For some, I am mentioning only a very few lines/extracts from the actual poem which leaves an everlasting impression on the mind of the readers.
Topic - Petit a Petit
Let’s change the narrative - One of the poem I liked the most
Don’t grow thorns
Just because you couldn’t grow flowers. Don’t freeze
Just because you couldn’t melt.
There’s more than what meets the eyes That can be touched and felt.
~More colours than black and white
Things will change for the better - A need of the hour poem since the entire world is under a lock down with so much of stress and other issues which has impacted many individuals and businesses worldwide.
Topic - The magic that you hold
Letting in the ray of belief in your day And creating a place where darkness Cannot stay.
~Belief, that dose of magic
For all you need
Is your own magic
To wipe away all your griefs
~The magic that you hold
You don’t decide which side you are on.
When the rainbow sings its magical song, The clouds may burst on the side where you Stand
Or on the opposite side of the dry land.
~Life happens
Phoenix - This poem has some real powerful wordings which would influence he readers, for sure.
Topic - Look within
“It’s something that drives away the blues.”
He told me to see my life as a canvas
That I can paint in with my form of art And any point in life is a good start!
~You are the painter of the canvas of your life
There’s much courage wrapped
In your life’s tale.
Share it forward.
It may be that wind beneath someone’s Sail!
~You have the universe within yourself
Evolve - One of the other poems, I liked the most under this heading.
In fact, the poems that were covered under this were more intense compared to other poems. Hence do not miss it and this section would require additional concentration/time to read.
Topic - Bloom
Don’t push your heart to the ground When it’s meant to fly.
Don’t listen to gravity,
It’s telling you a lie.
~Fly, my friend, fly
Close the doors to hate
And open them to the opportunities, Yes, with every sunrise.
~Bloom!
The poems under this topic are short and quick read.
Topic - Dream on
Give your dreams wings.
Let them fly.
Whoever tells you otherwise Is telling you a lie.
~Dream on
The nights will glide
And burst in light,
Giving birth to a brand-new day!
~Tomorrow is another day
Today, you have fame.
Tomorrow, no one may even know your name.
Today, your heart may jump high with joy. Tomorrow, the slightest thing may annoy
~Tomorrow will be a new day
How true are these lines 👆
Don’t overthink is a thought provoking poem.
My overall impression is - Ambica Uppal has penned some of the most beautiful poems which also has the intensity coupled with reality making you to realize your potential and not to get bogged down by few incidents/events since world is a better place to live. I loved her writing style which is different and is well complemented with some beautiful illustrations which were done by herself along with Anika Sagar and Ashween Kaur Lamba. These illustrations are a real good ones and gives additional support to the poems wherever it has found its place.
