Time will not turn back
28 January 2016

Letting go
Has come to a close
Moon was high
Tide was low
I breathe in now deep and slow
Sheltered beginnings
Waves were rough
Felt we’d had enough
On it went
All fear spent
It is time now to rebuild
With love to be filled
Hark now friends
Our lessons are learnt
Hearts empty
Room plenty
Weave back those bridges we burnt
In dreams make amends
Cosmic swirl
Heaped in emptiness
The ropes cut
In space hurled
We are no longer alone
On path to oneness
We mend hearts
Quiet minds discontent
The slaves free
The will strong
We now know where we belong
Journey to sunshines
They will fight
Invoking all might
Thunder clear
Banished fear
Can you see why we are here?
They no longer rule
While we toil
Building tomorrow
Only fool
Unkempt heart
Would not wish for the fresh start
Freedom is by choice
Green paper
A thing of the past
Heart scraper
Vanished fast
Clinging on to glory spent
Brings not life unbent
Two to three
Witnesses of loss
Stones rolling
Gather moss
Winds will stop we will be free
The rulers outcast
Make merry
Or make war a truth
I give you
Golden child
Spare the wasted harmony
Time will not turn back
Reading of the poem:

New Beginnings – Future World Music
World of Dreams – Future World Music
Final Judgement – Future World Music
Leap of Faith – Future World Music
Time Keepers – Future World Music
Quest for Freedom – Future World Music
Victory of Life – Future World Music
Oh Geetha, I felt a strong sign of new beginnings in this one. I am always up for things starting anew! Spring is in the air! 🙂

That was a beautiful recitation of the Poem.
Yes! Time shall not turn back.
I wanted to know how did you insert the audio into the post.
If you tell me, I would also rather try and insert at mine.
Do brief me stepwise how we can do it.

Thank you Shiva. For an audio post it is like an image. You first record the audio (I use iphone memo recorder to record) then you press on the image icon in the edit mode of the new post, you choose add, and then you select the place where your recording is and select the recording to upload. Then finally when it has uploaded you press on insert. I hope this helps. Happy recording 🙂

Thanks I shall explore on that.

I did as you said recorded and put it in my pictures and wanted to upload but it is telling such files are not allowed try another. I am not getting to see the image icon. Could you brief me on that. There might be some mistake that I have done. I have scheduled my new poem for Monday 1st feb 9.09 am.
Have a nice week end.

You need to be using the new edit facility. It comes by default if you are not pressing new post from Dashboard. Press new post feom your homepage or from a post so you get it. The icon is at top left of the post when you are in the formatting area

Hope I am not bothering You.
I did as you said, opened a new post to attempt to do that, but it is again saying-
“The file could not be uploaded because the file type is not supported”
What can be done about that, please explore.
One more thing I had scheduled my new post for today at 9.09 am as per the Indian Std Time but it was not posted I mean it did not get published at the specified time, it seems we are 5.3 Hrs ahead of GMT does that count, should we consider that and keep the schedule. This scheduling I got from my friend in the blog world. I informed about it to them, let me see what answer they have to give.
Do you also schedule your posts on the time factor which is available at the saved draft option.
That I found very good for me as I am constrained of time always. If it goes successful, nothing like that, I can just keep the posts ready on saved drafts and let them to publish on the scheduled time. I need not sit on the computer while I am publishing. I can prepare the posts during my leisure time. I hope you understand.
If you are not using that option, you may do that as it shall be of very good use to you, since you post very frequently.
Please do reply, throw light upon.
Thank You,
Shiva

Hi Shiva, I don’t usually use the scheduling for posting and prefer posting direct. If you are using the old post edit from the dashboard then you might get the type issue. If you are using the new one then you should not have a problem unless you are using a format that is not supported at all by wordpress and there are not that many. I use a format called m4a I think, just the memo recorder of my iphone. You need to edit your post from the new post facility and not from the dashboard that is your old post facility. I hope this helps.

Hi Shiva, no I have not. I am now dedicating weekends for reading except when I chance upon some time and read the posts that are immediately available when I enter the reader. Between work, my kids, my own writing and just basically all the small things to do I am not getting much time to read and don’t want to just skip through the lines without properly infusing the writing.

Thank you so much, that is so kind of you to say so. I was just reading your post on tags while I am catching up with most of the reading I have not been able to do in the past 15 days. I did not even know there were stats by tag. I had remained with the last stats based on days and years 😀

Hi Geetha, yes, the tags/category stat is tracked in the old stats page. I have it bookmarked, since it’s easier to read than the new stats page. I was hoping that it would give me an indication on which posts were most popular, but it’s flawed. It only gathers recent data.

I have to admit I don’t look much at the stats page. The main reason I look at it is to see from which country are the people reading and that gets me quite happy to see the international aspect of blogging
