Me

“Ocean and Sky.” Acrylic Painting by Sima Pendharkar 2011.

My legs are strong.  My arms are smooth.  What was once unsure can now stand through the test of time.  We step ahead.  We step back.  What keeps us going?  I don’t have the answers.  I hum to my favorite song as I speed down the highway.  I like speed.  I giggle.  I cry.  Who is doing that.  Warm, burning feeling down my throat.  I twist and turn, moving without rhythm to the beats that I cannot hear.  I rest awake, staring into nothing.  Who knows what the new day will bring.

“Welcome to the World Amani.” Acrylic Painting by Sima Pendharkar 2008. (Painting/Poem written for my niece’s birth)

little Star,

may you tread lightly

with the Sun always hitting your Heart

may you hold your head high

and allow Mother Earth’s

eternal Love, peace, Happiness and kindness

to move your  beautiful spirit

so that it may roam the earth in discovery

free, uninhibited, with purpose and joy
