Original Submission by Sheranga Ranasinghe

Blessed – 23rd Dec 2025

Perplexed

I am still

By the emotional

Rollercoaster,

I am in, with you…

You’ve woven

A spell around me

With softness in

Your whispers

With the glitter

In your eyes

With that smile

That catches your eyes

Like stars lights …

I am blessed

When You are one

With the trees

And waters

That enchants me,

When you are one

With the ground

And soil

That holds me

And humbles me ..

Camouflaged among

Things that are

Precious and beyond …

I am blessed …

When you become the peace

And chaos I seek …

As you catch me

Off guard

Bringing laughter

To my life

Taking

A leap of faith

And ending up

In your arms

In a moment of bliss …

I am blessed …

You are a mix

Of complex

Simplicities,

A mystic puzzle

Just for me

to solve and resolve

To enjoy

To embrace

To love, madly

I am blessed …

As the jungle

Meets the sea…

As the leopard

Makes a visit

To see you,

As you storm

Through joys

And pain

Yet remain

Humble and brave

A mystic wind

Carried you

My way,

to love with

an intensity

that I have not

felt before …

I am blessed …
