सादगी / Simplicity  – Kaushal Kishore

 

लगे रहते हैं कुछ लोग 

फालतू के दिखावे में 

कि दूसरे तारीफ करें उनकी,

लेकिन सादगी खुद गहना है, 

उसे कोई जरूरत नहीं 

किसी और गहने की…

🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀

Some people seek praise 

from others unnecessarily 

by flaunting themselves, 

but simplicity is 

inherently beautiful, 

needing no extra adornment…

♫ Separate Lives ♫ | Filosofa’s Word

Songwriter Stephen Bishop recorded his own version for his album Sleeping With Girls for Polydor Records, released in 1985. Bishop received an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song in 1986. It lost to Lionel Richie’s Say You, Say Me, which I played yesterday,  from the same film.

Marilyn Martin, who sings with Phil in this version, was a prominent session singer who landed a record deal with Atlantic after singing backup for Stevie Nicks on her 1985 album Rock A Little. An executive at Atlantic thought she would be a good fit for this duet, and paired her with Collins, who approved. Martin had a minor hit in 1986 with Night Moves before she moved on to a career in real estate.

The Poetic Melody of Ariel’s Song by Dawn Pisturino ‹ From Behind the Pen ‹ Reader — WordPress.com

After grabbing my copy of Dawn Pisturino’s debut poetry collection, Ariel’s Song, which is dedicated to her daughter Ariel Therese Pisturino, you are drawn into the loving and tender emotions of the rumination her heart emits. Our WordPress community knows Dawn as a gracious writer and contributor to this platform and so many others. Her book contains numerous poems published in anthologies and other literary outlets such as Hidden in Childhood: A Poetry AnthologyWounds I Healed: The Poetry of Strong Women, and the 2023 Arizona Literary Magazine.

For me, Dawn’s personal experiences and creative lightheartedness began with her limerick, “The Cannibal and His Dog.” What irony!

A cannibal walking his dog
Got hungry and sat on a log.
“I’ll start with the spleen.
This dog is too lean.
I shouldn’t have taught him to jog.”

Her poem “Rapping” brought chills up and down my spine. It makes you think about those moments when you imagine or believe you heard a strange sound, saw an apparition, or even heard faint whispers of a familiar voice from a loved one that brings comfort, like that of her father. I think we can relate to still feeling our loved ones’ presence long after they are gone. Another poem, “When the Morning Comes” resonates with me regarding how different things look in a new light. Seeing things in a new light unfolds into new angles of vision and awareness that we didn’t see or feel before.
