FESTIVAL OF SOUNDS

A festival of light they said!

Woof!  woof!

But whats with all this noise today!

With my tail tucked in

My ears weeping shut

Dribbling with fear

Whichever turn i take

There is another loud bang! Bang!

A poor dog in the street

A silenced woof !

Now ! Bang bang! And Ha ha ha! 

Happy Diwali  !

HIDING FROM

Smile; a veil that hides your heart

Eyes; a shield that hides your soul

Pride; a wall, you hide your wounds

Pomp; the fort, you hide your ignorance

Pleasure; the fruit that hides your delusion

Hope; the cloud that hides your fears

Self; the lie that hides the truth

Oh! Tell me dear friend!

What is that, you are hiding from?
