PinnedJust BreatheA fresh slate, opportunities awash, a new year, new dawn, the possibility of a new life — or perhaps a chance to begin again. Breakaway from yesterdays, unaccounted experiences, half-open chapters, dust-laden memories, long lost ties — broken for some time to come. Begin with your thoughts, discover yourself, your innately beautiful…Poetry2 min readPoetry2 min read
PinnedMember-onlyThat Feeling AgainA poem by Natasha Kurien — It’s the dawn of a feeling that, a seemingly wonderful, fortuitous, event is almost certain. That the stars and moon are going to align, to sprinkle fairy dust, that will mend the broken pieces. It’s that feeling that reaffirms, faith in humanity, the world, and the uncertain.

Published in R3AL·Apr 27, 2021Carried AwayA poem by Natasha Kurien — Carried away by a thought — like a leaf in the wind, giving in to its whispers, swaying to its pace, never quite settling, but constantly in transition.

The sponge that is the mind absorbs this dawn of realization all at once stirring up a furor within.
