This is a soulful poem that explores the journey of life through the lens of an artist’s heart. Blending sorrow with hope, and silence with song.
It reminds us that even in our most tender moments, creativity and love can bloom. A lyrical mirror of resilience and inner beauty.
# In the Courtyard of Emotions #
Why ask the meaning of this fleeting life?
I am the artist—painting dreams with feelings rife.
Within the courtyard where emotions blend,
I craft rainbows from sorrows that time cannot bend.
We plant words like flowers, tender and bright,
Nurtured by love’s rain—soft as the night.
Through trials and tears, hope is our thread,
We move with courage where angels have led.
Joy’s melodies stir the soul to awake,
A song of life from the heart we make.
Though shadows may fall, I will not retreat—
I step with strength where fear admits defeat.
When worries weigh heavy and silence runs deep,
My pen softly dances with thoughts I keep.
It whispers the truth in verses that gleam—
My poem, life’s mirror… my soul’s gentle stream.
In this courtyard of feeling, blossoms arise,
Spreading love’s fragrance beneath open skies.

Poor & honest small business entrepreneurs here in Pune, in my locality, from North India like me because of my impartial appreciation. I don’t know whether to tell you but a scrap wala friend one Mr Verma suffers from poor eye sight. I always enquire about his health. Today I referred to you while talking to him. He was very happy. It’s really great to be a true Indian, mixing with everyone as Indian & not with a label .. it enriched me.

Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt and inspiring experience. 🙏
Your compassion and inclusiveness truly reflect the spirit of a true Indian—one who sees beyond labels, and values every individual with empathy and respect. The way you connect with small business entrepreneurs and your friend , simply as fellow human beings, is both beautiful and humbling.
I’m deeply touched to know that you mentioned me in your conversation—it’s an honour. Please convey my warm wishes to your friend. May his health improve, and may he always feel the strength of friendship and goodwill around him.
Indeed, when we embrace each other with open hearts, we don’t just enrich others—we grow richer within ourselves. Jai Hind .✨

I’m truly glad to hear that—your words mean a lot. 🙏
Yes, do let me know if his native place is anywhere near mine—it would be a lovely coincidence, and perhaps another gentle thread that connects us.
Your thoughtful care for him is heartwarming. It’s people like you who quietly make this world more compassionate, one gesture at a time.
Wishing you both good health, continued warmth in friendship, and many more enriching conversations. 🌼
Take care always.
