Flower at breaking
dawn
My morning refuge
But evening comes
The sun sets
Life goes on !

EMBRACING GLOW
Up in the heavens
The clouds part
The full moon glows
Down below
As the cool breeze blows
Two hearts embrace in a smile
OLD MAN'S CLOTHES
Not very long ago
When the sun was younger
And the sky was bluer
My heart was full
My spirit was free
But then;
All in a snap
Thirty years have gone by now
Things and life have changed
My hairs are grey
My eyes are colder
I wear an old man’s clothes
My bones creek
I tremble as I speak
Its too late I know
Soon I too must
go
But my heart still yearns to stay!
As the morning sun rises to greet me
And I live to see another day
I rejoice in grateful silence !
DARK FOREST
The morning sunrise brings no joy any more
The birds song is mere noise
As I wake up each day
My heart is sore
My soul in wounded
I wish I was not born at all !
I had once found
the ultimate truth in everything
Now I’m lost it in this dark forest of thoughts and feelings
As I wander as a
stranger in my very own mind
Tell me oh Lord!
What has become of me !
SUDDEN THOUGHT
Who am I
Why am I here
I think !
But then!
Suddenly!
The wind blows
The branches sway
The mynah flies away!
CRIMSON WISH
Crimson petals of the shady gulmohar
Adorn the summer tree line
Proud of its color and heritage
Basking in the
glorious sun
The petals enjoy these happy days
But the rains come and go
The season changes
The flowers wither
The petals fall away
Risen in its place
The fruits too dries
up
And the seeds are all scattered out
Not too long since these flow of changes
Beginning from scattered seeds in a distant land
A new forest is
born
New trees, new life!
Among this new tree line
Another the crimson flower blossoms !
Proudly swaying in the summer breeze
Basking in joy of self glory
Still happily wishing
Forever, I too shall stay!

BLUE KYOTO SKY
A swarm of fighter jets whiz across the eastern skies
Trembling below
The city of wood and beauty
Serene gardens
Ten Thousand shrines
A life of millions
But then; disarmed and un-pickled
The planes just fly away
Was it the pilots
Was it the western cabinet
Was it the beauty of the gardens below
No one really knows!
Two big bombs fell elsewhere
Million lives lost to hatred
Cities burnt down to ashes Urban Monsters have now taken their place
But down here
The temples stand tall against the cedar trees
The gardens are still tranquil and green
As an alien to this drowning civilization
I sit here by a temple pond
Beside me, carps swim and dance in a myriad of colors
As clear water ripples around their snouts and fins
The reflected sunlight shines and glitters
Standing in stoic silence
Stone lanterns and tea houses tell tales to one another as they relive the past glory
Another plane flies high now
A white streak is left behind as a trail
Slowly, like human history
As all the traces gently fade
The eastern sky is finally blue again
ANOTHER DAY OF CHANGE
The clear blue skies Just a few clouds floating by
The sun sets
The moon rises
The clouds too pass away
Sitting by the window
As life around me changes
The I in me wonders
Will I wake up to another day ?
JUST ANOTHER DAY
The Autumn rain has stopped now
But not the drizzle and spray
Heavy with the rain drops
The flowers of the morning bow down and sway
Perched on the wet branches, fluffing their features, the little sparrows chip away
As clear water glides over the smoothed pebbles
Lost in this sparkling beauty
Sitting under the shade of the cherry tree
I wonder !
How can this be!
Just another day!
