LIFE..

Soul takes shape

 in  the form of life

giving  us reasons to celebrate.

Now , there is laughter  and mirth,

and profuse joy

at the thought  of  continuity

 and permanence of a lineage.

Tradition and custom will pass on

from  me to my now born

and henceforth.

That is  life,

 A circle

where an end is a beginning.

SOL (SUN in Greek)

A  riot of colors,

Purple, Magenta, Yellow, Orange , Red,

 a ‘ball of fire’

distinct and distanced

with energy  that  exuberates , exhilarates

and sustains.

A life force

source of all vitamins,

 and nourishment .

An illuminator and the very phenomena of LIFE.

Refuge

Silver moon - pristine, chaste,

jewel of the star studded sky

 flickering flames in  mountain curves

 shimmers through the mist and fog.

 In the daylight haze,

 the lush  green conifers ,

and rhododendrons tall,

velvet cobbled floors,

 steal the show.

God of nature

reigns in the  murmuring stream,

 sparkling waters of the spring,

 the  birds, bees  and wind.

The 'HILL'  is a  healer,

restorer and resurrector

for parched 'city'  souls.

EYES...

Eyes speak

the language of the heart


to the one 


sieved from the crowd.


Then-


there’s communication in silence, 


a rupture of emotions 


Only ‘EYES'  fathom!

SHADOW

There you are,

my mate of the soul.

 My companion

in weather, fair and foul.

The one to silently endure

my idiosyncrasies,fancies.

You delve into the deepest realm

yet, do not say.

You are my  ‘all,’

my Ego, my Alter Ego.

The one to walk through.

SURPRISE!

Surprise, a pleasant surprise,
is like a gust of whistling wind
to whose gentle rhythm,  leaves rustle
and branches sway.


Then, in no course of time
the gentleness howls,
swells with overbearing energy
and uproots the very trees that  danced the 'gentle' dance.


The land is then bare.
Arid and sterile!

Queen

Dampened floors and mildewed stores,
potholes, bumps and humps,
puny horses , rickety  rails,
houses upon houses,
cars upon cars,
and people upon people.
Screeches and stampede,
lean dogs and hungry humans,
sad state, sorry plight.
Stench and squalor,
anarchy, confusion,disharmony.
The Queen has lost her glory.
