Carrying lights of gold in ton Slow and steady Milds of yellows and pink get ready They encrust the blue skies Forming a paradise Blessed with the very first rays of divine In glee, the mountain peaks shine With a happy heart, they dance In the golden disco lights  The sunlight sparkles And greets the dawn It blesses the mountains and the snow-covered lawn ~Avani Irenic
