The most beautiful things happen When the heart is fully open Even in shocks & painful reality We can find the deeper ocean Everything has its own value There’s no need to judge & measure The free flow of pure energy With that magical connection Transforming the blurry vision Through the spectacles so spiritual The echo of the naked heartbeat Is the melodious percussion Every step on this journey Is the sacred destination Every word on this transparency Is my very own projected reflection

Just look at this beautiful scene Sunny beams in minus five degree C Snow is the shiny jewel of the trees The ground is decorated with calming tapestry The impressions of feet can be very deep But they will disappear one day eventually What to lose & what to achieve It’s never about the win or defeat Just close or open your lids as you please And breathe in & out this winter breeze in peace Listen carefully to the intuition & the beat The energy is real, it’s pure & serene The heaven is here, it has always been Look deep within coz you’re this beautiful scene
Enjoy the video / reel version…This beautiful video is taken by myself…

I’m humbled, deeply touched & honoured by sharing this amazing, beautiful & heartfelt review with you, of Lightning Rhymes by Pragalbha Doshi, of Infinite Living of my debut book – Lightning Rhymes…I’m filled with the feeling of WOW…what a way Pragalbha has written this review…a profound gift to me…my gratitude to you, Pragalbha ✨🙏✨
“Navin Manik’s poetry and poetic prose give us glimpses of the kind afforded only to the one who is touched to the core of their soul and then allowed to return to surface. I am overwhelmed with appreciation for how present his words are to the moment-to-moment flow of life from inside out, through, and through.
Lightening Rhymes is a treasure to hold in my hand, as I read page after page. This is the poetry of the kind that comes unannounced and breaks one open, one by one, or perhaps seals one back, one by one, depends how we look at it. I recognize all those themes and spaces from where, as if a triumphant mourning happens through poetry as each one trickles out of our being – Navin does all of it absolutely exquisitely. His poems are an experience of a Fullness of Nothingness that moves within into a stillness – very impactful in written and spoken form. They are brilliant expressions of the stark experiences of our inner world.
It feels a great contentment for the gift of Navin’s poetry, with such unique rhythm and incredible beauty, to be out in the world.”

Darkness and Light Are they states of mind? Light in Darkness Darkness in Light Is it so black & white?
Diving in the Darkness In the womb of Mother Earth To find the safe haven To die and rebirth Where formless is the very Form And timeless is the only Time Darkness in Light What a pure delight
Amidst Thunder and Storm Where the dark Skies roar The inner Volcano is about to explode The blaze of Lightning Penetrates deep in the Heart To burn the Light To show the true path
The power, the beauty, the wildness It is the crazy dance of Light & Darkness

Listen to your inner voice Sense the gut feeling The intuition It is the deepest and purest voice It is the voice of wisdom Try not to give attention to the voice of fear The voice of pain-body Turn down the volume of the mind Talking to you constantly Telling you what to and what not to do It will eat away the very essence of you Let it go and breathe freely Don’t let the anxiety control the flow of air Open the doors of higher sense perception Listen to the heart WYBIWYSIWYG What You Believe Is What You See Is What You Get Know yourself well Be your true friend Self-love is the key Don’t be afraid of falling There’s always a curled learning Even dark has light Connecting with silence is not being quiet Being vulnerable is not the weakness… …Was the conversation between I and mySelf

I’m sharing my very first spoken word, that I posted on 10th December 2020 on my WordPress blog. I don’t know why I’m doing so all of a sudden but there could be several reasons – from reminiscence to reflection.
The Edge is a poem about my struggles during that time. On 7th November 2019 I was hit by brain hemorrhage on the right side. Over 1 year had passed by but it was definitely not easy for me to fully accept, understand & live with this new reality. The feeling of broken & repaired at the same time. It just didn’t affect me alone but my surroundings as well, including the family. I could see this struggle on my inner screen as flow of images. So I decided to write those images in the form of this freestyle poetry. These words became so intense, at least in my head, that I felt like recording it in my voice. I didn’t know how to create spoken word back then. I didn’t bother searching it either coz I wanted to create this spoken word immediately, with whatever technical knowledge / tools I had. So I recorded my voice on my phone, created a Powerpoint presentation on my laptop, played the voice recording on it, timed the PP slides to sync with my voice & capture this all as a video through a free screen recorder software. I’m presenting the same original spoken word to you all.
Please put sound on…
I sit sharp on the edge of my bench in the dark with a hatchet in my hand to break open my senses & to claim that my pain in the veins is not vain but insane
But I get so mad & a bit sad when I spread metal scraps on myself coz then I bleed the beads so discreet on my crease to decrease the misery
So I feel quite shaky as if my skin is so thin like a leaf & it starts to burn instantly to create the debris that comes out from the heat of the seed
I’m torn at my core that I feel this need to ease & burn my peace into pieces on the street that’s filled with so many deep & some holes unseen
So I scream in infinity with my fluctuating beat coz I can’t simply breathe & it seems I’m the beast hinged to the scene of the shattered dream
I relapse on my screen coz this all feel so diseased when I see this degree of release & then I step explicitly into the bed of fire to become the deceased
But then I focus on to drop my sores with the source of my scope in this hope that one day I’ll for sure end this whole to simply blow everything to the pure

I published my book on 7th November 2021 – exactly 2 years after the bleeding. It’s my second birth or perhaps the first real one.
