The Following two poems are taken from Hiba Maria’s poetry collection ‘To The Tomorrows’

Living Contented

Whither life leads me,
I surely must follow,
With a love for living deep,
And cynicism shallow.
For the world is wide enough
To find a quiet hollow,
Beside the twittering bulbul,
And beneath the glittering aster.
The earth may certainly spin faster,
But here, I am at peace with life,
And that for non eternals should suffice

Writing

Risky it is indeed for me
To hold this pretty pen
Laying out my bare, supple heart
Before a billion men.
Vulnerable and wonderful
Is language as a link,
How strangely sweet the synchronization
Of thought, feel and ink!

Author Bio:

Hiba Maria is a wife and mother, happily settled amongst the woods and tea estates of Coonoor, The Nilgiri Mountains, India. Living amongst the wilderness blesses her with constant inspiration and a calling towards the pen, the brush and just about every other form of art. She has a passion for writing and her work reflects mainly on the unpredictability of life and living, with a sort of wry humor and introspection. Having lived mostly in major cities in India and abroad, she loves the solitude of the mountains she now calls home.
