VERSE: THE WAYSIDE INN
The Wayside Inn stood quietly beyond the village lanes, its whitewashed walls resting beneath the soft rustle of overhanging trees. Apples peeked from a bordering orchard, and children’s laughter sometimes rang near the old stone well just down the hill. The inn’s charm was timeless, not flashy but familiar, with every angle touched by nature’s gentleness. Nestled near the orchard bloomed the Judas Tree, unusual in color but lovely in its difference—its purple blossoms catching the light like…-

Late Summer
Late Summer begins with an image of quiet exhaustion, not of seasons, but of hearts worn thin by time.

Her gentleness becomes a strange rebellion against the world’s indifference, as she continues to pour grace into what no longer responds. Though the speaker cannot always comprehend her motives, he sees enough to sense that her actions, however fruitless,…-

Chapter IV — The Bhagavad-Gita
Chapter IV begins with Krishna sharing a truth hidden by time—one that was once passed from the Divine to enlightened sages but has since faded from the awareness of the world. He tells Arjuna that the same sacred knowledge of selfless action and Yoga was taught long ago to Vivaswata and handed down through generations, but over time, it was lost. In revealing it again, Krishna makes it personal. He reminds Arjuna that although he appears in human form, his divine nature is timeless and eternal. When the…-

Though the path winds and rises steeply, the promise at the top offers enough light to keep weary souls moving forward. Life’s burdens might weigh down the climb, but the hope of something better pushes each step onward. The hill is symbolic—not just of effort,…-

VERSE: TRUE OR FALSE
True or False immediately brings into question something many people often accept at face value—love. But not every act that appears loving is true, and the poem unfolds this truth through vivid, contrasting layers. It shows that love may look the same on the outside—spoken in sweet tones or written in letters—but its core can be selfish, performative, or conditional. Some love simply wants to be adored, not to give. Others admire only the idea of love, not the hard work it demands. Still, the rarest…-

Ballad: Peter The Wag
Peter The Wag found joy not in enforcing the law with stern authority, but in coloring his duties with mischief and mirth. A constable by uniform yet a jester by nature, Peter made his beat into a stage for playful deceit. Those who turned to him for the time received an answer far from accurate, often an hour too soon or too late, depending on his mood. When asked for directions, he responded with conviction, sending travelers off in curious loops and far-flung paths. While some giggled at the unexpected…-
