[Testimonial] Poems<\/h2>\n

Poems written by a client during her counselling journey with our Professional Counsellor, Joseph Rajagopal.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

Hope<\/h2>\n

The path ahead appears daunting<\/p>\n

Every step I take is faltering<\/p>\n

The vast roads seem endless<\/p>\n

Making me feel so powerless<\/p>\n

How did I take up this mighty task<\/p>\n

A simple, humble way is all I asked<\/p>\n

My heart is shrouded by this burden<\/p>\n

As my misty eyes blur my vision<\/p>\n

I cannot move any more<\/p>\n

Ready to give up my dwindling hope<\/p>\n

The pain is so excruciating<\/p>\n

But do I need to endure the suffering<\/p>\n

As the torrential rains pour down on me<\/p>\n

I am shaken and woken up from my reverie<\/p>\n

As a single ray of sunlight shines through<\/p>\n

Breaking the lingering shadows of my sorrow<\/p>\n

Can there be a glimmer of hope<\/p>\n

For me to chart my own course<\/p>\n

A faint horizon is now visible in the distant sky<\/p>\n

As my blurry vision passes by<\/p>\n

Restoring my lost faith and confidence<\/p>\n

I am now ready to take up this challenge.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

Peace<\/h2>\n

A crack of thunder shatters the peace<\/p>\n

Of a perfectly normal and quiet day<\/p>\n

As streaks of lightning fill the sky<\/p>\n

And clouds cast a dark shadow on the sun.<\/p>\n

Is the radiant past coming to an end<\/p>\n

And a dreary future is beginning?<\/p>\n

I wonder as the pitter patter of rains<\/p>\n

Breaks the monotonous grind<\/p>\n

Of yet another blistering hot day.<\/p>\n

As a cool mist splashes across my face<\/p>\n

And calms my chattering mind<\/p>\n

I see the life around me blossoming.<\/p>\n

Every leaf, every blade of grass<\/p>\n

Is alive in splendid beauty.<\/p>\n

My heart is fluttering and dancing<\/p>\n

Mesmerised and alive with what I see.<\/p>\n

The darkness is finally washed away<\/p>\n

Bringing in peace and tranquility.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

Free<\/h2>\n

To unfurl its colourful petals<\/p>\n

A tiny flower waits in patience<\/p>\n

To fill the air with its fragrance<\/p>\n

And blossom in its beautiful transformation.<\/p>\n

A dazzling butterfly finally emerges<\/p>\n

Ending the agonising wait from gloom<\/p>\n

Shattering the walls of its cocoon<\/p>\n

To flutter around the flowers in bloom.<\/p>\n

I emerge like the flower and butterfly<\/p>\n

Breaking myself from the shackles of misery<\/p>\n

Embracing the exciting world around me<\/p>\n

As I awaken my spirit, I am liberated and finally free.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

Here and Now<\/h2>\n

Here and now the rays of sunlight<\/p>\n

Breathe life into a sleepy world<\/p>\n

Giving a sense of hope and faith<\/p>\n

To a new day and a new beginning.<\/p>\n

Here and now a distant thunder rumbles<\/p>\n

Beckoning the onset of drops of rain<\/p>\n

To quench the thirst of parched lives<\/p>\n

Flooding with joy and wiping away any misery.<\/p>\n

Here and now I am alive in every breath<\/p>\n

In every passing minute and every second<\/p>\n

Soaking in the beauty of every moment<\/p>\n

I am in the present, right here and now.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>
