The Universe

Unfurls

In me,

Revealing

its secrets and mysteries.

    Such a cute looking poem with a deep meaning! How did you come up with the concepts for the images? I’m curious about that.

      Thank you, Sri! I used elements from Canva. Some of them, I made using multiple elements and blending them to give resonance. And most of them I found aa it is.

    Loved this! We’re a whole universe in ourselves and we should never forget that 🙂

    The way you described the universe as this vast, ever-present force that guides us was both comforting and thought-provoking. I loved how you emphasized the importance of trusting in its timing and not rushing things. It’s so easy to get caught up in the hustle and forget that sometimes, the best things come when we least expect them. Your perspective reminded me to take a step back and appreciate the journey, even when it feels uncertain. The idea of the universe working behind the scenes to align everything perfectly was a beautiful reminder to stay patient and open.

      Thanks Romila, but as you said, ” I loved how you emphasized the importance of trusting in its timing and not rushing things. It’s so easy to get caught up in the hustle and forget that sometimes, the best things come when we least expect them. Your perspective reminded me to take a step back and appreciate the journey, even when it feels uncertain. The idea of the universe working behind the scenes to align everything perfectly was a beautiful reminder to stay patient and open.” I couldn’t understand how did you find this from my poem where I haven’t said a word about timing or not rushing or appreciating the journey. I am curious to know more about your feedback. Please elaborate.

        I can see how my interpretation may have seemed a bit of a stretch, and I appreciate you bringing that up. When I read your poem, I felt a sense of underlying patience and a quiet acceptance, almost like a subtle reflection on trusting that things will unfold in their own time, even when we’re unsure. It wasn’t explicitly stated, but perhaps that’s what resonated with me—the tone felt reflective of those moments when you let go of control and allow the process to happen naturally.

        Secrets and mysteries usually take time to open up and I believe in not rushing or not enjoying the journey of life – hence I mentioned that keeping my idea in mind. I wrote a deeper meaning of mysteries.

    The whole universe resides in us, and this poem rightfully says so.

    What we aspire to be, and what we constantly think about, already exists within us. Although we may not always feel this connection because of the distractions, it is always present. It offers us intuition and gently guides us along our path.

    Another delightful poem! All the best.
