STORIZEN POETRY
Wake up to breathing, breathe into
sleep
Breathe in the aroma of morning
readiness deep
The pain of depression and fatigue
unfortunate
Breathe with love as a friendly
smile or motherly hug affectionate.
Breathe in music, breathe in colours
Breathe in the nothingness that
pervades the Universe
The favourable do breathe in as do
the adverse
But now take a breather for reading
this verse.
Like a bamboo taking its time to
grow, so has Vidya waited,
patiently, for her time to come to
live a life of purpose. A poet,
writer, blogger, motivational
speaker, English language teacher,
instructional designer, content
developer, and yoga enthusiast,
Vidya has, today, broken the
invisible shackles of an outdated
society.
An active member of poetry circles,
her work has appeared in national
and international literary
magazines, literary platforms and
anthologies. Her first book of
poems 'The Flautist of
Brindaranyam', a collaborative
effort with her photographer
husband, Shankar Ramakrishnan,
was published in December 2017.
