Shores Quotes

“When you left
you left behind a field
of silent flowers
under a sky
full of unstirred clouds...you left
a million butterflies
mid-silky flutters

You left like midnight rain
against my dreaming ears

Oh and how you left
leaving my coffee scentless
and my couch comfortless

leaving upon my fingers
the melting snow of you

you left behind
a calendar full of empty days
and seasons full of aimless wanders

leaving me alone
with an armful of sunsets

your reflection behind
in every puddle
your whispers
upon every curtain
your fragrance
inside every petal

you left your echoes in between
the silence of my eyes

Oh and how you left
leaving my sands footless
and my shores songless

leaving me with windows full of
moistened moonlight

nights and nights
of only a half-warmed soul

and when you left...
you left behind a lifetime
of moments untouched

the light of a million stars
unshed

and when you left
you somehow
left my poem...unfinished.

“To meditate is to sail a course, to navigate, among problems many of which we are in the process of clearing up. After each one looms another, whose shores are even more attractive, more suggestive. Certainly, it requires strength and perseverance to get to windward of problems, but there is no greater delight than to reach new shores, and even to sail, as Camoëns says, “through seas that keel has never cut before.” If you will now open a bank-account of attention for me, I foretell sun-smitten landscapes and promise archipelagoes.”
― José Ortega y Gasset, Man and People (Norton Library

“Change versus Transformation--
Change comes when something new just begins...but Transformation comes after an upheaval that tragically alters your life when something or someone you hold close is taken away from you..and you either turn bitter or are called to be transformed in your deep... Transformation comes when uprooted inside..you either drown in the sea or swim hard to make it to the shores...The drive to reach the shores makes you transform in your depths....
However, transformation is accompanied by change but change is not always accompanied by transformation....Transformation comes out of a moral impulse but change is unrelated to anything moral...”
― Jayita Bhattacharjee
